WRITTEN FOR THE SUNDAY REPUelLc.
There is a pretty style Of girl called the
typical American girl.
She Is . new type" and she II ae dis
tinet IN her ways as she u In her lookA
She Is wonderfully graceful.
That goes without dwelling upon II, and
she s tall and slim. But tho traits do not
stamp her type. =
There are other characteristics which are
noticed about her. "
And these are that she shall have q wide,
smooth forehead. not too high, but perfectly
free from lines.
She must have cheeks that arc well nIled
out. even plump, and shaped % that they
make an outline that. while plump and full.
shall nevertheless be an oval.
Then. besides these, which would seem to
be enough for any girl, she must have a
rounded chin, with tip that Ii Just the
sweetest thing in the world.
Her neck Is full, too, for she Is pretty in
decollete. the American girl. but It is her
forehead. her chin and her cheeks that come
drSt among her delightful characteristica
The American girl. when you md her in
her perfect state, Is the prettiest girl In the
universe
She looks not fragile, but healthy, and the
air Of health Is not on the surface alone
but It Is found in the subsurfaoe, SO to
speak, ard It Will bubble UP In her abundant
life and spirfta
It Is claimed that every free-born Aneri-
can girl can make OF herself an American
type,
Its characteristics are 30 simple, 20 easily
acquired. SO manageable and pliable. as It
were. that any American girl with a fair
start, can turn herself into q type without
q great deal of trouble.
WHAT SHE MUST HAVE
TO do this she must make her forehead
smooth; she must make her cheeks fun and
plump; she must make her chin round.
After this come the sparkling4eyes, the
curved orows. the Cupid-bow mouth and the
other pretty points of woman's face.
But the first and main thing Is the fore
mead. for II this be lined or creased, or II
1t De furrowed in those queer hillQcks which
sometimes mar a woman.s face; or IL 1t be
spotted or freckled. or II It bs filled with
open pores or touched with cbiackheadS
un. indeed. u wotnsn's beauty spoiled
Yet the treating OF the forehead is the
most difficult OF all things Tho skin Is
thick upon the forehead. and II is tough.
It Is. also. In the majority OF cases. much
abused.
woman VIII take ca-s Of her chin ana
her cheeks, and will treat them scrupu-
lousy. while her poor forehead. half hidden
under its hot. padded poCpadour, viii gteatn
and grow yellow and dull, while the rest
of her face Is young.
The habit Of lifting the bcowu when one

browning.
The latter is one tina. many peop,. per-
form unconsciously. Often Q woman VIII

There are girls. and pretty girls, too,
Whose foreheads are pitted with pores and
