Paint and Powder.

Why on earth will women daub pow. der on their faces until they look as if they had been unskillfully whitewashed, and then go out on the street imagining that they look beautiful? As for rouge, there isn’t one woman in a thousand that knows how to put it on properly. The effect is generally the same as in the case of bleached hair —every line and blemish of the face stands out, and the rouged woman looks about ten years older than she naturally would. If a woman can put it on so that it blends Into the skin and we can’t tell whether she is rouged or not —well that’s her own business. But It takes an artist to do It, and the average woman shouldu’t flatter herself that she has especial talents along that line. —Woman’* World.
