LESSONS FOR THE
ECONOMICAL BEAUTY

II makes no difference at all how
much YOU spend in being beautiful, said
a woman who gives lectures on beauty
culture. "A woman can spend $4,000
a year and still be ugly. Another wo-
man can be exquisite on $500.
THE VienneSt woman is the most
beautiful in the world, yet the most
economical. She wears always the
right things, while her face, her hair,
her hands and her manner are lovely
Il am thinking now of the automo-
bile bouquet without which no beauti-
full Niennese is complete. Natural flow
ers are at once wind blown in an au-
tomobile. but the Viennese woman sits
nroudlv in her auto or her taxi with her
corsage bouquet reposing in her coat
front. The flowers are artificial, but
there is more TO them than mere resem-
blance.
The correct automobile bouquet, as
worn by the Vienna woman or the
French woman, is made of artificial
flowers highly scented so that they will
hold their odor in a gale, and in the
very middle of the bouquet is one sin
gle natural flower. The effect is most
charming.
In the middle of a highly scented
bunch of delicate silk viOlets there
stands out one big natural orchid, and
in 2 great round bunch of chiffon for
get-me-nots there is a big red Ameri-
can beauty rose off real bush. The
result is both economical and saustdc-
tory.
The secret Of looking always chic is
nothing more than an understanding
and a practice of personal economy.
The American woman, lovely though
she undoubtedly is. looks chic only upon
I'll, ie
not afford to look chic all the time.
Now the Vienna woman or the
French woman is always chic She
makes a study of her dress and her
gowns and beauty preparations, and her
effects are chosen so carefully that she
cannot help looking well
Perhaps there is running through
my mind at this moment something
Vienna woman told me about KID
gloves. The American woman makes 1t
part Of her religion to be well gloVed'
but her views cost her an immense
sum
THE Vienna woman of whom | am
thinking showed me two pairs Of glove
tops They were Of sixteen or more
button length and they had been in
service for three years. Several times
n year new hands had been stitched
into these tops at the wrist, but as they
were If one-button length and picked
up at bargain times they were ineXpen-
sive.
For the most part. so she told me-
she chose flesh -tints and colors lit
tie away from white, as they dld not
soil and wore longer 1t is one reason
why we Viennese women have the name
Of being so we'll groomed,' declared she'
namely, our great particularly as 10
gloves. We do il upon fraction oil

1T is a treat to see the Vienna wonl-
an manufacture old Vienna lace she
has a great deal of the real article pre-
sumrbly on hand. Yet even real Iace
viii wear out, and in these DAYS q
much wearing Of lace the best and I'M
est the toughest and the most war
ranted of old family lace will give way
sometime. Then what is one TO 20 eA-
cept to manufacture more?
II have seen a Vienna woman TAKE
piece of new lace and by judlcl ous
treatment make it suddenly look very
old She dipped It in gasoline and thell
in yellow ochre and gasoline mlNeo.
When she had finished she had lace
