Secrets Of Making Women Beautiful

Donn Piatt, describing a visit to a cosmetic establishment in New York city, says : " What," we asked, " are the articles that go to make the beautiful woman ?" "Well, first of all is our vegetable enamel, perfectly harmless, that gives the most delicate white - I may say dazzling - complexion known to the female world. See'" he continued, taking a china pot from the counter, "this is put on easily with a suiall sponge. Permit me, madam ; it is soon removed ard lea ves no trace ;" and 8aying this, he appljeda small quantity to the forehead ot our companion. The result on the face of a clear brunette was startling. The marble smoothness, and at the same time the satiny texture, if we may use such an expression, was marvelous. Then he took another sponge and applied a most beautiful blush - a rose color - upon the white that was perfectly charining in its natural and soft flusli. "And now," he went on, "here is an exquisito instrument with which we trace the delicate blue veins that, when done, defy the microscope of science." "But how is it possible to make the new fice and the old shoulders match P' "By making all new. The face neck, shoulders and arms have to be treated all alike." "And does this artificial process end here?" we asked. "Oh, not at all; we areonly just beginning. The eyelashes and eyeshave to be treated. The eyebrows receive especial attention. We cannot Ilústrate with you, madam ; nature has done so much." He might well say this, for it is only once in a million such beautiful eyes, eyelashes and brows are given a woman. He called to a young lady of the establishment and said, "Miss Blank, will you permit me ?" Slie pleasantly assented, and taking a small ivory tablet he placed it under the eyelashes of one eye, and then touching tbein dexterously and at the same time with the most delicate art, he made the lasnes so deoided, so pronounced, they seemed to aotually grow. He then penciled the brow, and when done, the eíFect was most decided. The young lady was a blonde, and with one eye treated and the other not treated, the result was very decided. 'Certainly, this is all," we said. "Not all ! We give a delicate tint to the ear ; a rosy, steel color to the nails. We have powders for the teeth, we have nothing uncared for that goes to make perfection of a beautiful woman." "And are these things in general use i?' "Certainly ; you cannot find a brilliant complexion that has not been made so by art. We read with great pleasure of the beautiful women of the fashionable circlea of Washington and the summer resorts, for we know where they come from."
