LITTLE BEAUTY CHATS
Your Dressing Table
Bx BLANCHE BEACON

First, the position of it
 My illustration is not 8 pretty one to-day, but it shows only too well the effect of a dressing table badly placed and thoughtlessly used. Notice that the chair is pushed far back from the edge of the dresser, and that the light is bad. Notice how the girl in the chair has to strain forward to get a good vision. And back Of 1t all is pure care1essness-
 The English are more thoughtful. In an English house the placing of the dressing table is almost a ceremony. It is placed directly before a window, so that a strong. even light falls upon the face of the woman sitting at it. Then, it is always equipped with a very large hand nnirror-nOne of these dinky little bits of glass 50 often dignt- fled by that name here, but a, real, serviceable mirror, that can take m your head, neck and shoulders. The best form for such a mirror to have is oval.
 At night the lighting Is even more important. The best way to man1pu- late it is to have two small electric l cand1esticks, one on each side. The shades should be so fashioned that the light is thrown on the face This principle is observed in the dressing rooms of theatres. The light is gen orally unshaded and much nearer the 2 for general purposes, as the average I woman is not called upon to appear in i a gIaring spotlight and before foot l lights. I have seen some really pit fable cases of -powdering and streaky powdering that are of neces- sity the result of iI1y-1ighted dressing l tables.
 One of my schoolgirl friends com plained to me the other day, that she hated to primp.'' As this is a most unnatural state of mind for any wo- man to be in, I gratif1ed my curiosity 1 in seeking the cause. T found 1t in | her dressing table. She had it in a sort of aIcove in her room, with the I nearest light the electric chandelier. When I remonstrated with her, she 1 exc1afmed:
 But my dear, there is really no other place for it. If put it over
 by the window(, it will spoil the looks l of the room absolutely
