but there is just enough to make the

Then comes the rouge. 1t is til varie-

got from our French cousins, and it is
applied in the old fashioned way with

eyes. That will brighten them and
make them look larger. Some is
brought down on the cheeks and the
tip of the chin gets its portion. and so
do the lobes of the ears and the very
tip of the aristocratic nose. Then comes
the really trying part, the blending of
the powder with the rouge, the laying
on of sufficient white to soften the red
and make it look healthful and yet
not cause it to disappear. What must
be attained is rather bright color.

not fading.
Then there is need for a soft pencil.

are brown and not black. After care

of perfume she runs it over the place
where the eyebrows ought to be, so
that every particle of powder and rouge
is removed from that curved line. which
she follows with her brown pencil be-
ing sure that she does not lay it on too
heavy and being very careful to give
the exact line that beauty demands.
Perhaps she may with a dark blue pen
Gil draw a line under her eyes, but a
well bred woman is not eager to do this,
as lining" the face is difficult, and my
lady prefers to achieve success. Look
we'll? Why, she does not look like the
same dull skinned, small eyed woman
who, chatting so cleverly, sat down in
the chair before the mirror a few min
utes ago.
You look at the innumerable bottles
of beautiful cut glass on her dressing
table, and, being a bit curious. you in
quire as to what they are. The first
bottle that you pick up has such a
pungent odor that you recognize it at
once as diluted spirits of camphor.
What is it there for? My lady laughs
and tells you that sometimes when she
is dining out a great deal her appetite
gets the better of her, and then-well,
then her nose grows a little red and, in
addition to dieting for awhile, she
dabbles the offending member every
night with little of the camphor until
it is restored to it's normal condition.
Another bottle once it's stopper is re-

1t is explained to you that it is the

lied Red Cross sisterhood is too small,
and special clause has been added to
the rules under which it may receive
for hospital and field service any wo-
man able to comply with the require
ments in all provisions but that of spe-
cial training.
Not all the work of the society. how
ever, is the caring for the sick. Women
are needed to cook, to wash, TO sew,
to scrub and to perform numberless
services besides binding up wounds and
administering medicine. On the field
of battle the injured need water, there
are letters to be written home. and there
are hundreds of other directions in
which healthy, CHEEKY women, unafflict-
ed with nerves, can make themselves
useful in the Red Cross service.
When called to the front, the Red
Cross nurse may carry a single trunkful
of inpedimenta with her. The uniform
is of blue bingham, with a white cap
and white apron. AS the climate of
Cuba is warm, it is suggested that sum-
mer clothing be taken and such as will
not make the wearer look untidy in case
the 1aundress proves poor one.
Women unable to help the Red Cross
work in any other way may send con-
tributions of money or such donations
of food and clothing as, after writing to
Miss Barton, they shall find to be most
needed.
Among the women of America whose
names are connected with philanthropic
work there is no one more generally
subject of interest and admiration than
the lovely creature who stands at the
head of the Volunteers of America, Mrs.
Maud Ballington Booth. Mrs. Booth has
stated that the women who work with
her are as ready to toll in hospitals and
on battlefields for the lives of her adopt
ed countrymen as in prisons, noisome
slums and dens of sin, where they have
labored to redeem souls from sin.
The mother superior of the sisters of
charity of the Roman Catholic church
is also authority for the statement that
her sisterhood may be depended upon
as volunteers for hospital nurses or for
any service which it will be in their
power to perform to alleviate the hor-
rors of warfare. The sisters of charity
are universally notable for their good
works in time of peace. Whenever and
wherever war has broken out, however,
their heroism and self abnegation in
ministering to the sick and affording to
the last hours of many q storm tossed
soul the peace and consultations of re-
ligion have earned for them the graft
tude of the world, for no matter how

~ circumstances the horrors are a hun.

Then there are two or three kinds of
toilet waters to be thrown into the

clean, but absolutely exquisite, and
that is what a woman should be. The

The Work Of Women on the
Battlefield and In Camp
Hospitals The Red
Cross Society.

With the first gun fired in defense of
the honor of the United States thou
sands of women actively began their
campaign for the relief of the men en-
listed or suffering in her service. Wo-
mems opportunities as auxiliaries in the
great work of warfare are many. With
every war that is fought her field of
labor varies. The women who made
lint and knit socks for the soldiers on
either side in the civil war will have
another class of work to do in the war
between Spain and the United States.
FOR in the last 80 years very material
advancement has been made in military
surgery. One of these is in the use of
antiseptics. Lint, which was largely
manufactured by the women at home
during the late war; will now be bought,
because in the dressing of wounds mod
ern surgery demands certain variety
of antiseptic dressing.

