THE GROWING EVILS
or MIRROR GAZING

Modern by-paths OF beauty culture
are rapidly destroying the truth Of the
old saying that a mirror never fatters.
Whether this is because inventors
have acquired the art Of building mir
rors that gloss over defects and soften
blemishes. or because modern beauty
methods have brought around the con-
dition In which the best Of a woman-s
points are emphasized and her physical
deficiencies are spared. the fact remains
that the mirror is no longer a truth
teller. and The prinking or self-study
habit in the mirror IS one Of the dan
gers which the coming girl faces both
literally and fguratiyely.
She il acquiring the mirror habit for

4 have found with the models this
season that the slight, small woman
should wear. as a rule. a high bust cor

average well developed one needs the

shaped hips she should have the long.
close-fitting kind. With both these pat
terms the waists are long and slender.
and the whole effect IS rounded and
pleasant TO look upon.
4 suppose this style is the outcome of
