THE DANGERS OF

COME kind of face powder Is today

and girls. .

customs.
In our grandmothers' days, the use
of powder was regarded as almost i'm
moral A oma who powdered and
painted her face was hardly consid-
cred respectable. Today. no woman
thinks Of appearing in public without
a coating Of powder on her face.
There is not the slightest concealment
der their noses on the street cars and
on the street orner
A fine coating of powder on the skin
is not only lot injurious, but is bene-
fetal. 1t protects the skin from the
wind and the sur.
The early forms Of face powder con
tained lead or other Injurious ingre-
dents. Face powders, today, are. in
the main. harmless. Yet there are a
their use.
Some preparations cause infiamma-
ton of the eyes. Naturally. this is
found almost exclusively In women, al
though 1t sometimes occurs in men,
following the S of talcum powder
after shaving. The vision is blurred,
the lids burn and itch, especially af.
ter prolonged use of the eyes,. Many
toilet powders. especially those known
nc sr;on pnu-Jarg y onntain fpnroIfant &c
which irritate the lining membrane OF
the eyellds. Only those powders
should be used which are known to
be pure and free from harmful sub,
stances.
In former years, powder was gen
orally applied to the face by means
of a powder-puff. and often the pow
der was driven upward and lodged
on the moist eyeballs. causing infec'
ton
The powder-puff is little used to
day, except on the home dressing-ta'
BILE, and there the powder is generally
applied with absorbent cotton, which
is thrown away after a few applica'
lions. Most ONE carry in theil
handbags, p~ocketbooks or vanity cases
"compacts" containing a cake of solit
powder and a pad for applying it. Thu
solid powder Is free from many OF thu
objections which apply to loose pow
der, but the pad is often used for {
long time until It has become soiled
Fine, pure talcum powder or rice
powder, applied with a clean cottor
pad or piece of absorbent cotton ant
used in moderation, will do no harm
But care should be taken to apply !
with a clean cloth, to avoid Irritating
the eyes. and to see that the skin !
thoroughly cleansed, morning and eve
ming, with soft water, pure soap, ant
a clean washcloth. followed by larg'
quantities of cold water.

Winter coats, passing in review, re-
veal both the straight-line and faring
silhouette but emphasize, by repeti-
ton, the vogue of fur in collars and
cuffs. Various cloths are used, with
suede cloth and b%roadcloth well rep
resented. Brown and cocoa shades
maintain their lead, but plum and
deep wine shades, dark greens and
blues contribute new color notes.
Fitch fur, as shown in the picture,
harmonizes with almost any color.
