for very soon afterward ! went to an
other garden party given by an awfully
pretty woman and I noted that she had
left off nearly all of her makeup that
afternoon Makeup is all right in its
way but 1t is not for the open air In the
bright. clear CLEAN of the day. This wom-
an had the lovelest sunshade of f1lmy,
daphanous stuffs. all pale pink and white,
and she looked like beautiful Killarney
rose. There was no glare of the awful
rose pink. nor was theresa noticeable sug
sestion even of powder 'or paint-though,
of course, have alwayssbelieved, in spite
of her assertions, that. she did use just
a wee bit. Actresses always pencil their
eyebrows just little higher when they
carry a parasol than at any other time.
Don't you know how the perenna1ly
beautiful Miss Lillian Russell carries. at
least half dozen, parasols during every
play she puts on? She realizes how well
she looks under sunshade, and you
know she is an authority for all the
beauty tips that are worth. while"
Have you ever noticed that the aver
age woman holds her head down when
she is under parasol?'' I.asked
"Of course I have, and nothing makes
one look older or more decrepit than
just that one pecuharity,~ said the Pro-
fessional Beauty. vThe Jmoeslue, woman
wins her name probably from just the
pose of her head which makes her look
the part, even If she isn't. If a woman
has great appealing eyes. Like Annie Rus
sell for instance. she can afford to hold
her head down. paraso or no parasol,
but how many women have big, express
sive, appealing eyes?'
What about repeating the color of the
eyes In the parasol?' i asked, following
the Parisienne idea ofsmat ching the eyes
In dress"
"one of the tricks of.parasol beauty is
to match the color of the eyes in the
handle of the parasol" was the answer
Just a touch of this matching business
will serve the desired purpose. The para
sol and the eyes are in such ljuxtaposi-
ton that the one little trick will make
the most stunning effect. OFTEN instead
of having the hande match the color of
the eyes, the ldea IL carried O0lt by using
choux of chiffon. or tulle, or, soft ribbon
on the handle, 1t is really more subtly
done in this way than any other"
Il am greatly edited by all these sug-
gestions about the effect of4parasols and
their influence over beauty. Such trifles
do count wonderfully in thea pretty wom-
ans catalog, do they not? OF course The
Woman With the Fam has been immor-
talized by the wonderful painting of Abel
Faivers, which is one of the most adj
mired paintings In the Luxemborg. while
one of Robert Hichens' most charming
books takes it's title from the same, so
why not The Woman with the Parasol?
It's just as interesting subject" 1 sug
gested.
Il could talk volumes on pauasol lore,
parasol fifrtations and all THAI sort of
thing, because | have made it a study"
said the Professional Beauty, ~and when
come back from my summer "trip may
have some parasol stories to my credit
But will you tell-that's the,question p.
said teasingly.
