YOUR FACE MADE OVER
Written for The United Press
By Margaret Rohe.l

Oh, Beauty Docs, siilce you can now
conspire
To grasp some sorry face or two en-
tire,
How you do shatter, skin bit and
then
Remold it nearer to the hearts desire.
NEW YORK, August S.-Really,
it's getting to be quite the thing to
have ones face done over every sea-
son or so-quite like one has the
house or the limousine finished and
redecorated, don't you know? Only
when it comes to face values, it GER
tainly takes a bit of doing.
If Charles V or Philip II of Spain
could only peep in on one Of our
up-to-date beauty parlors in full OPP
Grafton, they'd blush for very shame
over the puerile and feeble accom-
plishments of their erstwhile inquisi-
torial torture chambers. SHINING
'em alive was one of their particular
pet pastimes. Nowadays, however,
fragile females suffer skinning as a
mere incident in their frenzied seek
ing for pulchritude. They turn one
cheek and then the other to prove
that beauty is only skin deep. With
the aid of skilled beauty expert,
several assistants, some acid and a
bit of slow agony, they shed a
weather-beaten epidermis for a
peaches and cream new babeskin and
call it well-spent day. If you are
contemplating skinning, however, it
were we'll to count on more than n
union day. A few hours will see you
skinned all right, but you will still
have to do bit of time and bit of
suffering in the privacy of your own
room before your face is quite itself
in it's brand new cuticle.
Then there's the fatal double chin,
the dreaded crows-foot and all the
other ills that beauty's heir, too. If
you don't object to a snip here and a
slash there and a bit of plain and
fancy sewing, these can all be put
quite out of countenance. Some of
our best known movie idols and idol
cites have had gusets and cores and
tucks and French seams taken in
their physiognomies, till there isn't
even poor little elusive laugh
wrinkle left among the lot.
AS yet this facial surgery and
wrinkle removing science is in its in
fancy, but among the theatrical pro-
fessional it has undoubtedly proved
great success. With the perfection
that time and experience and expert
ments always add, it will soon be-
come as common a thing to have your
face done over as to have your crook
ed teeth Strengthened up into plumb.
A bit of butchery changed the map
of Europe and now a bit of butchery
will do the same for Milady's map.
All the wonders the surgeons per-
formed during the war on the unfor-
tunate jaw and fave victims of the
Huns atrocities will now be turned
to the account of the willing female
victims, eager to suffer in the cause
of pulchritude. This new method of
cutting and lifting the skin and then
drawing it up over the temples and
forehead to eliminate wrinkles and
puffs about the eyes, the eliptical in
cisions and sutures and such like to
abolish a superfuity of chins GER
tainly has it all over that recently ex-
plotted method of filling up the hol-
lows with liquid parafne. At the
hard finish, a sort of lump jaw eff
feet was the oftenest result obtained.
Though our old friends Charlie V
and Phil II would undoubtedly feel
quite at home among the fiendish
paraphernalia attendant upon the
process of turning perfectly good
straight hair into the crooked path of
the curly, the permanent wave pro-
cess is not really as bad as it looks
or smells. So greatly has it been
perfected since it's first invention
that now it is as simple and painless
as manicure. Sometimes, of course
you do get bit "het" up in the scalE
and feel as some love locks were
beng pluckd out by tn roots, but, OF
tn other hand, and oftmes both, some
of our best little manicures gougt
out corners and go to bloody lengthi
on the cuticle, so there you are.
To be sure, it takes a lot of casl
and a lot of fortitude, but if vol
don't weaken you can weekend at 1
beauty parlor these days, going in 1
plain Jane and emerging a perfec
