will be long ana pump. II is quite on the
Greek, yet with touch OF piquancy
around the eyes. In the galleries of IA
nous beauties you see many such faces.
But there are few in real life. Consuela,
Duchess of Marlborough, Is in this type,
and the Louise Of picture-gallery fame,
stepping down the staircase of the palace,
with scarf floating from her throat, is
another type. The new Mrs. w. G. Whit
ncy is much on this style, and as Mrs.
Randolph was quoted for her length OF
throat and the long oval of her face. The
Princess of Wales, who holds her own
through all the years, is. unfortunately.
not OF this style on account Of her pro-
trud-ng forehead. which she Will not UNI
cover.
1t may sound peculiar to those who
keep no annals OF professional beauties,
that the style of prettiness should
change. and that the woman who was a
beauty yesterday is not even good-looking
to-day. But that is the reasoning OF those
who know nothing about professional
beautism, and how it is obtained.
Almost any woman who has been pro-
fessional beauty OF any type can continue
TO hold her title as long as she retains
her features by adjusting herself to the
style of beauty in vogue.

The professional beauty of this season

LENGTHENiNG THE FACE.
Tho face. with these ladies. was made
long by parting the hair. There are those
who have Ions face TO start with, and
then the NEST difficult work OF the probes

not features that count this year. BY
parting the hair and drawing 1t down the
face lines were heightened and the face
made TO resemble the long Greek at once.
The lengthening OF the neck Is more
dirncult. This can only be done by rails
ing the hair and dressing the neck low. \
necklace shOrtens the neck and must not
be worn unless the neck is so long as to
be ungraccful but that would be very
long. indeed. for necks that would make
swan sick with envy are the fashion this
season. The modelling Of the nose sounds
most impossible. hut even II can be ac-
comDlishcd. A nose can be made longer
by touch Of powder upon each side,
where the nose Is too plump and by the
tiniest tOucn OF red upon the inside OF
the nostrils. The last Is practiced by the
rarisian beauties. and by a few London
ers. But American women think II savors

PAINT AND POWDER.
