Special Correspondence Of Gazette and Journal
Bar Harbor, Me-, Aug. 16 There
are all sorts and conditions of traps
from the. tiny donkey cart filled with
merry children, to the large landau
from which some dowager looks out
upon the world with an air of supreme
dignity. There are pretty girls and
ugly girls; well-dressed and addressed,
but the pretty girls are in the majority,
and good dressing is rather the rule
than the exception. The daughter of
millionaire is wearing white Or
Candle with tiny green leaves upon it,
and trimmings OF green ribbon, and in
harmony she wears hat Of white chip
trimmed with green, and carries a
white chiffon parasol. And the woman
who doesn't know says; Isn't it
Hweet and SIMPLEX Certainly it is
but IL you could see the bill sent in by
the French modiste, you would under
stand that one pays for simplicity.
The lovely thin material, so inexpen-
eive, is made up over silk, and the
dainty ribbons show, il you examine
them closely, the same figure that is on
the material, and this proves that they
were specially woven for this gown.
And the innocent young man imagines
that
IT COST VERY LITTLE,
because it is nothing but cotton
frock, and yet, without the duty, there
was 1925 paid for it. So much for sim
plicity.
One is forced TO notice as the car
riages go by with their burdens of
womankind growing evil, and that
is the use Of paint. For some time it
has been very common in England the
reason for its existence being that Her
Imperial Sweetness, the Princess of
Wales, not being as young as she was,
finds that she must employ art if she
wishes to retain her good looks. 1t is
(, we'll known fact in London that the
horrible mop Of hair to which she so
persistently clings, is wig, and that
all the young princesses please her best
by arranging their own natural locks
after this horrible couture. 1t is
whispered that she possesses so wigs,
and that each takes its turn. A com

the leader of fashion in London uses
paint, all her set do, and the undesir-
able habit is certainly growing here.
You need only watch the carriages as
they pass to be certain of it, and, with
little thought, you can tell exactly
where each woman learned to paint
whether it was in Paris or London.
The English woman is perfectly frank
in her use of the red saucer. She
puts dab of the color on each cheek
bone and another on her chin, and not
human being is deceived for it
announces itself as the pink of the
pinkest The French woman puts
little on her cheek below the bone,
and tones it with powder. Then there
is some added on the tip of the chin,
on the lobe of each ear, and Just inside
each nostril. / cannot understand why
this last is done, for the impression is
given that the painted one has sore
nose, aud this certainly is not pretty.
DIRECTIONS FOR "MAKING- UP"
A young woman who failed as an
artist is success here teaching the
swell set how to make up, and the con-
sequence is the American woman who
is studying under her, puts on the red
and the white, and black and the blue.
decidedly better than does her sister
who has learned to do it, either in
London or Paris. When this young
woman arrives she first insists upon a
large bowl of hot water. With this
she battles the face of her patient, for
that is what she calls her customer.
The water is hot, not tepid, and she
uses for the bathing a soft linen rag.
The skin is then dried with damask
towel, and then few minutes is
allowed for rest, during which time
it is said the skin gets tight. Next,
with another linen cloth, on which has
been poured mixture of glycerine and
rose water, the face is wiped off then
with chamois fine powder is evenly
applied. After this, the crayon pencil,
which has been softened in the gas,
laccentuares the eyebrows, and is used

above the lashes. If, by any chance,
this is too heavy, the worker removes it

shape is given to round eyes by touch

Now comes the rouge. A linen cloth
Is used. and it is put on the cheeks
and the chin, powder being blended
with it to give a more or less natural
effect, If liquid rouge is fancied, it
Is applied with a sponge, and put on
before the powder, and Whist is known
as hard powder is used in combination
with it, The liquid rouge is deeper
red, and will stay on longer. A rather
weird effect is obtained by one young
woman, who likes to look odd, giving
to her face coat of white powder,
laid on very thick, and then applying
liquid rouge simply to the nostrils
The result is really corpse-lilSe and
yet there are women who persist in
doing it, and who convince one that
after all there are three sexes-men,
women and hays The use of SO much
red on the face necessitates the redden-
Ing of the lips, and for this the LIQUID
Is used. 1t is quite safe as long as one
adheres to cold drinks but it will
come off the very minute anything hot
Is taken. Our girls are looking so
handsome now that it seems a pity this
fancy for paint has taken possession OF
them; but it is to be hoped it is
pnly fad that will die like the sum
mer butterfly
FLORAL DELIGHTS IN MILLINERY.
As the carriages roll by, the hats
worn by the women look like movable
Hover gardens, for they are burdened
with huge limitations of the blossoms

rom roses to daisies, every flower is
