 But, there. No scenarist would dream of suggesting Mayor Hylan s portrait statue as the chief figure in the MacMonnies group of "Civic Nir- tue" thereby entailing a few minor changes in MacMonnies work; which is what more than one woman voter seriously suggested at the latest hearing on the MacMonniss Man with h-his -foot-on- lady 's-neck sculp ture.
 Nor would it enter the fevered brain of the movie producer to have the life of a dancer in the center of New York city saved by an African chieftain or, indeed, to have her life endangered by a jungle spear dipped in snake venom. Unlikely? Ursula Glls will tell the world it was. She danced so hard a a studio party that a spear fell from the wall and pierc- ed her foot. No author would pre- sume to place a jungle chief right there at the party; but there he was, name of Congo Montino, and he knew just what to do for the poisoned foot and did it.

Copyright, 1922, by The Age -HeraId) New York, April s.-To those who
 think the rouge is red and the violet
 blue, there's distinct shock coming.
 A conclave of beauty specialists here
 has told the world that the rouge is
 green and the violet orange, and they
 can prove 1t.
 It is the hair dressers who have
 introduced green rouge and orange
 ashes-of-vioIet powder at their an- nual conference to determine how best to lipstick the lily and to paint
 the American beauty. A delicate green
 rouge combined with an ivory tall
 cum was found to give just the right
 tint to certain complex complexions
 in the evening and in the proper green shaded gown; it. brings out the
 sparkle in the eyes-of the beholder,
 at any rate. A rabbits foot caress of orange powder, on temples, cheek bones and eyelids will add allurement t
 to the evening warpaint provided the
 natural foundation is of a creamy tone
 With orchid shades so popular for street and evening, surely no woman
 would make the mistake of using
 mere red rouge. Ugh, how blousy and bourgeoise she would look. A brushing of lavender is needed, shad- ling to purple beneath the eyes and l fairtest mauve on the tip of the nose For other eyes and other lips-not to
 mention other gowns, some variation of yellow is requisite, combined, per- haps, with pearl.
 Now Landscape Garden 1 In the ingenious old days of shiny foreheads and bushes that kept
 coming and going without any de- portability whatever, it used to be said of a good looking girl that she was a picture. Today, with every
 ruse of cheek bone, every, curve of
 brow and chin carefully assigned to Tits respective tint in the powder rainbow, the good looking girl is a landscape garden.
 Hairdressing, 1t appears, includes beauty culture also. The American Ladies Hairdressing association lin- cd the walls of it's assembly hall with beauty berths wherein sat uncanny figures robbed in white, their hands
 and faces covered with brownish- gray magic mud guaranteed to take
 out the wrinkles. Other little sisters
 of the ku kIux wore white masks with the narrowest gaps for mouth and eyes and two tiny holes for the
 nostrils. These ladies were in pro- cess of having the skin awakened to it's proper responsibilities and to the baby-fair clarity of the long ago. 4 days stroll among the beauty par1ors of this town proves that
 magic mud and complexion masks g are mere nothings compared with
 what women will endure in the strug-
 gle between beauty and the beast.
 The beast in this case is ugliness and old age. Gray haired, creased with
 wrinkles. pallid, and pouch eyed, you totter into a beauty parlor. You emerge with iwayy brown hair, smooth and rosy face and gleaming eyes from beneath which the yellow half circles are vanished. You have ne wcrop of eye lashes growing luxuriantly on your lids. Your eye
