ECONOMY or A
 PRETTY MOUTH

x16 \ ' AVV AA . "A pretty mouth," said . woman who beautifes the lips. 'fs the best feature the most economical.
 with a pretty mouth woman may disregard a-great deal else. She can go without new gowns. se-ss can neglect the ever-changing fashion in shoes. she can overlook her sleeves and even if her mouth Is ugly. not all the fash ion hints in the universe will make her . beauty" says The New Work Sun. Tt was only in June that woman came to me to have her mouth rnassaG- ed. Her lips were thin and needed treat ment to widen them . little. I gave them the Cupid bow treatment. which Is popular in Paris.
 'I broadened the lips in the middle until they were deep but by no means too heavy. Then I massaged the cor ners upward to give that saucy little upward lift which makes the mouth bewitching. When l had finished the woman was fairly good Joking. though she had been unattractive when l be- gan These are our easy cases. but we sometimes have difncult cases.
 Women who sleep with the lips com pressed make mistake. They VIII waken with lips much too thin. Bet
  faxed One can practice falling asleep prettily, and practice in this as in all other things makes perfect. Most wo- men are too careless ever to be real beauties. but the woman who cares enough to really try will be rewarded
 T don't believe in bumpers for the face. If the mouth is too wide fat ten the cheeks and this makes the mouth look small To make a big mouth look little 1t is necessary to fat ten the face. If the cheeks are plump ed out the mouth will shrink.
 T take some good cold cream in the middle of my hand and when 1t softens rub 1t on the cheek of the patient going round and round in Q rotary massage. rub in all the cream that will stick and leave the rest to be- come absorbed. It Is astonishing to note how quickly the checks plump out in that manner.
 Thin faced women are rarely pie eaters. and seldom indeed do they par take of ice cream sodas and candy. ! get them eating pastry. for nothing fattens the face like pastry. and T advise them to eat a variety of food. tor variety fattens. . If you want to get thin In the face and slender in the nose and chin. cut down your variety. Eat just one thing at e meal. If you want to get fat in 
 will plump out as if by magic.
 We mouth specialists are compelled to dip into other professions. am hy no means a vocalist but do advise women to -sultivate the voice.
 The mouth Is ugly when & woman speaks loud.. She lips her words too much If she will leasn to control her tones her mouth will be prettier
 Look in the glass and watch your. self speak. Speak loud and you will note the hard, rough lines that come around the mouth. Speak gently and these lines will be replaced by soft pretty curves. Go to a vocalist and learn voice control. You can speak low and still be heard. and your mouth will improve 100 per cent thereby.
 "on the subject of a fiowery breath l feel that may say a word. wal reading the other day of a court favor. tte of a bygone century who hypnotlz- ed her auditors by the perfume of her breath. So well did she understand the mouth that she made 1t the work and duty of one of her serving women to be always at hand with sweet herbs.
 Tn old Virginia, whore the belles were lifelong beauties. they made 1t a practice to raise certain sweet herbs which on being dried could be kept all the year around. These were used
 
 sweet -.-~-.r--.z,
 Sweet seeds, home grown were also employed. and In the little reticuI which the belle carried on her finger there were delicate seeds to nlbble
 The court beauty carried a. bit of myrrh in the corner of the mouth. In the old Roman days there were mouth washes made by sleeping rose leves Three or four times day is not too often for the scenting of the mouth.
 T also tell my patients to spend mo- ney upon their teeth. cannot under stand the logic of the woman who req sons that she is too poor to pay den- lists or that she cannot afford visits to the beauty specialists. In my opin- ion, the woman who must economize upon her mouth Is too poor to buy clothing or food or to pay for lodging or anything else. Looks come first
 T said the other day to a woman who complained of poverty: Go without a winter hat. Cut down your dress- makers bills. Don't buy shoes or gloves. But do go to first-class den- tist and have your teeth strengthened and be sure to stop at Q beauty shop where they understand their business and have your mouth uplifted little at the corners That expresses a prin . ciple which every woman should heed
 For women who will not redden the lips, holding that roughing the mouth Is bad form. have some suggestions I gave them to customer when she went to London last spring. I said:
 When yoh wash your face in the morning be sure to pinch your lips Give them a sharp pinch to make them glow. While doing this bend them back little. giving them a little curl ingtwist which keeps them from get ting thin and at the same time pro- motey the circulation
