II ia interesting to note that the same
arguments were made twenty-five years
ago against woman's entry into the field
of art as are being made today against
her participation in politics. THE field
NJ art was reserved for men. A studio
or an art school was no place for
woman" With the progress OF educa-
ton and achievements of women this
argument proved bubble. Indeed. no
argument at all. nothing but dogma Of
slow minds.
In the gardens Of the Tuileries is a
majestic monument to navigation. 1t is
the work Of Nine. Leon Bertaux. In the
Luxembourg Museum are other works Of
this famous woman. It was her genius
and her efforts to win for other women
advantages which she herself had not en-
loved that resulted in securing for women
equal opportunity for study in the acad-
emies and institutes in France.
One recalls her life and history in Wis
ting the exhibition of woman painters
and sculptors now being held at the
Grand Palais. For 1t was she who in
1881 founded the society. For thirty
wears she had tried to win admission for
women of talent in PEcole des Beaux
Arts and the Institute. Her hearers
were shocked.

BEAUTY PATCHES AND DINIPLES.

Just as the little black patch which
has come back into fashion is not in
itself sign of beauty. but merely
foil to set off the fneness of the skin
or emphasize the pretty contour of the
face, so with dimples; they may not add
actual beauty to the countenance, but
they do tend to give a touch Of piquancy
and Individuality that is usually very
captivating
Dimples, which to the poet are wells
to hide laughter in," are, to the anato-
| mist, outward evidences that at the point
where they occur the skin is attached
| to the muscle beneath, and when the
| muscles are moved in laughter or smiling
| the skin is drawn in, making a hollow.
Hence the idea that dimples and good
nature are apt to be synonymous And
hence, too, it is that the coveted little
hOlloWS that come and go so beguilingly
are more than likely the concomitant
| of a pretty Cupid's bow mouth, for, try
| as they will, sagging muscles cannot in
duce dimples to show themselves, and
| the corners of the mouth must turn up.
| Dimples are not always attractive,
| however Sometimes they quite spoil the
effect of good facial contour, and some
| times they are SO exaggerated or badly
| shaped that they are actually disfiguring.
| In this case the possessor must turn
| facial artist and resort to powder and
patches. Incidentally, the first patch was
worn by vain court beauty to cover a
blemish, but the other court ladies didn't
know that, and, admiring the effect. wore
patches themselves. And that's why the
material of which patches are made is
called court plaster.
A aesh-colored powder, bit of sponge
and clever fingers can work wonders,
not only in modifying dimple, but In
ducing one apparently to exist where
nature neglected to make one. 1t Is, of

The Four Little Bunnies Learn
How to Freeze"
ny Thornton w. BurEesS.
copyright. 1918. by J. q. Lloyd.i

The first great lesson which little
meadow and forest people, as we'll as lit
tie boys and girls. have to learn Is to
mind. Some learn it right away. while
others. like Little Pete, Peter Rabbits
favorite baby. learn only by bitter ex-
perience. Little Pete had already had to
go hungry because he didn't mind, and
now his wobbly nose was swollen and
dreadfully sore because he had persisted

been told not to. OF course. his tender
hearted little sisters. Fuzzy and Wuzzy.
were sorry for him and tried to comfort
him. but his brother. Little Jed. who had
minded. said that it served him just right
Of course, Little Pete didn't like that. but
down deep in his heart he knew that it
was true. and he made up his mind that
never. never would he disobey again.
Now the second great lesson that little
meadow and forest people have to learn
grows out of the first and is called "freez-
ing" Don't shiver and shake at the
thought. for it isn't that kind of freez-
ing at all. Oh, my, no, 1t is simply

Now Peter Rabbit knows ali about

are used is measured by just how real

these days. Before applying the powder

AS for the patch. be very sure, as in
the case of the dimple. that 1t is going
to add to your good looks before you
seek its aid. If it is then experiment
before your mirror till you find just
where 1t shall be placed to be most eff
fective. If your face is round, 1t will
| tend to elongate 1t If the patch is placed
on the cheek bone. toward the nose. if
thin, then to round out the apparent CON
tour of the face place the patch about
an inch below the cheek bone and nearer
the outside or just inside the profile line.
If you have laughing eyes, the patch is
almost certain to be an advantage. but
| make 1t the merest possible square of
black: in fact, use only squares in any
shapes-they are the exclusive property
| of Pierrette and Coumbine-and place 1t
under the outside corner of the eye, a
| full inch and half below.
If your expression is naturally pen
sive then a patch, the merest trfie
| larger, should be affixed straight away
| from the corner of the mouth, not more
than a quarter of an inch If the mouth
| is large and the lips thin, tiny spot
might be placed with good effect at a
spot diagonally down from the corner of
the nose midway between it and the cor
, ner of the mouth.
There is no question that the patch
enhances the clearness of the skin. ap-
parently deepens the red of the lips, and
makes the eyes appear brighter and even
larger but let me repeat again, avoid
the patch unless you are certain that it
does add and not detract from your APP
pearance."

ness of the American shoe ana the oe-
mand for them is great.
One can go everywhere III rams touas
and see less hideous shoes than ever IN
the history of French summers. one

1 However, Paris has some very good
ideas in footwear, and while America Is
well ahead of 1t in everything that per-

in French hosiery and slippers Tor house
wear are always an inspiration to the
