MAKING OYER A SUFFRAGISY
WOMEN HAVE LEARNED THAT
BEAUTY MAKES VOTES,


yet smile at the same time. for know
that shall succeed at my task. i shall
have bright and glorious reward when
I see my patient walk forth transformed
In appearance. 49,.
-The suffrage women, 30 at least a
dozen have assured me, now realize that
to succeed at their task they must be good
looking. IS
= Men are apt to slight a frowsy look
ing woman said suffragist TO me. and
they have a feeling that dowdiness and
woman suffrage 60 together" II 10 nec-
essary TO overcome that notion
This same sufiragist applied to me to
be made better looking. She told me
that for years she had been so busy de-
voting herself to the cause that she hadn't
had time to think Of her looks, and now
she was positively untidy. t...-
As a matter OF fact she was not fair
sight to gaze upon. Her eyes were in
tellectual and her face Of the type which
we call strong. but she wasn't an at
tractive woman. r '..,
~Her case vas little discouraging for
the reason that she had so thoroughly
gone to seed. She had washed her hair
in the wrong manner for years 80 that
il was dry, gray. dull and stringy. Her
other features and her clothes were
equally wrong. .-....
Il began right at the top Of the head.
She told me that she wanted to address
a meeting the next evening and that any
improvement made In her appearance
should be visible at first sight to an audi
ence accust omed to seeing her in the old
guiss of dowdiness. She wanted to
strike them as a pretty woman.
Il gave her the impressionistic treat
ment and am safe in saying that she gave
her friends a shock. We shampooed her
streaked gray hair and after washing It
we merely shook it dry without touching
a comb to it. Then We parted It OF and
rubbed oil into the scalp
while this was soaking in We waved
the hair in the new deep London waves
which are so heavy that you can lay your
finger in each. They look wonderfully
natural and they give the head that re :
fined, aesthetic and artistic look pro-
duced by the real natural waves.
IF waves are big enough and deep
enough they will look natural. It Is
the little light frizzy wave that looks
forced. We laid this woman's hair in
great ST. Cecilia waves, which We tossed
back over an 1850 pompadour. such as
you see in the war time pictures. There
was the suggestion Of parting with the
waves rolling back on either side.
THE effect was wonderful, but not
more SO than the magic produced by a
band OF black velvet with which we strap.
ped the front Of the pompadour.
Then we took hold OF her neck. which
was in pathetic condition. She had
banded it with a tall tightly boned and
hooked stock until the skin was like
parchment, yellow and wrinkled. Any neck
will get this way IL too tightly tied up.
-To reclaim a neck in one day might
seem impossible; but il you could have
beheld the steaming, the oiling. the scrub
bling. the pinching and the massage Of
that neck you would not wonder at the
result The skin fairly woke up. When
we began it had a lifeless look, but when
we finished it was pinkish. The next
day il had pretty creamy tone.
when il came to her gown we advised
her to get something new and beltless
The woman Of to-day is fortunste In
in one piece with unbroSen lines from
the bust down. Her figure can. be fitted
and brought out without being cut in
two by sharply defined belt line. 1t is
artistic, and the drawing room woman
is realizing it more and more.
when we had finished with our suf-
frage lady We could hardly get her away
from the mirror.
81 used to be an awful example, said
she. I knew it. but did not suppose il
could be helped. found out my mistake,
and now I'm quite beauty. Indeed
she was. for no one notices features when
the general results are 30 good.

ing wears big broad fat shoes With which
she can stamp upon the floor and she car
ries an umbrella OF impossible variety
with which TO pound at proper moments.
| had good look at her and confess
that I've been awake nearly all night
studying her case.
-She has good features, so I'm going to
give them chance. At present they are
naske ed behind thousand wrinkles.
I'm going to put French harness upon
her face to take away the wrinkles A
French harness consists OF number OF
bands Of linen half an inch in width ar
| ranged so as to cover the most important
and the deepest Of the wrinkles.
"My customer has complete set Of in
telectual wrinkles. There are two which
go right across her forehead from temple
to temple. | shall prepare two wide
straps to cover them.
Then / shall want a wide piece to 20
down -saGh-side of the face to take in the
parentheses around the mouth. They are
deep and trying and they come from think

| Then there are the queer little wrinkles
aroJnd the ears and these take another
strip Of linen. The face 10 cold creamed
ana the linen harness is put on anC drawn
tightly. 1t is worn for two hours, and
in most cases the improvement is instan-
taneous.
"Of course don't like to mention baths
| to an already neat aud efined woman,
but really my patient Is in need OF
beauty bath and have prescription all
written out for her.
1T has long been in the recipe book OF
the Queen Of Italy. The foundation 10 a
quart OF melted Ice and to this Is added
a teaspoonful Of borax and as mach pow
dered oatmeal as will lie upon q little
coffee spoon. When this hes boiled 1t
is all strained into a jar In which there
is a big lump Of orTis.
Just before the beauty bath q quart
Of weter is boiled and poured upon q table
spoonful Of soap Jelly and to this foany
mixture il added the beauty preparation.
My suffrage woman will have a akin that
is peachy after this bath.
aThe size and position Of the belt line
trouble most women who are striving
to be beautiful. Either the belt line is
too big or 1t is in the wrong place. A
great French artist in dress says the new
belt line IL rather high and Of only me-
dunn size. This means great aud partic
ular alanderness on the mart Of the oWDAY
