HOW TO BECOME BEAUTIFUL

Millennium for Fair Sex, as Far as Personal Appearance Is Concerned, Says Artist. millennium haa come for women of high and low degree—fat, thin, tall, short and middling—as far as personal appearance is concerned, says Henry Turner Bailey, the Boston artist, it the rules laid down by him are followed. Perfection of beauty depends on dress tones, says Artist Bailey. “To begin with, the athletic or mannish girl is unattractive from every viewpoint,” he says. “When I say a woman can be well gowned If she lives up to certain artistic rules, 1 am talking only of feminine women, not of those who try to ape the men. “In regard to the color of the costume, that should be determined by the complexion of the wearer. The larger and plumper a woman the more quietly she snould dress. In nature it is the butterfly who is brilliant, not the elephant. One very great danger is in overdoing dress. This fault is most evident among the newly rich. The costumes of self respecting shop girls are better, as a rule, than the costumes of the newly rich 'vpman. “If one is tall she .should wear gowns made on horizontal lines and never have dresses too long or too short. If short, the costume should be made on vertical lines. Never have your dresses short, regardless of style. If one is stout, dreßs plainly in one color scheme. If one is thin, mixed goods are permissible. “The use of animals and birds for trimming should be banished from millinery. Women are sometimes barbaric of themselves. that echoes the barbaric or animal is out of place. There is also the danger of sharpening the finger nails until they remind one of bird and animal claws. “The eye should never be attracted to the feet. Women possessing large feet should never wear tan shoes.”
