In inanv American homes the old
rusu>m prevails of having "company
ilothes" for the children. 'Their hair
must be ?-iiileU or crimped in tight
plaiting; the ordinary play frock or
Kirnham or percale is discarded and
t.ne lawn or other material with val
ii'sorling trust be put on; and a wide
brimmed hat. oveitrimmed with all
-"its uf Mowers and bows, is placed
on the child's head to replace the BOaV
i.et.

Now comes the beauty spot. Our
ftreat-great-grandmothers. and even
our great-great - grandfathers wore
paichea?a small iiiece of at Icking
plastcrish material on their faces a-i
"beauty spots"?but tho beauty spots
of today have changed. They are
painted.
The beiuty spot, it seems, is a ne?
cessity for the fashionable beauty of
today. The little brown mole, sup?
posed to call attention to some par?
ticular beauty spot of the face may or
may not be natural, and usually now?
adays it is not. The mole is painte 1.
Where there is no mole aU the wo?
man has to i'o is to paint ?jjiie. and it
hardly takes the talent of an artist
to give plea-ing re*ults. The paint
er works in the same manner as The
THKKK was once a certain Ris

who could and insisted on
telling you more about wha'

than all the rest of the employes put
together, and the Ross himself thrown

news catherer of office gossip he was
the only and original Paul Pry. He
knew when Sirnpkins borrowed five
dollars from Smithson to pay his gas

Vn* Well then. f$M are in an oflW

There was one* a certain Rtsi-ir
Voting Man who existed in a ? hronic
stale of "grouch" against eve-ybndy
else in the off? e According to him
they were all his enemies, ever rnrk
ing behind him with a knife ready
and waiting to stick it between hi
ribs. Nobody appreciated him. "Every?
one tried 10 make it hard for him. He
had in an his work and the man n?-xt

There was once a cr-rule Rh?ln?
Tnwatg Man who muMa* rata ahmn

btajTtettng aad bragging gbowt the
this fart, having d^one awav wKh the
old time custom.
Plain clothes also mean ? great rav?
ing for the household. Th I reed)'
in some shoi> window, all covered with
dainty embroidery and finery. The
*inlus.Ml shop girl will offer the Infor
tiiation that the dress is exactly Ilka
one made for a certain little princes
and that it cost tnu'h ?aasy^r.
The mother is apt to think it ha-d!
fair that her children should be dress
td in gtngham and percale But, ax .1
ft, little princess's are noi .1,lowed
to wear that kind of dresses?the
kind that cost hundreds of dollars
until they are grown. Those little
members of royalty often are garbed
as other children, in gingham and per?
cale.
The child loves a simple dress, a
dtess that can be used for all sorts of
romping and playing. One practical
n'other adopts a color scheme in the
dressing of each of her daughters and
???liiere:- to it with considerable sat is-j
fa< tlon. Her scheme is to dress one
daughtt r for a season In. say, ecru,
tan and white. There are little ecru
checked dresses and tan and white
striped dresses, all to be worn with
one big ecru hat with a brown bow
and i> little tan cloth eaat The color
ing of these dresses Just suit th*
child's eyes, hair and cheeks. '
The smaller sister, on the other
hand, is a decided blonde, and for her
there is nothing but blue, nine ging-'
hame. blue and white percales, blue
iradras. a wide whitd hat with a navy
lilue bow. and a blue serge coat are
arranged to give (he little sister a va?
riety of dresses.
Children's dresses should all be
made in the very simplest of styles.
They should be mostly of the one
piece effects, and the triinmina should
never be elaborate. There should be
iiands of white cotton braid on some
if the dresses, and a few embroidered
lots on others. There should be no
a?e on any of them and not a ruffle
11 tat i ntire wardrobe. Tbe unity of
olor effect and simplicity of line
Bake the child well dressed.
The wise mother believes In buying
photo retoucher for care is taken in
the. selta tion Of the most beautiful j
spot of the face. The retoucher of \
photo follows the same plan, placins
his dab of paint where It gives the
best results.
The present day face is given al
most as much attention as the photo.j
It is a paying prefessiors*-that of wo?
men who touch complexions?and
tl-?se skilled women possess the deft?
ness of an artist. There is very lit?
tle thiy do not know about the com
plexion. and they can beautify a hu?
man face so that it will look quite
natural, when seen at a little distance
When al' the natural methods of beau-1
tifyins the fare fail, the ?aint box is
resorted to and artificial means ?sake]
the woman a beauty. ln the nalnt-j
ma Man
kind nis great-great-grandfather us -d
to raise back in 1840. He would ex
press an opinion?and that. too. as
though it were a personal mi'tterand
the other fellow a liar?about any
and everything under the sun. He'd
have ?he last word in the matter or
die in the attempt. He was forever
and a day talking about fights and
fighters and "yellow streaks" and
"quitters." He carried a <hip on each
shoulder and another between his
teeth and seemed fairly itching to
have some one knock it off:
He considered himself :he leader of
all the rest in everyythine. and h?
talked himself into believing thit
everyone in the office feared him?
mentally and phys'rslly. He was
the one and only real mans man.
When kg played cards he banged his
card down on ;he table at -jach play
and he yelled and stormed and wanted
to fight if told him he'd failed
to follow suit.
In noker. for instance. If he called
a raise " and the "shown-dowa" snow
ed that the oth<?r fellow was merer.
bluffing, he considered ft a personal
SMsplav of his own "nerve." If the
other fellow bluffed him out. he con?
sidered it merely an error fn judg
ment. and not a case of "cold feet."
Have you one of him in your ofn>?*
No. no. airee? yon don't have ro.b-?

