Beauty and Success.

Women who have availed them- solves of the services of the beauty specialist from time to time, but who have never been quite without a sense of guilt in doing so, when the visit to the beauty parlour has beeu paid for anything less obviously necessary than a sham poo or a permanent wave, may take courage from the fact that the medical profession in Germany luis begun to show, in practical forn, its sympathy with the in- dividual who requires aid inim- proving her appearance.

A new medical association of! "beauty specialists" has been formed in Berlin, and it la claimed that by improving the features of the less beautiful, the association will increase their possibilities of business and social success.

Many, indeed, are the negligeca in pink. One very pretty model is shown in gatin, with deep bands of lace dyed to match and placed round the deep armholes.

Crepe de chine is a popular material for negligees. One beautiful model is shown with a square shawl attached which is edged with fue Bilver lace. Another, quite similar, has fine gold lace instead of the silver.

Inch-wide box-pleats are placed in front of another pretty pink negligee in which the picats end a series of multiple points that give the effect of a belt aerous the front.

They are made exactly like the scarves seen so often now on frocks, and they are thrown about the throat in precisely the same

way.
