ARTIFICIAL AIDS 70 BEAUTY
Women Today Arc DevotIng Much
Time and Attention TO . Most
Important Object.

Good looks used to be clagsed among
the things that couldn't be got for
love or money" but nowadays we
know better. To love, or to be loved,
Is q most compelling Invitation to
beauty, while as for money-this is
what the girl at the counter of =
beauty shops says:
Some Of our customers keep them
selves pretty on about $500 a month.
They spend more with us than with
their dressmakers, for they realize
that an elegant dress with q poor COM
plexion makes an un~attractive woman.
and gowns are being stinted TO make
way for creamy skins.
"The bright red rouges aren't used
now except by professionals. Women
no longer cover their faces with war
paint, not even at evening. "A A-Ater
SHADE is used. 1t Is more natural, and
III couldn't detect it In the brightest
sunlight. That Is why many women
are becoming more beautiful--they
are acquiring more taste In face finery.
Nobody is ashamed nowadays Of
having artificial checsa. ard they may
an we'll have them when they can af-
ford 1t. It's funny to hear them dis
cussfng the color Of their cheeks and
asking II a cheek Of q little pinker hue

All of which goes to show that wom-

WAIST LINE NOT CHANGED


or course you want to know about
the waist line and where tt la to re-
main thia season. Littla has been said
concerning this important point, prob
ably because there la so little that is
definite to be said.
You may very well year your waist
where o had it last winter. ard for
the m@tter Of that you may also wear
last seasons blouse or bodice, fresh
ened up II need be, but not necessarily
altered. The line more nearly than
ever approaches normal, but even this
cannot be said definitely, for the waist
line is amazingly volatile, and alters
either to suit the type OF gown or the
taste or the figure of the wearer.
The impression is that the short
limo is becoming to short, stout fig
ures, and 1t certainly is to long, slim
ones, SO that it's votaries are many.
The prettiest and perhaps the smart
est innovation in dress is the big
granny mu1 and wide flat stole fash
toned Of yelyeteen. With a narrow
hem Of fur edging it all around. andA
big braid motif to fasten 1t aeross
from one side to the other over the
chest, such wrap can hardly be *
celled.
The newest Of the muffs are carried
out in bolster form this year, and are
very big, and nothing IL prettier than
the little hem OF fur, NJ matter how
narrow, introduced on each side. Al
little pocket q be hidden on the out
side Of the mum under q big braid
motif with hanging tassels.
The scarf d be rendered as warm
rs fur by single or double thickness
Of Canton flannel between tho lining
and the velvet. As regards the lining
itself, q pretty fancy Is that OF match
ing 1t to the hat, when the color In
question Is not too bright.

the skies were clear. Sleep was an

prodigious yawn. AS he stood there,
his pudgy figure outlined against the
sky, there was borne to our car the
sound of furious struggle on hilltop
to the south-a shout, blows, volley
of cursing, then silence. An instant
later we were both running through
