Dissipated Two ways OF Using

Kate Carew. in the following article
in the New York World. discusses the
articles employed BY society women
TO enhance their beauty, as seen at this
years horse show in Madison Square
Garden:
Has madam an interesting pallorf
Then hasten, o madam, to change it
for a roseate flush!
For your interesting pallor is no Ion
ger in fashion. 1t is out Of style, it is
obsolete; it is down and OUT as the
pugilistic gentlemen say In word.
1t is as dead as last years horse show.
The horse show Of 1908 has lighted
a flame in the cheeks and the lips Of
women, and that fame is fashions
latest word to the woman Of New York
"a flame for each cheek and a brighter
fame for the chin.
Not within the memory Of this gener-
alton perhaps not since the days Of
wigs and patches-have women of ire
proachable character permitted them
selves to dip 50 deeply, with quite 50
obvious effect, into the pigments Of
commerce q had almost written "quite
50 unblushingly," but that wouldn't be
quite accurate, you know.
Then, it's hey for the complexion art
list and the beauty DOCTOR" and the
young man Of 1903 can sing, my love

than ever it was sung before, for King
Cosmetic has come by his own.
And that's the horse shows message
to the sex, mesdames. There are other
messages, other clarion blasts for an
oyer-bedizenment of person which
marks the highest food in the tide Of
public ostentation, but the compilations
are what strike one first
To borrow phrase from the vernac.
ular, they have last years compilations
faded"
The beauty of the horse show in
these social developments is that II
presents the evidence for all it is worth.

familiar faces In the familiar boxes,
and when it Is seen that beauty's face
has taken on deeper carmine all
around the great glittering ring there's
no getting away from the fact that
fashion has spoken.
There are two ways Of using cosmet-
les. You stain and polish piece OF
