Made np complexión s are on the increase in New York. The fashionable or would be fashionable New Yorker who does not today make up a little is a rare bird. A dab of rouge for evening has never been oonsidered criminal by her, but she now uses it for daytime as well. As always happens when a habit becomes more universal, much of the present make up is very badly done. The few did it, as a rule, artistically, but the many lay it on with a heavy hand. Without wishing to go into the ethics of make up it is safe to say this - the fact that so much of it is done badly is one reason why we object to the increase. One must always have a sneaking appreciation of the story of the father who wheu told that his daughter used rouge called her to him and asked if it were true. "It is," replied the girl. "Forheaven's sake," said the father, "go straight up stairs and wash it off. " The girl did so and returned to her father, who gave one glance at her colorlcss cheeks. "For heaven's salie," he cried, "go straight up stairs and put it on agaiu. "
