Beauty Thu > Bought
y the Bottle

Copyright. 1906. by Jerome X. Jerome)
- RETTY women are going to have a
hard time .. it later on. 1t will
serve them r.sht. Hitherto in the
Il worlds histu.y they had things
far too mucn their own way. In
the future there are going to be no pretty
girls, for the simple reason that there VIII
be no plain girls against which to contrast
Them OF late l have done some systematic
reading of ladies' papers. The plain girl
submits to a course Of treatment" In
e. eighteen months she bursts upon society an
acknowledged beauty. And IL is all done by
kindness. One girl writes, "Only a little
while ago j used to look at myself in the
glass and cry; now ] look at myself and
laugh" The letter is accompanied by two
photographs Of the young lady. 1 should
have cried myself had / seen her as she
was at first She was a stumpy, flat-head-
ed, squat-nosed cross eyed thing. She did
not even look good. One virtue she APP
peared TO have had however 1t was faith.
She believed what the label sad and she
did exactly what the label told her She Is
now a tall raviShing young person, her
only trouble being. l should say. to know
what to do with her hair; 1t reaches to her
knees and must be nuisance to her. She
would do better to give some of 1t away.
Taking this young lady text, 1t means
that the girl who declines to be dream of
loneliness does so out of obstinacy. What
the raw material may be does not appear
to matter. Provided feature Is abso-
lutely missing, the result is one and the
same. Arrived at years of discretion, the
maiden proceeds to choose the style OF
beauty she prefers. VIII she be Juno, a
Venus or Helen? viii she have a Gre
clan nose or one tip tilted like the petal of
n rose? Let her try the tip-tited style
first. The professor has idea it is 60
ing to be fashionable. If afterward she
does not like it then will be time to try
the Cirecian-
1t is difficult to decide these points with
out experiment. Would the lady like a high
forehead or a low forehead? Some ladies
like to look intelligent. 1t is purely a mat
ter Of taste. With the Grecian nose the
low, broad forehead perhaps goes better.
other hand, the high. bra ny forehead would
be more original. IL is for the lady herself
TO select. We come to the question of eyes.
The lady fancies delicate blue, not too
pronounced a color. one of those useful
shades that go with almost anything. At
the same lime there should be depth and
passion. The professor understands exactly
the sort of eye the lady means. But it will
be expensive. There is a cheap quality, but
the professor does not recommend 1t. True
that il passes muster by gaslight, but the
sunlight shows il up. 1t lacks tenderness,
and ut the price YOU can hardly expect it
TO contain much hidden meaning. The pro-
fessor advises the melting. Oh-George- take

that for all round work you will never
improve upon the plain white and pink.
1t is less liable to get out of order and is
easiest at all times to reneV. For the
figure the professor recommends some
thing 1.-the and supple. Five feet four s
a good height. but that Is a point that
should be discussed first with the dress
maker. For trains five feet six is perhaps
preferable. But for the sporting girl who
has to wear short frocks five feet six
