THE PROFILE

The most discoura ged letters that l receive are from women who are dissatisfied with their proi1es. Moth ing, they think, can be done to im- prove the side face. There is the bad chin and the bad nose, the forehead that slopes too much, and what can be done to change them? Of course the answer always is-nothing at all But to balance this discouraging statement always write that a great deal can be done to make the profile seem prettier than it really is
 The woman with a poor profile must be particularly careful of her complexion, which should be f1awless, and of her hair, which should be per- fectly dressed. In fact she can dress her hair SD as to make an ingrowing chin an attractive part of her face! The usual way to do this is"to fluff the hair softly around the face and then to draw it into a very high knot at the back. A little experimenting will show each woman the very best way for her to do this.
 Curiously enough the shape of the eyebrows and the length of the eye lashes have a great deal to do with attraetVenesS of profile. If the eye brows are kept well shaped by brush ing them constantly and by pulling out all sHperfuous hairs it will help ilnLnenSely. 1T the eyelaSheS are treat ed with the proper sort of creams and ointments so they will grow long and thick, this, too, will aid the appear ance of the side face.
 If the cheeks are pink and round with health they, too, will help to make the side view of the face attrac- tive.

"The bushman's idea that anything but

"The results Of my last expedition into
the jungle make me feel that perhaps the

Her bridesmaids may or may not be
these friends; in fact, as they have been
subject, like herself, to the thraldom OF
custom and tradition, it is not likely that
they are. She never went to school, but
was taught everything she knows by gov

variety of games and is an ardent athlete,
but her fellow players have never been en-

has driven or ridden playing tennis or
golf, there has always been a chaperon by
her side and behind her the two ladies of
the bedchamber.
Yes, even when she padded "her own
canoe" the Princess was obliged to carry
weight in the shape of one or other of
these tiresome ladies-in-waitfng But her
mother has been her most constant friend
and companion between them there has
been real affection and understanding. On
that last day of maidenhood the likeliest
person to spend It with the young Princess
is the Queen.

1919. His record in the late war is of the
best. In almost every particular Lord
