POWDER AND PATCHES.
Early Eighteenth Century ArtiGcialiies
\ Again tho Thing.

Again the Thing.
ASlowly but surely fashion is tending
Toward revival of bewitching eigh-
feenth 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 ''as
nearly initiate the beauty patch" of
departed days as the limitations Of
< wells will allow.
sThe illusion is dispelled, however, by
the wicked fashion in which the mod
ern patch disports itself. AS In ye
olden time, the beauty spot is called
IA 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 q dimpled
chin as possible. The trouble with the
mouche wells is that there are too
many mouches to dispose harmonious
ay over a single countenance. SO it
comes about that one sees strange
sights sometimes-noses, ears and
chins blotched in way that suggests
retirement from the public gaze.
EAmong the seasons frfvolities some
tiny fans of the Vatican genre seem
to emphasize the possibility Of the his
A., toric revival the brocades, enameled
buttons and other rich trihes are al
ready suggesting. Across the white or
- tinted satin Of these fans gallant lords
and fair ladies play at shepherd and
shepherdess, holding very white sheep
in ribboned 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
wreaths or gold rim to initiate a
waved ribbon. This ties at the top
i'm a true lovers knot, and the cost
of the trihe, which comes under the
Louis NV1. head, may be had any
where from $40 to $40. They may be
dangerous instruments of coquetry in
the hands of the right woman. But
as yet only expensive jewelers. are
Showing them.
4 The fine laces which display in set
pieces for special use wreaths 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-
giant 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 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-using 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 dust of
some harmless baby powder is all that
is necessary.-Washington Star.
