FAIR CHEEKS ARE NO MORE

Tint of the Gypsy Has Replaced the 8o Long Familiar "Apple Blossom’’ Effects. Parlslennes have adopted a new complexion. It is no longer fashionable to have lily white cheeks or to blanche the face like a Pierrot. To be "chic’* one must have a brown tint like a gypsy. A Parisian reception will wear presently (he air of a collection of colonial beauties and sportswomen. And yet. there is no sacrifice of refinement or elegance in the new fad. A change of flesh color has not entailed a change In the fit and fashion of the dress. The French woman will still be Impeccably clothed notwithstanding that her pallor and indoors look have departed, leaving a faint touch of tan. We muct make our adleux to "roses and cream,” to “apple blossom," to the "clear spring mornings” and "fair moonbeams.” It is the Imagery of the poets, but It Is no longer true. Gone is the Immaculate body of the sculptor as an object of adoration; in its place we shall address our odes to the dusky queens. There Is a new war of thh roses; the white have been defeated by the red.
