as the saying is. If you are going to
be a dashing wilful beauty, you must
have the hair for it, or the whole
scheme falls to the ground. Eyebrows
and eyelashes, the professor assumes,
the lady would like to match the hair.
Too much eccentricity the professor
does not agree with. Nature, after all,
is the best guide: neatness com bined
with taste, that is the ideal to be
aimed at. The eyebrows are being
worn almost straight. The eyelashes
long and silky, the professors suggests
AS usual. with just the suspicion OF
a curl. The professor would also Sug-
gest a little less cheekbone. Cheek
bones are being worn low this season.
VIII the lady have a dlmpled chin, or
does she fancy the clean, square-cut
jaw Maybe the square-cut jaw and
the firm, sweet mouth is more suitab
enough with the baby and the tea-urn,
and the strong proud man in the back
ground. But for the unmarried girl,
the dimpled chin and the rosebud
mouth are. perhaps. on the whole
safer. Some gentlemen are nervous
of the firm square jaw For the pres
enr, at all events, let US keep to the
rosebud and the dimple. Complexioni
Well, there is only one complexion
worth considering-a creamy white
relieved by delicate peach pink. It
goes with everything and is always eff
fective. Rich olives, striking pallors-
yes, you hear of these things doing
we'll. The professors experience, how
ever, is that for all-round work you
will never improve upon the plain
white and pink. It is less liable to get
out of order, and is easiest at all times
to renew. For the figure. the profess
scr recommends something 1.-the and
supple. Five foot four is q good
height but that Is q point that should
be be discussed first with the dress
maker. For trains five foot six is per
haps prefera BILE. But for the sporting
girl who has to wear short frocks five
foot six would of course be impOssi-
BILE. The bust and the waist are also
points on which the dressmaker
should be consulted. Nothing should
be done in a hurry. What is the fash
ion going to be for the next two or
three seasons? There are styles de-
handing that, beginning at the neck,
you should come straight out, like a
pouter pigeon. There is apparently no
difficulty whatever in obtaining this
result. But if crinOlines, for instance,
are likely to come in again-Weu. the
| lady has only to imagine it for herself:
the effect might be grotesque, sugges-
/ tive of a walking hour glass. So, too.
with the waist For some fashions. it
! is better to have it just a foot below
the neck. At other times 1t is more
useful lower down. The lady will

1t is all so simple, and when you
