Any woman, says the Chicago Tribune
/ who has been overlooked by nature in the
/ distribution of dimples can have the de-
| ficiency supplied by machinery
| OF course. the machinery must be in the
| hands of a skilled manipula tor or the re-
suit would be an unsightly scar, or possi-
bly, an open sore or complications of blood
/ poisoning.
The new apparatus. the advent of which
| has been hailed with JOY in the world
! feminine, consists of a specially designed
| knife. with a dainty but very sharp blade
| a tiny, keen-edged scoop. and a very fine
| needle. With these instruments, a pretty
| life-like dimpe can be produced as effec-
| tive as the genuine print of an angels

small, straight incsion is made in the

small portion of the fat underlying the
skin is removed the delicate needle sews
| the edges of the cut together again, and
| within the week the wound is entirely
| healed. leaving the slight depression i'm
the surface of the skin which poets call
| a dimple.
The operation is a simple matter of
! facial surgery, but it requires delicacy
| and skill to prevent a scar If it be well
done, 1t is only necessary TO assist the pro-
cess of nature by proper dressing and
| protection, and the wound heals over so
! as to entirely obliterate the track of the
| knife.
Not often does woman in possession of
a natural dimple desire to have it re-
moved, but occasionally man who con-
| Slders the mark badge of effeminacy
| wishes to get rid of il. This is just as
simple an operation as is the other. In
\ stead of removing a bit of fat from be-
meath the surface, a small portion of the
skin itself is cut away. The edges of the
dimples are drawn together with stitches,
the incision heals and the depression dis
appears.

the depths of grief. whether her face be
darkened by anger. or distorted by jeal-
ousy, the dimple smiles on. The novelty
soon wears off. but the dimple does not,
and becomes a mockery and delusion.

The cry, says the Chicago Tribune,
which rises annually from every seashore.
country, and mountain resort in the land
has this year ma with a new response.
Pasty lotions of more or less harmless
properties are no longer advocated as a
cure for sunburn. Compilations which
have been given a crimson tinge by too
long exposure to summer suns now ind
their speediest cure in a veal outlet. The
veal cure" as it is called has leaped
into a popularity which indicates that it
is more than ordinarily potent
Butchers at the summer watering-places
have ceased to wonder at the loud de-

summer girl returns from her sea bath,
walk, or drive, her first thought is for
the veal outlet that shall preserve the
delicacy of her complexion. The proper
procedure is to have the outlets shaved
into very thin slices. These raw slices
must then be carefully laid all over the
face, and lightly kept in place by passing
narrow tape or ribbon over them. The
result is not becoming, but that is un-
important The victim then retires to a
perfectly darkened room and lies down
for at least half an hour. When the veal
becomes warm by contact with the face.
it should be turned over and again APP
piled.
When the face has ceased to burn the
veal may be removed and the face gently
washed with elder flower water. The
face should not be again exposed to the
sun the same day, and no soap should be
used on it for day Or two. When these
precautions are observed the veal cure is
guaranteed to be effectual.

Quinze heels, once asked a famous artist
how she might acquire graceful car

shoes, place them on the top of your

shoes perfectly balanced you will have

1t has been said mot one sweet girl in
a thousand knows the origin of the friend
of her childhood, Cinderella" Her real
name, says the Chicago Tribune was
Rhodope, and she was beautiful Egyp-
tan maiden who lived $40 years before
the common era, and during the reign of
one of the twelve Kings of Egypt. One
day Rhodope ventured to battle in a clear
stream near her home, leaving her shoes,
which were very small, lying on a bank.
An eagle passing above caught sight of
the little sandals, and mistaking them for
a toothsome tidbit pounced down and car
