 NEW YORK. June S.--A New York producer of musical comedies has created a sensation by announcing that he will no longe rallow make Up on his chorus girls
 .sNIake-up is ordinarily no more necessary on the stage than in private | life" he is reported as saying. An actress would not wear dangling ear rings and a sheath gown te play Juliet or any other girlish character. To appear with vidir red lips and a hee- tic flush is quite as Inappropriate, and is out of keeping with the best stage idealss
 How this daring innovator expects to recruit a chorus of show girls with enough color of their own to be pre- sentable on the modern stage is his own problem. The public may. how ever, be indirectly concerned, for it Is prophesied that absence Of facial deco ration is to become the fashion. and that for the first time in this genera ton we shall see shop girls and dehu- tantes without their accustomed bar rage of paint.
 Meanwhile, the craze for facial artis- try Is at it's height. It is a disputed -question whether paint and powder judiciously applied add to the attrac- tiveness of woman. But the make np of a fashionable damsel of today does not stop at q few dabs of the powder puff. Instead. beauty doctors pre- scribe rites for making each feature conform 10 a desired standard. some of the effects obtained are nlere starfl- ing than beautiful. Indeed. q descfip- tion Of any of the aids to feminine loveliness practiced on and by the American woman might easily be mis- taken for discourse on the customs of q savage tribe. To illustrates
 The Slender Brow
 The uluckpd eyebrow is an acceDted ideal of beauty, and apparently the thinner the line of hairs. so long as t is still visible, the more stylish the eyebrow coiffure. This fashion is seen at it's highest development in Cuba where the more exclusive the family the narrower the eyebrows of the ladies Of the house. Pulling eye brows is a remunerative profession in Cuba
 Ears must be concealed. In fact for maiden to reveal even the tip Of her hearingea pparatus is q breach Of eti- qnette just as it once was bad form for her mother to show her ankles. Large wads of hair similar to those wcrn on each side of the head by Hopi Indian girls adequately protect the times bows of ribbon are tied in these knobs for further adornment How the weaTers manage 10 hear through the ear muffs is a mystery to the mas culine observer
 The face to be fashionable must give the effect of be,fng white-washed with q blob of color on each cheek. The nose. particularly. must be kept perpetuaIly white. which makes il necessary for the women to add new layers of powder at regular intervals Even in public places. this touching up is permissible as lesser evil than the danger of the nose losing it's de sired whiteness.
 The lips of the young women are usually decorated with crimson paint as a mark of beauty, and some of the more fashionable have small pictures of birds. flowers. and even mice or snakes painted on the shoulders.
 This catalogue of American fash ions by a curious observer might be prolonged indefinitely The sad part of it. to those whose ideas of femi- nine beauty do not include the single file eyebrow and Hopi ear pads. is that more eceentricittes are approaching.
 At a beauty show iu New York, Iairdressers displayed. as the latest shock. models wearing false ham in shades that entrusted with their own. X golden haired mannequiu wore q cluster of chestnut brown curls coz quettishly draped on one side of her head and a red haired beauty was made more ravishing by q black braid pinned to the back Of her own head dress
 Part- colored Hair 1 It was time the hairdressers decided for boom in false hair. and just for a shange from the old pastime Of matching hair. they thought it would ! be interesting to try contrasts. They were justified in their prediction that the women would be interested. Those present could talk of nothing else. Then the hairdressers thought Of another way 10 win over the feminine public to the pinned on hair proposi- ! ton. Always the hair trade has op- posed bobbed hair because once wo- man has her hair cut short she doesn't usually spend any more money ha wing 1t arranged. But now the hairdressers have taken a new viewpoint. Let the
 women have their hair cut if they 1 want to. and then sell them some false
 hair so that they can have it appear long whenever they like.
