NO GooDIEXcUsE FOR UGLY GIRLS

| Society has quietly accepted the fact
of late that rouge is de riSeur. The tint
| is laid on so delicately. so artfully, so
plausibly, that it requires not only
| lynx eye to detect it, but long ac-
quaintance with a woman to make sure
she does not resort to this artifice. Her
cheeks are never vulgarly red, but a
faint, sweet bloom appears on either
side and seems to come from beneath,
to grow down into the chin and show
ever so family along the rim of the
pretty ears.
| This is all due to the fact that grease
| paint is not used at all; it is too loud
! in tone and coarsening to the skin to be
| tolerated: furthermore, clever woman
never looks upon the rouge pot when
! it is red until she has made visit to a
| certain dealer in toilet articles in Paris.
At this small shop, a sort of Louis XIV
boudoir, you buy a pot of coloring mat
| ter on disc of porcelain, and a small
| tool covered with white cotton. The
pot of coloring matter does not cost
| very much, but what does come high is
the preliminary business of having a
tint of pink matched to your skin.
THE DIVINE ARTIST.
| 1t was the owner of this shop who
made the great discovery that nature,
the divine artist, rarely colors two per-
sons alike, and that the true pink glow
| ing in the cheeks of one blonde or dark
person is not at all the same that glows
! in the cheeks of that persons own sis
| ter, perhaps So in that little shop you
sit before mirror and a. patient artist
selects, after repeated trials, the color
| that harmonizeS exactly with your per-
ticular quality of skin, CLINT of hair and
tone of eyes. There are exactly sixty
( five pinks to choose from, and wnen you
leave tine shop you wear blush as
! faint or deep as your type of looks re-
quire, and one so exactly harmonizing
that it absolutely resembles what you
would have if nature undertook to do
the coloring herself.
It is the matching that costs, and
| then the shop woman gives you lee
ture on the rational use of rouge She
explains that, to thoroughly deceive the
eye it is not sufficient merely to tint
( the cheeks, because when by natural
circulation of rich blood the. cheeks
glow, the chin ever so lightly gets a
/ bit of the rosy fluid as we'll, so do the
ears on the rim, and when you have
| taken one lesson in touching up your
face there is no suspicion of vulgar,
sticky paint or artificiality about it.
NEW BEAUTY DEVICES.
/ All this New York women have
/ learned in Paris, just as the Parisienne
/ has impressed on them the Importance
/ of carrying a powder-puff in their muff
or pocket and using it freely. In Paris
/ they make these puffs of pale pink
! down, fastened in the center of a dear
! little pale pink silk handkerchief. By
means of a drawstring the middle of
I the handkerchief gathers about the
! puff, and no scattering of rice powder
comes of wearing the pretty thing in
your pocket. Every woman who real
/ ICES how unbeautiful is the look of a
shiny nose, or greasy forehead, carries
one of these.
The use of rouge is advocated by
many women merely for the brilliancy
it lends the eyes, but New York bellies
/ do not trust to rouge alone to do this.
| They have learned to wash their ewes
as carefully and regularly as their
faces Especially in the cold weather,
when eyes not over-strong grow blood
( shot and weak from facing a cruel
wind, nothing is so soothing and tonic
as to wash the balls An eye-glass is
used for this, filed with warm water.
/ tepid tea, or q solution of boric acid,
and, when the glass is filed and up
/ turned on the eyes, all the dust collect
ed on lashes and in corners, any bits
of SCOT or sand grating on the sensitive
! corners, are expelled ana lllldHnlild-
ton reduced. Beside this benefit. a
daily washing of the eyes makes them
more permanently bright and liquid
than any other device yet attempted.
Oil of cageput is the newest remedy
for inducing eyebrows and eyelashes
to grow, just as all the thin girls with
holIows in their necks and scrawny
forearms have taken to tipDling on
milk and glycerine. 1t is a simple rem
edy and harmless enough, even if it
fails to lay flesh on Uncovered bones,
and it has the advantage of not coars-
ing the skin, as drinking porter is ac-
! cused OF doing. Two teasDOOnfuls of
the best glycerine in a glass of blood
warm milk, taken after every meal and
at bedtime, is the rule with the smart
young women who dare not wear decol-
lette gowns, and who have found it very
much more difficult TO procure flesh
than their fat sisters find it to lose adj
pose tissue.
