VIOLET TINTED BEAUTIES
London Women Veneer Their Faces to
Make Them Look
Yn1nnnr.

Make Them Look
Younger.
American beauty is surveying a prob
lem. If some bold, courageous soul who
lives for the artistic alone will please step
forward and solve it a sigh Of relief will
arise from many fashionable quarters.
The problem is this:
faces violet?"
1t is not a question Of dabbing the
cheeks with rouge or painting a little
youth in a face which has become middle
aged. 1t is not a question of doing a little
repairing SO delicately and gently that it
may appear as the real bloom. This is a
question Of making a bold acknowledg-
ment that the face has been treated with a
remarkable violet color
OF course, If no one in high quarters
stood sponsor fer the violet veneer there
would be no problem. But that is just
the trouble. ~ In Paris and London it's
the thing, and even if you say it's absurd
what are you going to do about it when it
comes direct from the fountain head OF
fashion?
The Duchess Of Marlborough is respon-
sible for the problem. For the duchess
paints her face and It is not the delicate
secretive dabs which have been referred
to. What the duchess carries instead OF
her natural complexion, and that is said tc
be a good one, is a veneer of violet tint.
There is this about it to recommend it
You cannot tell a mother of 45 from lel
daughter Of 90. Since the duchess came
back with her violet tinted beauty the
fashionable women of the country have
| been asking each other:
do you really think you have the cour-
age?'
And as yet no one has.
| One OF the first exclama lions of an Amer
| lean visiting London and seeing the
women of fashion there is: why, they al
! use cosmetics
| So they do, violet tinted. Queen Alex.
andra sets the fashion. TO see her one
would think her woman of IS. And SHIT
| is a grandmother. Mrs. Cornwaliis-Wes
uses The violet veneer and looks like {
| young woman. The mothers cannot b
distinguished from their daughters If thu
observer be a few feet way.
| Americans are inclined to wonder if th1!
violet tint be the famous English com
! plexion which has been asserted the mos
beautiful in the world. If 50, it is posi-
Bile for women of all nat1onalities to pre-
| sent the same appearance. It Is only {
question Of a little coat Of violet paint.
London is given credit for having origi
mated the new paint. Paris took TIN
fashion readily and Berlin is beginning t.
show violet tinted faces on the boulevards

EHNRSDAY MUSICALE SUCCESS

4 Gocital of marked interest was that
given at the Unitarian church last eve
ming by Lewis Shave Of st. Paul, barry
tone, and Emil Oberhoffer, pianist, un-
der the auspices Of the Ladies' Thursday
Musicale. The pretty auditorium was
entirely filled. members Of the musicale
acting as ushers.
The program was divided into two
parts, Mr.. Shave singing two groups of
songs, one of which served to introduce
three songs by Richard Strauss, who
wrote the musical setting to Tennyson' S
'Enoch Arden The rendition Of this
poem and its accompanying music, which
was the feature Of the evening, occupied
the entire second part Of the program.
or the songs, ~Haldn's Esprit Song and
Lambert's "A Barque at Midnight" won
deserved recognition from the audience.
the latter being encored. The Strauss
songs, written in the best vein of the
lighter ballad, We're charming and well
sung, Mr.. Shave singing "'Tis a Dream
as a second encore.
In ''Enoch Arden" however, Mr. Shave
appeared as a reader, and it is no dis
paragement to his art as a singer to say
| that as a reader he achieved even greater
success. 1t would be difficult to conceive
better Interpretation of the various emo
tons portrayed in this saddest of poems.
Long training has given Mr.. Shave ex-
cellent control of vocal usage in all its
forms. His voice possesses marked SYM
| pathetic timbre and he has a fine intelli-
gence that enables him to interpret in
such way as to appeal strongly and
effectively to the feelings Of his audit
| ors -.
The accompaniment to ''Enoch Arden
opens with a. motif for the right hand
and long rolling scale for the left, en-
bodying the composers Interpretation of
| the rugged sea coast and the incessant
roll of the waves. Each actor is char
acterized in the tone-poem by a leading
motif, constantly varied but ever insist
ent under the changing conditions Of the
drama. The composer has wisely left
large portions of the poem unaccompa-
MED, where narration and description can
not be made more effective by the mu-
sic. Where, however, the dramatic effect
can be heightened. he has woven melo-
dies and harmonies that speak to the I'm
agination and stir the soul to it's depths
One Of the most impassioned of these
places is just at the close where Enoch
Arden, in the delirium of death, imagines
himself again on the desert island, and
cries. "A sail! A sail!''
Mr.. Oberhoffer's participation in the re-
cital was coeQual with Mr. Shawe's and
deserves great praise. He is, however
subject to the criticism of at times fail
ing to subordinate the music to the story
for after all, the music is but an accom-
paniment, regardless of it's prominence
in the entire representation. The mu.
sicale is to be ngratulated on the sue.
cess Of it's evening and the opportunity
afforded to hear this interesting poem anc
it's accompanying music under such happy
auspices -Boardman.

KINGS HEALTH Is GOOD.
Goes Carefully Over Documents in
 His Mothers Methodica, Style.

New York, Jan S.-The kings health is all that can be desired, if the court officials speak without reserve, cables the London correspondent of the Trib- une. He refers constantly to the sup- ject himself and seems bent upon pre- venting a revival of the sinister ru- mors which cost the tradesmen heavily when they were insuring the corona ton stocks. What was once known as s.the Prince of Wales's set'' has been restored to favor, if it were ever in danger of being excluded from the court. and the question welcomes at Sandringham all the kings old-time friends. The king is described as fol lowing closely his mothers manner in dealing with public business. He makes it a matter Of conscience to read every document carefully and to ask information if he does not fully under stand it. He takes every detail of the business of reigning as seriously and methodically as she was in the habit of doing, and uses many of her char acteristic expressions.
