his little pots of coloring matter he deft-
iy touches up the face, giving the skin
tint so. like that of flesh and blooming
nature that the trick is never discovered.
He is an artist in rouge, because he goes
to nature for his ideas. Besides, he is
man of genius in his particular line.
A correspondent who interviewed him,
says that he hit upon the discovery that
nature the divine artist, rarely colors
two persons alike and that the true pink
glowing in the cheeks OF a blonde or dark
person is not at all the same that glows
In the cheeks of that persons own sister,
no matter how much alike their complex
ions may be. So in that little shop you
sit before mirror and the patient crafts
man selects, after repeated trials, the
color that harmonizes exactly with your
particular quality of skin, CLINT of hair
and tone of eyes.
There are exactly sixty-five pinks to
choose from, and when you leave the shop
you wear blush as faint or deep as your
type of looks require and one so exactly
narmonizing that it absolutely resembles
what you would have il nature undertook
to do the coloring herself 1t is the match

you lecture on the rational use of rouge
She explains to thoroughly deceive the
eye 1t is not merely sufficient to tint the
eheeks, because when by natural circula-
ton OF rich blood the cheeks glow, the
chin ever SO lightly gets a bit of the rosy

touching up your face there is no suspi-

The Partisan authority on rouge
and its uses cautions his Gus
toners that they must carry
powder puff in their muff or pocket and
use 1t freely. In Paris they make these
euffs of pale pink down. fastened in the
centre of a dear little pale pink silk hand
kerehief. By means of draw string the
middle of the handkerchief gathers about
the puff and no scattering of rice powder
comes of wearing the pretty thing in the
pocket. Every woman who realizes how
unbeautifui is the look of a shiny nose or
greasy forehead welcomes this little toilet
companion. The use of rouge is advo-
eated by many women merely for the
brllliancy it lends the eyes. but American
bellies DO not trust to rouge alone to do
this. They have learned TO wash their
eyes as carefully and regularly as lneir
faces. Especially in the blustery weather,
when eyes net overstrong grow bloodshot
and weak from facing a cruel wind notn-
ing is so soothing as to wash the eye
balls
An eyeglass is used for this filed with
warm water, tepid tea or a solution of
boric acid. and when the glass is filed
and upturned on the eyes all the dust
collected on the lashes and in the corners
any bits of SCOT or sand grating on the
sensitive nerves, are expelled and infiam-
nation reduced. Besides this benefit,
daily washing of the eyes makes them
more permanently bright and liquid than
any other device vet attempted. Oil of
cagepur is the newest remedy for induc-
ing eyebrows and eyelashes to grow just

necks and scrawny forearms have taken

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 decoIlete gowns and who
have found 1t very much more difficult to
produce flesh than their fat sisters find
1t to lose adipose tissue. The real milk
diet is of more value than many COM
piexion washes. The woman who is de-
termined not to be fat makes her break
fast and luncheon of milk and fruit, while
for dinner she may have lean roast meat
ard fresh green vegetables. A pint of
milk is the limit where loss of flesh is an
object; one glass with fruit for breakfast
and the same amount for luncheon may
be regarded as rigorous treatment The
meat for dinner is limited to a quarter of
a pound Milk and meat should never be
taken at the same meal. When there is a
tendency towards gout the ideal diet is
crackers and milk. Heavy vegetables,
like beans and peas, should be avoided
by the gouty, but if you feel they cannot
be sacrificed then they should take the
place of meat.
Where the diet is adopted because of
general debility or nervous breakdown
and gain of flesh is desirable, cream is
recommended in liberal quantities. Sweet
butter is also most valuable for this pur-
pose. Three glasses of milk, with fruit, is

Coats are worn as ornaments in these
expensive and sophisticated days. The
tribe of spring coates and coatlets are
wrought of goods that are beautiful but
conlfortless in cold Winds and the shapes
of the little garments render them as
useless as protection against stern
weather as a chiffon parasol in snow
time. Nevertheless, they are becoming,
decorative and popular to a degree, and
like cheerful migrating birds, the taffeta
coatees have come back to their accus-
toned haunts. and admirers. Last spring
