Again the Thing.
Slowly but surely fashion Is tending
I toward a revival of bewitehing eigh-
teenth century artificialities. Already
rouge and powder are no disgrace-un-
less they are too patiently rouge and
powder; heels have grown high and
| foolish once more, and the scattered
velvet dots of the new mask wells las
nearly initiate the beauty patch" of
departed days as the limitations Of
wells will allow.
The Illusion is dispelled, however, by
the wicked fashion in which the mod
ern patch dlsports itself. AS in We
olden time, the beauty spot is called
mouche fly, literally for mouche
wells Is the title of the voilettes, and
the really correct caper is to have only
one on the veil, which according to all
tradition must rest as near a dlmpled
chin as possible. The trouble with the
mouche wells is that there are too
many mouches to dispose harmonious
ly over n single countenance. So 1t
comes about that one sees strange
sights sometimes-noses, ears and
chins blotched in way that suggests
retirement from the public gaze.
Among the seasons frivolities some
tiny fans of the Vatican genre seem
to emphasize the possibility of the his
toric revival the brocades, enameled
buttons and other rich trifles are al
ready suggesting. Across the white or
tinted satin of these fans gallant lords
and fair ladies play A. shepherd and
shepherdess, holding very white sheep
in rlbboned leash, and dancing the
minuet between times. At the outer
sticks is the most enchanting detail
of ala tiny oval mirror framed
miniature fashion, with enameled
waved ribbon. This ties at ne top
in true lovers knot. and tie cost
of the trihe, which comes unLer the
Louis XVI. head, may be had any
where from $40 to $40. They Lay be
dangerous instruments of coqu Try in
the hands of the right woman. But
as yet only expensive jewell IS are
showing them.
The fine laces which display N set
pieces for special use wreatls and
miniature frames inclosing a mono
gram or crest are another garnering
from the past. Some of the imported
thin frocks show the most extrava-
CANT designs in these rich insects, one
In white running to groups of black
swallows. In great medallions, too
there will be stiff bouquets, vases with
flowers and the prim boxed tree seen
in all the gardens of Paris
But to return to rouge and powder,
remember that to be found out Is the
real wickedness of cosmetics. The
modern blush is a thing of art 1t is
chiefly induced through the medium of
grease paint, which is more satisfac-
tory and less harmful than dry rouge,
and after it is applied-uslng the fin
gers always for this purpose-it is
worked into the cuticle until all out
line Is lost. A suggestion of red over
the eyelids on the bottom of the chin
and ear lobes also adds to natural
ness. For darkening the eyes, brown,
blue or black cosmetic pencils are
used, the shadow also being carefully
modelled with the fingers into the
pores. Last, but not least, avoid an
adhesive powder, the sort that will
stick whatever comes and never at any
time makes the face look human. Be
sides the sloven look these give, the
sticking quality is declared to be in
furious, and If madam wants really to
look dainty in her makeup a dust of
some harmless baby powder is all that
Is necessary.-Washing Star.
