[HN MARION RYAN,]
The use of rouge is so general and its application has become such a fine art these days that the woman who slaps on her make-up without due consideration of its effects is so primitive she should not make up at all.

BATHING IN LUXURY.
THE SUBTLE SCENT OF MODERN PERFUMES.
A perfume has no value to-day unless it has mystery. Moderu women demand a subtle essence which may be the result of blend- ing any number of ingredients." Most of them have a floral base but this is not often clearly recognis able.
Bath salts, of course, are scented,
with the same type of perfume. | The fastidious woman takes care to keep all her "perfume the same, toilet requisites of every sort form
an important part of her ensemble.

It is true beyond question that "the small clock hat, cut away! sharply at the back, is the lending favourite with the more exclusive Parisiennes, but there are many other small models which meet with their favour. For instance, the supple pull on," made of straw and ribbon or straw and felt, which moulds the head and turns back sharply in front.

***** LONG FROCKS AND LONG

-PARIS FASHION DECREES.
French women are talking oil nothing but the startling innova- tions in dress shown at the gala parade of evening frocks at the Apollo Theatre recently and attend ed by most of the society leaders of
Paris.
All the mannequins had long hair, and there were murmurs of astonishment when evening dresses were shown which, though beautiful: in line and colour, and sometimes daring, reached almost to the ankle.

Making-up For Daylight Dianers.
A very good rule practised by a whose make-up is always so perfect that it deceives most of her friends and a few of her enemies is to stand in front of a mirror with the sunlight pouring down upon it in the frock she is to wear at dinner and study her face and colouring. She sometimes gives her checks a sharp pinch and then tries two or three kinds of rouge to get the nearest to her own colour., If she is not feeling particularly at, she knows that the rouge will sink quickly into the skin, and she puts on a trifle more than she would if she were feeling her best.
She tries her make-up the same way with artificial light and has over the mirror or her dressing table a very powerful electric ball with two side-lights also.
Changing The Shape Of The Face,
A safe rule is to place the rouge
rather high on the check-bong, and
rub it toward the outer corner of the egg, but if your face is too round and full you can make it Took a little longer by placing the rouge under the eye and a little towards the nose. Another method is to follow the line of your natural colour as far as you can, and if you have successfully attained a healthy, youthful look don't forget to touch the lobes of the ears, for if they are left a sickly white they rather give away that look of fit-
ness.
Lipsticks That Make Young Girls Look Old
The use of lip rouge has gone

it is far more dangerous than rouge, and yet a little of it, just the right shade and judiciously applied, is so becoming.
The Paris dress designers are in forming their customers that in future really well-dressed women must have one or two divided or trouser skirts in their wardrobes, It is stated that for all morning and afternoon occasions in the open this season the tailor-made divided skirts will be the fashion.
If it is too dark it agte one, too light, it spoils the proportions of the mouth, but like rouge for the face it can certainly be lighter and brighter for night use.

Many Arus are now putting up bath salts in boxes containing tablets of varied perfumes, because i A woman uses different i scent with different toilettes and moods so she wishes the change the perfume of the water she washes in in order that all may be in keep- ing. Another reason for which
these little boxes are purchased is to place them in the guest chamber. Most women, of course, carry' their own salts with them, but sometimes the bottle is too heavy for a week. end bag or for some other "reason is omitted. How charming it is then for the weary voyager to find in her room a case of hath tablets each one in a different perfume. Whatever her preference, unless it be for some very rare scent, she! will be able to have a bath per- fumed with the scent which she has made her own. These boxes are so pretty, too, with the little balls, cubes or Hasks of coloured crystals, that they add a decora live note to the toilet table Both Yardley and Da Barry make a speciality of these sample boxes.
After A Hot Day.
There is nothing so refreshing. after a hot day as a bath scented with a de Cologne." In this climate it has no especial appeal as Eau de Cologne cleanses and soothes an irritated skin while; giving the pores the vitality which brings fresh roses to your cheeks!