must learn how to manage them to suit
her special needs.
An acquaintance of mine has luster-
less eyes, one of those horrid, heavy,
pasty skins, no eyebrows to speak of,
and yet she is considered a pretty wo-
man. 1t is because she knows how to
dress in the first place, and she un-
derstsnds the art of make up in the
second She never denies to her wo-
men friends that she calls artificial
aid to assist her in being handsome,
but only to her most intimate friends
is given permission to see the process.
She considers the first necessity is

CARNATIONS which aid by active service
in the field is the American branch of
the International Red Cross league.
Miss Clara Barton, the Florence Night
ingale of America, is at the head of the
work, being president of the national
league. She but recently returned from
Cuba, where as the chief representative
of her society she superintendent the
distribution of food, clothing and med

reconcentrados and there, under the
protection of the American government,

ships, too, all are fitted out with Red
Cross nurses and fly the Red Cross flag.
Miss Barton's chief aid is the sister
in chief of the Red Cross corps of
nurses, Mrs. Bettina Hofker-Lesser.
Mrs. Lesser or Sister Bettina, as she
is lovingly called by her coworkers is
young woman and very lovely one.
OF medium height, slender, sweet of
face and gentle in tone and manner, she

Most Beautiful English Woman.

Dorothy Dene is said to be the most
beautiful woman in England. The late
Sir Frederic Leighton selected her as
the one woman in all Europe whose
face and figure most closely tallied-
with his ideal. She posed for a number
of his most famous paintings When
Sir Frederic, who was president OF the
Royal academy and ranked first among
English coorists, conceived the idea OF
his famous painting, "Cymon and Iphi-
senia," every quarter of the continent
was secured for a suitable model to pose
for the reclining figure so well known
to lovers of art Six months elapsed
before the artist met with any one suf-
tjciently beautiful to appeal to his fam
cy, and it was in London that he finally
found his ideal. The long sought for
model was discovered behind the foot
lights of a theater.
She was Miss Dorothy Dene, young
actress. Being told of Sir Frederc's
contemplated canvas and her fulillment
of the artists ideal for the central fig
ure, Miss Dene consented to pose. Eight
months later the most admired of Sir
Frederic's works was completed.
Nowhere at the present time can
more perfect type of Greek beauty be
found than Miss Dene. Each line OIL

With the absolute avalanche of color
that has overtaken us this spring there
followed as a natural course a some
thing that has been talked about and
against and INDUCED in from the very
beginning of the world. mean the use
of rouge and powder. With the curious
new blue grays, the brilliant shades of
orange that suggest nasturtiums and
all the trying violet colors it is difficult
to find natural complexion that will

bly, five or six of these colors gleefully
rampant on the fashionable chapeau.
Nobody knows when rouge was first
used. Certainly it was old when Cleo
patra chose little of it to add to her
beauty, while powder was in such or
binary use that the beautiful Laura put
little on her face because she blushed
too much when she met the gallant
poet who adored her. There is an old
story of the Mortified father who came
home and with great anger and much
ouickness said to his daughter, 81 have
heard that you use rouge" The daugh-
ter looked at him and answered, Eyes,

irate parent, Ego up stairs and wash it
off at once" She did SO, and in little
while there appeared a sallow, pallid,
dull faced girl. whose father gave one
look at her and then said, go up stairs
and put it on again.
Evidently she was not like the maid
ems who give a daub of red to one
cheek and a daub to the other and then
conclude that no one notices the added
color and believe that they understand
the art of make up. Any woman who
realizes that little pink or little
white or a little black or little brown

national guard have set to work to
make all sorts of needful things for the
soldiers, such as housewives, to con-
tain pins, needles, ETC., and little bags
of muslin in which to carry pepper,
salt and flour. Sewing circles to pre-
pare underclothing have been set to
work, and the New York women's aux
Hilary to the guard has even pledged
itself to take care of the families of
poor soldiers during their absence. Tiny
emergency medicine kits containing a
few simple remedies and bandages are
another suggestion for the comfort of
the soldier. Indeed the women of the
guard have gone to work in such a
patriotic and businesslilxe way that the
American who upholds the honor of
his country in the field promises to be
the best cared for fighter in the world.
Under Mrs. Jeanette Hardin Wal
worth, one of the officers of the Daugh-
tiers of the American Revolution, a
number of prominent women have or
ganized themselves into a sanitary COM
mittee, the object of which is to do
about the work accomplished by the
sanitary commission in the civil war.
One of the most encouraging features
of the present trouble with Spain has
been the loyalty with which all classes
of women have FASTENED to offer their
services in one way or another in aid
of the government. Miss Long, daugh-
ter of the secretary of the navy, is
one of the most eager volunteers. The
distinctions of class are forgotten in
the enthusiasm of patriotism. The
fashionable woman and the working
mans wife, the Vassar graduate and
the most humble scrubwoman, ignore
