 We don't like to call her a flapper. because the word seems to us to have gone out of style along with the frizzy bob, and the funny little hats perched lover one ear. But although names may change the fact remains the same, and that very vivid and entrancing young ! person Of the younger generation is al- ways with us, and very worthwhile , sort, too, in spite of the fulminations of authors and playwrights.
 An her faults are those of over em- phasis, and nowhere is this more true than in the realm of cosmetics. AL though the young girl needs less cos Snetics than her older sisters, she nearly always uses twice as much, and thereby covers up the vividness and glow of youth. Of course even young maidens need powder to avoid the suspicion of q shiny nose,," and for the beneficial effects that q good powder has on the skin. but they can be a little more care full about its use than they sometimes are. Girls are usually in a hurry, to get downtown to go to the dress maker, or the milliner lor to their dear est friend, or what not. Very often they seize a powder-puff full of powder and dab & on hastilyb make a core Hpondingly nasty dab at the rouge pot, and sally forth in comforting sense of perfection, which is hardly borne out by the appearance they present. More over, they are somewhat given to the use of dead white powder, whether it is becoming to the color of their skin or not. With the addition of a large amount of bright lipstiek the effect is, to say the least, unaesthetic.
 As matter of fact, it is now gen orally conceded that white powder is passe. and the warmer shades are more becoming to even fair skins. One req son fo rthis is the vogue for out-Of-door effects, demanding the peaches or peaches and cream type of face powders, which combine soft tan and pinkish tones blending with the warm skin of the modern outdoor girl. The dark eyed, black-haired maiden will incline to peaches and cream, with touch of ashes of roses rouge, which gives a color like the petals of the red rose. Just touch, enough to bring out the sparkle in her eyes. If her own lips are. naturally colorfuI she may let well enough alone, or use a colorless lip- stick merely for keeping the lips soft and smooth. If she feels need of accen- tuation let her first be sure that her diet is of the kind that brings the nat ural color to the lips, and then if she does use the ipstick let her take her time and apply it carefully. Nothing is more unbecoming on "a youthful face than the heard, artificial outline of poorly made-up lips. And don't sue cumb to the lure of beaded eyelashes and other sophisticated forms of make up. It is not sanctioned by good form and has not even the excuse of beconl- ingneass 0sgsir-si s-
 Naturally our youthful heroine is bobbed. If she is of the type which can wear the hair straight and untouched by the curling iron, so much the bet ter. This style of short hair is par ticularly piquant with the brunette type. If she must be waved, let her undulations be of the large, natural variety, and remember that both stiff ness and fazziness should be avoided in the coiffure.
