most as bad, her skirts will twist around
her calves in a most unbewitching way.
when an artist paints picture he holds
preliminary dress rehearsal. In one
Of the Boston picture exhibits there is
Lady With Fan 1t is a lovely thing, yet
the artist will tell you that it took him
two sittings of three mortal hours each
to accustom the lady to handling the ian
in a normal manner.
THE dress rehearsal is always impor-
tant. but it is Of more importance for
an evening appearance than for daytime.
In the evening woman takes more libef-
ties with her looks. Her gown is cut
lower and the color scheme is bolder.
At night many women make up little
when they would not dream OF doing SC
in the day.
sThen there is the question OF insufficient
lighting, The woman who dresses for
the opera in a dimly lighted room will
have either dim look or one that might
better be dimmed. 1t is impossible TO
gauge ones coloring in room that is
not properly illuminated. and this is
a mighty argument for the well equipped
dressing room.
"The woman who is going to make a
telling evening appearance should dress
as early in the afternoon as possible.
Many women begin directly after the S
O'Clock tea, taking an hour for the task
This is supposing that the hair has al
ready been done, the hands whitened and
the arms made into alabasterlike purity.
It is necessary only to poise the gown and
20 put on the high lights.
First let the woman acquaint herself
with the degree of light to which she is
to be subjected. and then to the color
scheme of the room in which she is to
spend the evening. II may be that she

will pretty nearly know the framework
in which she is to be placed.
THE brilliant gold settings are the most
difficult. Just as the bright gold frames
are hard upon the painted portrait, even
so is a gold room difficult for brilliantly
she may be dressed one sees the gold that
surrounds her.
"A woman should never wear earrings
that have not previously been tried.
Earrings have a way OF turning 80 as to
distort the lobe Of the ear. Study your
earrings carefully and wear them an hour
at time. occasionally looking at them
in the glass to be sure that they hold their
place well.
Never wear jewels that reflect the light
in such way that they shine upon your
face. Diamonds are grievous offenders
in this respect. The pearl earring. either
black or creamp is better; the turquoise
earring Is Immensely SuCce6Sfm with
greenish blue eyes, and sapphires go,with
eyes that are OF the Irish type. deep blue
put in with a sooty finger, that Is with
trailing black lashes and dark eyebrows.
Earrings that match the spots in the eyes
are artistically effective.
Wear gloves whenever possible. To
be sure you will hide your rings. but
gloves are very graceful. They preserve
the natural curve of the hand and wrist
and they hide the veins and Ill shaped
fingers.
Hold many dress rehearsal as to your
feet. The woman who slips her feet into
high heeled satin slippers. worked to
match her silk stockings. will feel awkward
unless she has rehearsed She should
draw her chair to within three feet OF the
pier glass and she should be seated once
or twice, rising as naturally as possible.
She will find that she has many undesir-
able mannerisms.
A mirror is an excellent idle hour
companion for any woman. Unless
woman chooses TO ignore the whole ques-
ton of beauty she will not forget to take
her mirror into her counsel. IL will prove
her most valued as well as her most can
did friend.
These hints are sufficient to indicate
that it takes time and thought, study and
practice. to accomplish beauty; but these
things make for the perfect picture.
