TYPE OF PROFESSIONAL BEAUTY
fans are exquisitely delicate, and the tint
est daub of the rouge is pronounced
enough, while we, with clumsier fingers,
put on the red until we can see it. Per-
haps that is one reason the practice of
rougeing is not in favor here.
And here word about the use of paint
and powder upon the face The profess
sion9l beauty in style this year uses al
most none of either paint or powder be-
cause her color must be creamy and her
eyes bright instead of being treated eX-
ternally. But when necessary there are
many who contend that it's use is more
than justifiable; nay, obligatory. They
say 1t is as necessary TO a wOman'S deli
cacy in some cases, where blemishes are
to be hidden, as the perfume that per-
vades her garments. or the gloss upon
her hair, or the waves upon her temples.
That is their argument, and it isn't such
a bad one. The overuse is what has
brought them into disfavor; never their
proper use. A gentleman who had always
inveighed against the use of powder said
to his wife, after talking to Mrs. Cleve-
land at a white house reception, why
can't You powder like that?" He referred
to the exquisite smoothness of the skin
of the Presidents wife, and inferred that
it was done by Urea tment."
Mrs. Cleveland conforms charmngly to
the new style of beauty She parts her
hair, lengthens her neck by rounded bod
ices and sees that her throat line is not
destroyed. She is really new beauty.
Mrs. Whitney is the same, and in her we'd
ding robe was superb.
The plump outline of the face so nee
essary with the sllmmest figure is manag-
ed by massage. Seventy-five strokes of
the chin night and morning are warranted
to keep the neck firm and free from the
"brisket'' so dreaded by beauties past their
zenith. Bernhard, thin as she is, and old
as she is, has this plump chin, and there
are society women who boast OF it while
being too slim for the weight allowed
them for proportions.
An absolute need of the professional
beauty Of this season is the bowed
mouth. This can be accomplished only
by touch Of red, If nature has been I'M
kind in the matter of Cupid bow mouths.
The 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 blush of red behind
Those who have pretty mouths-and
most American women have-can try
biting the lips, or, rather, pressing
them between the teeth gently and OBJ
serve the effect. If the mouth looks like
bow the work has been well DONE and
no more is necessary. II there is, instead
OF a 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 put
ting 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.
The changing of the type Of PROVISIONAL
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 beauti-
full. Now the neck lengthens, the face
follows it in contour, becoming birdlike
