Molyneux, one of the most conserva-

Is emphasizing this note and suggesting
its Appropriateness for more than one
reason in these troublous times. He is
displaying a new town coat that Is
belted, with four pockets and conserva-
lively cut revers.
Skirts of suits are pleated or wrapped
to one side, jackets have double-breast-
ed fastenings and revers and padded
shoulders. Neat street fashions have
always been thoroughly appreciated in
America and this fashion may be ex-
pected to influence women in the United
Shakespeare lines, scanned details,
notched treatments on the front of the

these features have any connection

such clothes as some women have re-
Gently been making a pathetically vain

THE tailors in Paris who have to
make masculine clothes for special
customers are themselves half ashamed
of these models, and when I called re-
Gently on one, he told me he always
tried to keep his name out of these
creations, because I would much rath-
er work for normal women" But when
the depression sat too heavily on him,
he needed to advertise, so his usual
'greffe" went on all his designs. And
now, as the result of his satisfied Gus
toners, he has an exclusive clientele Of
women who want to be dressed like men,
He is one of those many Parisians

ladies, for whom she must year after
year copy hats first designed for their
wearers IN 1870 and 1880. Her shop
window is bare, with only few faded
artificial flowers in a SAKE vase, while
| heavy velvet curtain hides the inside
from passers-sy. This business was in
herited by the woman now running it,
whose mother and grandmother and
great grandmother all spent their lives
resurrecting antiquated millinery shapes

the same old shape and could afford to
indulge this expensive taste.

most inexpensive and old one, If the
one does not look good on you and
the second does. There should be no
woman who does not have firm ideas
as to what f1atters her and what does
not. Every hat you ever possessed

out of that hat than any other I ever

Healthy Hair.

1T is very important to prepare the
hair for the permanent by getting it
into the best possible condition. Take
as healthy head of hair to the scene
of the operation as possible, and with
the new and improved methods of per-
manent waving you will be assured Of
success The waved coiffure cannot
fail to be lovely.
Short hair, in large measure, has been
a menace to the shining, beautifully
groomed head. Many women, after
having their hair bobbed, laid their
hair brushes away. This was unfortu-
nate, for brushing is very important in
the care of the hair. We should not 60
to bed with dirt on our faces, and we
should not go to bed with dust on our
hair.
If you were grooming pet dog to
win a prize you would brush his coat
frequently with a good stiff brush. His
chances Of being judged a real beauty
would be poor If you hoped to achieve
the best results with bottle of bril-
liantine, or some sort of rinse. 1t Is
the good stiff brush that should be
called upon to do its work.

I would, therefore, sign of with four

five hearts with nothing else in his

partner holds king outside his heart

Natural Beauty.
WIOMEN no longer use thick layers o

WOMEN no longer use thick layers OF
w cream and power to achieve the
effect of beauty. 1t Is beauty itself
that we are after-the natural perfec-
ton of the complexion that we are
seeking and finding.
Whipping up the circulation is looked
upon now as one of the best means Of
achieving this end, and it Is done
through beauty masks.
Masks are as old as beauty itself
Fair Egyptians concocted masks Of clay
and herbs as one of their most secret
beauty treatments. And, in the pres
ent day, the making of the mask Is one
of the beauticians' best secrets.
In the dressing rooms Of the success
full stars of the theater it Is used be-
fore going on the stage to bring out
all the natural beauty Of the face, just
as in the theater long ago the mask
was used to depict a character on the
stage. So actresses still wear masks, but
only in their dressing rooms, where the
public does not see them. What we see
when the actress comes on the stage
is beautiful woman, fresh, young and
lovely.
