traced to the feather pillow and to the
trick OF wallowing the ears in it.
"The ears, even when passably good
ooking. are improved by treatment. There
are, for instance, women who are slightly
bald behind the ears. Such a woman
should invest in some good hair grower.
with this she should massage her scalp
each day, taking care to rub well the
spots back of the ear. A little good oil
Will coax out the hair. AS soon as 1t be-
gins to curl it is the salvation of the ear.
There are few ears that are not improved
by little whisps curling over them.
If the badness persists until the ears
stand out unpleasantly there can be sub
terfuge. 1t is a simple matter to have hair
pin curls built to match the hair, and
will these snugly tucked into the head the
ears can be concealed, Many artists con-
ceal the ears with tiny nglet For
beauty's sake the shorter the ringlet the
better, for it should suggest a curl rather
than actually kink around the ear.
In London this summer l saw some
artistic ears. 1t seems that the relgning
London beauties appeared in public, at
garden parties, teas and dinners, earless,
so that the rank and file Of beauties had
to follow suit or look behind the year.
So the strange spectacle OF an earless
drawing room was presented to the OBJ
server.
"One way of concealing the ears was
by dressing them. The ears were there
and you Understood the fact. But they
were so fully dressed as to be almost

zone woman had long and shapeless
ears, but she dressed them so that they
were chic when she appeared In public.
The tips were hidden under a bandeau Of
hair. The lObes were rouged till they
were a pretty infantile pink, and set in
the pink lobes were round silver balls.
They were immensely becoming to the face
and did not outshine 1t as diamonds do.
Few of the real beauties wear dia

outsparkIlng the eyes. Diamond earrings

the luster Of complexion, eyes or hair.
But the beauty strugglers wear pearls.
AT one Of the London beauty shops
they showed me a pair of bizarre silver
earrings shaped like a fan.
They are for a woman who has very

In most of the Paris beauty shops,
where they dress you as though you were
a doll, they make it a point TO match your
earrings to your gown. They give you
garnets, turquoises, Jade, a~methysts or
gold. They offer you topazes, rubies and
baryls and they suggest new and strange
tones by which you can secure correct
matches for your gown. The jewelers.

willing to color their gold to any shade

But where real beauty is required, as
in the case OF a woman who has no great
beauty Of her own, then the beauty special
list will almost always advise a woman to
match her earrings to her eyes. II the
eyes are small they can be wonderfully
brought out in this manner. You can make
tiny blue eyes look Ike sapphires by wear
ing deep blue earrings the color Of the
eyes. And as for pale blue eyes, they are
deepened and colored by the wearing OF a
deep turquois stone,
AT the same time that the earrings are
matched to the eyes the ears are being