There was once a ?-ertaln Rising
Young Man who ,-onsidered himself
?he real thing and the onl? flossy
eandy when it rame to the ladi a. He
talked much during the day?la fart
he worked only when he wasn't talk
Ing And always his coaveraatioa
was of the "skirt" he was with the

he had "ngacements w|?h some dsm

a good many (rocks, making them as
I simple as possible and using the least
expensive materials. These dresses -
made clothes one sees In the stores
'help in the era of simplicity of chil?
dren's dress. Of course, every now
and theu we see a pretty little dress
every one ot tliem should be discard?
ed at the end of the season. The rap
idly growing child looks her worst in
(a dress that is too small for her
either loo short or too light. Hut the
I dresses need not be thrown awav.
I They should be passed down to the
younger sister.
There should be no elaborate lln I
Kerle hats. The latter should not be'
too good for romping and playing,
t'hildren should be left free from the
curse of fine clothes until they get to I
an age when tlnci ies and furbelow? |
mean pleasure to them. They should
be dressed prettily, but as simply as
IKisslble in order that they will be
comfortable.
This also applies to the school
clothes for the older children. Mauv
o' the latest French dresses for school
ar? of the worsted weaves and they
are not suitable for the very you n^t
child. The hats for school girls ar ?
exactly like those worn by older girls,
with the exception that ihey are made
mm h smaller and trimmed w ith a
very dainty finish. Hig bows and rib?
bons lake the place of feathers and
plumes In most cases.
Plaid is an early winter tavorite as '
a material for the school girl's frock.
Green and blue la the most worn, and
the blue coat is very simply made. '
The hat to na> with this is made on |
the tam-o'-shanter order and is sug ?
gestive of the prevailing soft crown. '
The old (usiom of tine < lothes for I
children is gradually going out anil
before long all the little ones will b.1
dressed solely for their own comfort (
A skilled trained nurse once made
the remark that a "good baby was a I
comfortable baby." and this same idea '
holds true with children. The good:
girl of six summers Is the girl who i?j
rot dresse d in starc hed garments, her1
hair done up In tight plaits and wear?
ing shoes that pinch her little to?s. ,
ing little, delicate brushes are used.
The brushes are of camel's hair, and
when the artist works she places her j
paints on a palette and paints like a
regular artist.
With the late styles the court plav '
ter beauty spot looks entirely too ar-]
titic'al for the best results. The vogue!
of the beauty spot is a large one.
There are very few women who have I
moles on their faces at the desired
spots. They posses.- the moles, but \
ihey are generally in the wrong place
The Kota is the real beauty spot anl
Is not considered an objectionable
mark. It should be perfectly rounJ
and of a dark brown color. It should
be situated at just the proper place
to attract attention to the eye. the
lips or some other part of the face
that is the most attractive.
If. for example the contour of thei
cheek is the most peautiful- ..ortion of!
the face then there is where the mote |
should be situated. Then. too. some?
times there are moles in the proper
position but they are not dark enough
and have- to be painted.,. It is the best
plan to study the fact) and And out
whei-? the mole will give the best re-,
suits to enhance the value of the
beauty. Water color paints are used
in the work.
The mole, or beauty spot, is paint
eC on the last thing. The beauty doc ;
tor must consult her patient as well;
as use her own ideas, and there is
often a heated argument as to Just j
what is the real spot for the beauty,
touch. The shin of mosi * omen is
an Ivory color v>d very few of lhem
possyss really white skins. The bru-.
netle who desires a pure white com-1
plexion makes a decided mistake, and
she will look muc h better if she uses
cosmetics and creams tinted the least
bit with saffron The brunette can
also use. a cream tinted with rose.
This should be worked well into the
skin and then the face can be painted j
over with a saffron tinted wash of1
seme variety
The facw that has no good founda?
tion should never he touched up until
makeup is thorouahly applied. For
the ordinary face there is a varnish
Ing cream of a white < olor. and over
this a wash, tinted with either ivorr
oi pink. Is applied according lo 'he
wishes of the patient. Very few wo-,
men can apply this wash satlafnrtorliy,
V is very simple to make -l! is Mitti-]
posed mosttv of exide of sine a little'
rose water and encugb water to make
the lotion a fluid. The tinting Is
done with carmine or saffron, al-l
though it is much better to it?e a lit-,
tie of the rouge that the patient hx in
3ho habit of wearing in liquid form
In this color the red color will har
motiiz.
The wash is applied with absorbent
cotton to the face and neck. II can
? hen be wiped off with a niece of sot:
cloth before it is allowed to dry. Th?
Httle hare spots are then retou? h?d
and care should be taken about th?
