OF ARTIFICIAL BUSHES,
How Paris Women Arrange Their Days
Complexion.

. Complexion.
They know how to do many things
well in Paris.
"If women will insist on making up,
why don't they take the pains to do it
artistically?' demanded the woman
just back from France. Really the
most noticeable feature about the wom-
en- one sees in America after a trip
abroad is the careless way they daub
their faces with paint and powder
Now, the Partisan woman learns the
art, and applies it at such"
do tell us about it," said, one
of her friends.
In the first place. replied the trav-
eler, "a woman who knows how the
thing is done gets the proper colors
She never buys for day use a paint with
purple tinge. If she is brunette she
gets powder and rouge for brunettes,
while if she is a blonde she buys blonde
materials. These come both for day
and evening use, and of course, she
must put them on in the light in which
she is to appear. The first thing she
does after getting the proper materials
is to wash her face with a tiny bit of
soap on the cloth, then rinse in clear
water and dry with a soft towel If
it is to be a day appearance, let her
go to the brightest window in the room
and, with the assistance of her hand
mirror, apply her makeup. The rouge
for day use is a liquid and should be
applied with a bit of soft rag. All that
is required is little dab on the upper
part of the cheeks, which is promptly
rubbed down and blended with the fing-
ers. Then several little dabs are Civ
en- on the lower part of the cheek, on
the jaWbone, that must be rubbed up
and under. Never color the little spot
Immediately in front of the ear or the
center of the cheek, for nature never
does. The next step is to fix the lips,
and the color for them is always differ
ent from that used on the cheeks and is
always a liquid. This should be put on
very carefully and so as to appear dark
err on the inner edge Now comes the
powder, which should be put on the
forehead and rubbed off until there is
none to be seen. Then the slightest sus-
picion is rubbed on the nose and around
the mouth and as promptly rubbed off,
as the object is only to take off the
/ shine.
After this you go to the brows and
! eye-lashes and, whatever else you do,
don't use pencil for the daytime. You
can buy little box with cunning lit
tie mirror in the top and cunning
little brush and a bar of what appears
to be India ink in the bottom. That
is the one and only thing used by the
French woman. The brush is moisten-
ed, rubbed on the India k-looking
stuff and then applied to the brow and
lashes, but it must be put on the hair
| and not on the skin.
THAT Is the way the French woman
gets herself up for her appearance dur
| ing the day or when she is to appear
under the electric light. And she gen.
orally is clever enough to wear a hat
which shades her face just a bit al
least OF course, men can only surmse
they can never say positively that she
paints. She keeps them guessing and
they like that"
But how about the makeup for even
ing wear?" asked her two friends as
she stopped speaking and applied her.

oh well. almost any of these women
we see about us would pass muster ii
gas or candle light. That is one reason

They made up in a dark room with the

now, all of them looking at the make

knowing just how the thing is proper

when it comes to electric lights there
must be no careless work. If you do i
