such trimmings If used freely as Is the
usual manner, have the effect of cutting
the height up into section and SO making
a woman seem shorter than she really is.
The consequence is that if the woman of
moderate height and fair proportions is to
escape appearing as positively dumpy, she
must avoid the trimmings that seem to
divide her off into several portions. Instead
of the straight round-and-round trimmings.
she may select those that encircle her in
waves or scallops, and instead of unbroken
lines in the simpler band trimmings,
she may have every ornamental line inter-
rupted here and there by some elaboration
of the trimming. This last need not be
at all complex to accomplish the desired

aim to secure length. Let there be no breaks

seem to exist for relief" Don't relieve,
but rejoice in every up-and-down line, no
matter how indistinct. If only there is con-
siderable length to it.
The one essential in new dress fabrics is
softness. a texture for which lace is
pecially effective trimming, and the conse-
quence is that the coming season is TO be
valued very highly. All kinds of lace seem
to be acceptable. though the coarser thread
ed ones are in a minority. Those of fine
thread. however, are made in bold designs
and often are combined with embroideries.
Dyed laces retain their vogue. and seem
likely to be used more than they were the
past season. Threads of gilt or of color run
ming through the lace are an especially
stylish touch. Bright colorings will appear
in the embroideries, passementeries and
braids, and from some of the Eastern color
ings in such trimmings the women who de-
light in rather bold hues should be able to
make satisfying choice. Fringe, both the
silk and the chenille will continue in favor

founces of skirts and as drapery for bod

the shopper, and the number of them that
include touches of either gold or silver, or
of both, is impressive. More than a touch
is seen in many, too. especially as to the
gold. Many brads entirely of it.
The softness and lightness of the new
dress materials are splendidy adapted to
ruchings and puffings, and such treatment
will be extremely free on stylish dresses.

Care of the Complexion.

Grace Peckham Murray, NJ. D., in De-
lineator.
"Indiscriminate massaging and steaming
the face have somewhat gone out of fash
ion, but there are many instances where
facial massage is of the greatest benefit.
If the complexion is muddy, inclined to
pimples. blackheads and other facial blem-
ishes and the cheeks are without good
healthy color it is well to use complexion
brush or facial massage to bring the blood
to the surface. The light massage de-
scribed in the last paper and used while
washing the face does not have very much
effect on the muscular structure underlying
the skin, but is designed for the skin alone.
ITO massage the forehead, the fingers
of the right hand should be placed upon
to hold the skin in place, while the first
finger of the left hand goes slowly and
thoroughly with a circular motion over
the surface, pressing at the same time
deep enough to move the muscles upon
the bones underneath. The next move
ment is TO smooth with considerable
using the first and second fingers of both
hands, and in the same manner pass
around the sockets of the eyes, always
using the rotary movements.
"One of the most useful movements for
giving tone to the cheeks is that of
gently pinching them with the thumb and
forefinger, taking a deep pinch to
have the muscles and underlying structures
receive the benefit. Then place the palms
of the hands upon the face with the fin
gers upward and bring them gently down
until the fingers reach the chin; after
which. by means of the fingers pressed
deeply into the flesh. push the whole mass
of the check on each side firmly upward.
This counteracts the sagging of the face
which i'm time takes place with almost
everybody. The chin is next managed by
means of the thumbs. the palms of the
hands being placed upward with the fin
gers at the back of the neck. With deep
circular motion, the same as employed with
the fingers in massaging the forehead, the
thumbs gradually pass backward over the
whole of the chin, while the first and
second fingers of each hand with the same
circular motion work among the muscles
at the base of the skull and the upper
bones of the spinal column.
Most beneficial in the matter of giving
tone to the chin and in reducing the ugly
rolls of fat which have a tendency to ac-
cumulate, and which the tight stocks and
collars of the present day eXaggerate are
the following exercises. First throw the
head back with sufficient fore to pull all

the lower jaw far possible and bring
