dependent income and even If her hus-
band is well able to support her, and she
has no children. a woman can always
find ways of spending money for good of
others.
1T is not often that a professional wo-
man win find a man whose income is
sufficient to support her according to her
ideas Of comfort. During her independ-
ence she will have learned to spend
money so freely, that the average amount
would prove Inadequate for her wants
Moreover it is an i~nestimable advantage
for a married woman to have some high,
ennobling interest through life.
"A profession broadens her mind and
eIevates her above small. petty things.
She has no time to gossip and make mis-
chief among her neighbors.

sit is Impossible that a woman should
both devote herself to practising a pro-
fessIon and attend to the duties of a
household. We never find a successful
man in either a profession or business
who has much time to. devote to any
other than his chosen calling. For in
stance, if we see a doctor who has the
camera craze and who spends a great
part of the day swapping beautiful scenes
and poses. we may take it for granted
that he has not many patients. To sue
cessfully engageain a profession of any
kind, means to devote ones whole
thought, time and energy, and in fact,
ones whole life to 1t.
eThe professional woman will be able,
and must be content. to have others at

best, she can only direct. Even though

1.-THE way / arrange Is this
Each maid is furnished with a list con-
tanning everything she is to do on each
day of the week. She can refer to this
any time she may forget just what her
duty for the day is. and does not have to
ask me. Then I have also a list upon
which 1 writs everything I notice around
the house that requires attention.

Every night the girls read this, and
thus find what are my wishes. In this
way. I never nave the slightest trouble
with my housekeeping, and no woman
need have if she is as fortunate as myself
in those she employs. If one has good,
faithful maids, she has only to let them
know just what they are to do, and when
they are to do it, and it is done. And that
is all there is to housekeeping"
So
The professional beauty of this season
must have a very long face. This is her
first requirement. Next she muet have a
very long and slender neck. Third. she
must have a long nose. Fourth, she must
have a plump contour to her face. Last,
mouth must be bowed in many curves. |
Il classifying this style of beauty ii is
sdificult TO place ii. But it started with a
woman well known In London society.

The head was an ideal.
The woman looked at it and did not

she went home, and after a few hours
study did manage to look like that. So
successful was she thai malicious persons
accused her of posing for the painting in
order to make her own style of beauty
the vogue in London and Paris.
In this country she speedily found fol-
lowers in Mrs. Elisha Dyer, Mrs. Armour
and Mrs. Duncan Elliott, who consciously
or unconsciously modelled their styles to
suit the new type.

The face with these ladies' was made
long by parting the hair. There are
those who have a long face to start with:
and then the most difficult work of the
professional beauty is done.
An absolute need of the professional
beauty of this season is the bowed
mouth. This can be accomplished only
by a touch of red. If nature has been un-
kind In the matter of C~upid-bow mouths.
Tn japanese ladies understand this
touching of the lips, and carry with them
tiny pieces of prepared red skin which,
being moistened and touched to the lips,
leaves a blush of red behind.
Those who have pretty mouths-and
most American women have-can try Bit
ing the lips, or, rather, pressing them be-
tween the teeth gently and observe the
effect. If the mouth looks like a bow the
work has been well done, and no more
is necessary. If there is, instead of the
bow. a long red line, something else
must be done.
A touch of powder at each side of the
mouth makes it smaller. You can make
the mouth into a veritable rosebud by
shortening 1t at the sides; but rosebud
mouths are not in style, and you must
cultivate the bow.
This is done by putting a touch of red
upon the under lip and two touches of
color upon the upper lip, one at each
side of the middle crease of the lip. This
makes a true bow, the very one that is
in style this year.
Tit changing of the type of professional
beauty Is one that takes place about once
in twenty years, or once in a generation. |
For twenty years the low. fluffy hair,
the medium sized nose, the short neck
and the pink and white bloom have been
beautiful.
Now the neck lengthens. the face fol-
lows it in contour, becoming bird-like in
symmetry, and the features conform as
