YOU ARE NOT PRETTY
UNLESS FACE is PLUMP
Chicago Tribune.)

lace Is IdI--aL least pump.
So it is decreed by the women-who
decide what beauty is-and the women
of the courts of Europe and of Ameri-
can society are seeking plumpness and
dimples.
Massaging and oiling, Pumping and
dimpling are occupying almost as much
time as housekeeping, clubs, and So
ciety. The thin faced woman is no
longer the favorite-and curves in the
face, soft contours, are more desired
and harder to produce, than the curves
Of the figure.
The edict has gone forth that society
| women must be plump. 1t has issued
from the mouths of those who. must be
| obeyed, and. all society is rushing of
not to the anti-fat cures but to the
anti-leans.
The king of England admires plump
women; all the pretty, titled Ameri-
cans-who undoubtedly lead the Lon
don styles-are plump. The queen her
self is fat in the face and the belle of
Newport is one of the plump ones. So
what is there to do but to get plump.
The duchess of Marlborough is the
most conspicuous example of a plump
faced woman in society. She is tall
and slim and tips the scales at 1885, She
is slender in the waist line, so that her
famous diamond belt measures only
twenty-five inches. She is slender in
the throat and her dog collar is, just
twelve and Va half inches. Yet her
cheeks are fat and her chest is full.
Her arms are plump and her hands
Fare almost pudgy in their pretty dim
pied fairness. They are like little pink
rolls of butter. There is a dimDle in
every knuckle and her thumb is little
and pink.
Four Ways to Get Plump Face.
What does the duchess do to keep
her face fat is often asked. And there
are various replies. A maid who once
worked for her, and who left to set up
beauty establishment, and who now
has some of the best society people in
London, says there are four ways by
which London society women make the
cheeks plump without Pumping the
figure.
The first method of face Pumping is
by wearing bumpers in the face. This
is Objectionable and is only done when
the face is thin and the cheeks hollow.
The bumpers which are made of wads
of cotton shaped to fit the cheeks, are
renewed twice a day. They give the
almost babyish contour of cheek which
is so much admired this season.
The second method of Pumping the
cheeks is by massage The cheeks are
pinched and pinched. not roughly, for
this takes off the fat, but lightly and
with the finger tips. This is the Japan
csc method. It is the method by which
the fat faced japanese women keep the
cheeks round and pretty. No matter
how old Japanese woman may be, she
has plump, pretty cheeks. She keeps
them so by gently pinching them every
morning. Never does she pinch them
heavily, for this takes off the fat, but
she gently pats and taps them until the
flesh is stimulated.
The third method of Pumping out the
cheeks is by the oil massage. This is
one of the best known means. Oil is
poured into the hand and is spatted
into the skin. which is first prepared
for it. The skin is heated and the oil
IS -massaged into the pores. This never
fails to fatten the face, but it is a little
trying. 1t takes so much time and so
much patience.
How to Rub in Skin Food.
There is another method of fattening,
and that is kneading cold cream into
the face. The skin is heated hot with
hot cloths. Then, while it is hot and
pink, the cold cream is rubbed in. This
method is open to the objection of
face. But if a raw cucumber is rubbed
in directly afterwards, this is all
neutralized. The acid of the cucumber
viii kill the cold cream as far as the
growth Of superfiuons hair is con-
cerned.
The easiest of all the methods is that
of rubbing cold cream in at night, and
it is the one that is surest 1t is posi-
tive that this will round out the cheeks
in a short time and plump out the arms.
To make the arms round and full,
wash them in hot water. Then, while
the skin is warm, take the oil bottle
in hand and give the skin a generous
bath with it. Massage it well with the
palm of the hand, giving it gentle
strokes to rub the oils in. This will
act as a ready plumper for the skin.
Pour on the oil and rub it in. This
is about the only rule to be remem-
berad.
In India, where Lady Curzon holds
court, it is noticed that all the beauties
have full faces. No matter how thin
they are when they depart for India
they are certain to come home plump
as to cheeks and pink and pretty. Last
season a dozen London beauties went
out to India, most of them thin faced
from the requirements of the season.
When they returned they were plump
as pigeons.
