Is not neglectful Of a woman who looks the
ideal.
The making up OF the face fo- evening IS
not difficult. But IL must have bsen begun
long before. The skin must be in the right
condition. otherwise powder will show and
the attempt Will end In a rough failure.
Rough kin will not take the powder and
red. dry skin xiii show under all attempts

a certain woman I'm New York who IS
always written up as n society beauty Is
afflicted with a mouth that is too long. II
Is the one Flemish N her face. Not only
Is It very long. like a slit in a letter-box.
but II IS shapeless. It Is just one long. mar
row opening with thin. c~olOrlCss lips; and
with no attempt at beauty in the matter Of
curve or bow.
This woman seats herself before her mir
TOR every afternoon and. touching her third
finger in the powder box. she touches each
side OF her mouth. slightly whitening the
corners. This makes the mouth look small
er. II does not show. but Il shortens the
mouth a part % an inch. and just how I'm
poFtant this IS you can guess. This sight
touch Of powder makes the mouth look the
right size. and so thus easily one defect

MAKE THE LIPS PRETTY
There come little pots Of red salye for the
lips. i rouge il might be called, in creamy
form. that will make n rioe color for the
Cupid's bow. You can put it on the lips
without detection: and though 81 does not
last more than a few hours II is certainly
pretty FOR an evening. II you prefer you
can make your own preparation.
The use of powder is understood by most
women. Yet there are those who blunder
with 81. The French women use a bit Of
rouge on the tips OF the ears and in the
nostriis- They also rouge the palms OF their
hands But they put none on their cheeks.
American women can use their taste and
judgment in this matter, but II rouge is used

fully visible.
In putting powder on the face Il Is a good
thing 10 almost lay II on. II can then be
busted OF with the pun or with the pre-
pared pad.
An excellent powder pad IS made by tax
ing a bit OF absorbent cotton and forming
SC into a convenient little wad TO handle in
the, fingers The pad can be thrown away
when the powdering IS over.
And, by the way, It Is much more Clearly
and sanitary and much more beautiful TO
throw everything possible that appertains
TO the toilet away.
II the comb and brush could be renewed
daily Il would be a good thing. Certainly
there are many toilet accessories that are
no longer preserved. Absorbent cotton and
other inexpensive materials have rendered
