A FASHIONABLE FACE.

Is t.-.. '- -
She Is a very fortunate girl nowadays
who has the fashionable face. To be
sure. she Is not necessarily beautiful.
but she is distinguished by the fact
that she Is fashionable. Then. too, she
has a certain nobility Of feature which
Is pleasing and an honesty of express
sion which is the mark of character.
She has a good strong face, typical
American face, a face full Of express
sion and intelligence.
1t has been a great many years since
there has prevailed so marked a type
of fashionable feature. Indeed, 1t is
doubtful whether there has ever been
a single type which has been recognized
so prevalently in this country as fash
ionable. All society girls nowadays
have the same general cast of feature,
which is aided by the same methods
of doing the hair and the same poise
of the body, the same walk. the same
smile, to make a young woman who is
fashionable and who at the same time
Is decidedly American.
OF course she is an athletic girl. be-
cause society folk of today are giving
their most constant attention to ath-
letics-out-door games and exercises
Golf has given every man and woman
who has played it and many people
who have not that loose awkward walk
which is now SO generally approved.
IL has given. too. the heavy-soled
shoes which are being worn both for
street and evening wear; it has given
the loose gloves which are now seen
everywhere: il has given the straight
hair which every woman must wear
There was time, when golf first came
to the place of honor on the calendar,
that curled hair was permissible, even
fashionable. Then came the golf and
the outdoor tramping with the wind to
blow the curl out of some peoples hair
no matter how many times a day 1t
was put in. The swinging gait Is a ne
cesslty or golf, IL one is to play an in
teresting game, and the swinging arms
are necessity as wen-not of the
game perhaps, but at least of the play
er. The golfer always carries one club
In his hand, balanced with the head
forward, and as ne walks he uncon-
sciously swings 1t from side to side
both OF his arms swinging with 1t. In
the forgetful interest of the game he
is apt to bend his body slightly for
ward an he walks thus increasing the
facility with which he swings his arms
The shoulders are kept square and
straight, the body bending from the
hips.
POISE is ASSUMED BY EVERYONE
