HIS week I nm showing' you ; three V
very charming and unusual Cos- ;
tumes. They are chic In color ind1'
design. ' They ' are truly Parisian; and so
just the . least bit daring. In the bottom .
picture 'I am giving-you an original -fancy ;
dress costume, it is an Oriental design.
The wearer should be tall .and. a graceful
dancer to display this costume to per
fection. In fact, I call this my Ideal dress for a ,
danseuse. The under robe is a rare com
bination of dull , blue and purple " chiffons.
It Is draped in the true Turkish fashion. ;
' with long pointed ends. The - elaborate
overdress is a striking affair of. bright
green and gold. " , The , heavy . ornaments
around the waist are. of gold embroidery,
the tiny bolero is also of the gold. The
curious headdress Is a green and gold
gj'psy scarf, and all the beads-and span
,. gles are gold. Slippers and stockings of
gold complete the costume.
? The scicond picture shows a very beautl- .
ful gown of draped chiffon; It is one of
1 my. most perfect evening gowns. The
. , bodice is a charming emerald bolero
trimmed with green rhlnestones. The :
chief feature is the long, plain chiffon
". sleeves which hang rather loosely in grace
ful folds. The double draped skirt is of
emerald chiffons, the edge finished by a
baud of emerald satin. The purple scarf
is edged with marabout and green rhine-
; stones. The headdress is quaiut and very,
; becoming; it is just a circlet of emerald1
velvet heavily studded with the green
rhinestones. It fastens in the front under
a gold buckle. . -
I am using with good effect certain
shades of magenta in evening gowns. Few
people realize that magenta is essentially
an evening color; it is a terrible mistake
tp use any of its various tones in the day
time. In the costume here shown the lower ..
part winds in loose folds that form a train
in the back. It is a voluminous affair, but
.as is shown, tends to preserve the slender
outline. The scarf is of magenta chiffou
edged with a deeper shade of satin, and -outlined
with marabout. The headdress
worn with this rare aud beautiful costume,
shows the Turkish influence very strongly.
It is nothing more or less than a Turkish
turban of plum colored satin. The 1
aigrette -'is of ' black and white - and gives
the necessary height .'
i As these pictures plainly, show, we are
going in madly this season for scarves of
all kinds.. Never have I seen more beau
tiful ones than the smart Parisians are
, wearing Just at present. Usually they are
. of chiffons, but all the soft and supple
. satins and crepes are also used. It is a
charming and graceful fashion and I am
glad that the smartest women are taking
it up. The very low-necked frocks are, I
suppose, responsible for the fad. A scarf
of some description is often the saving
grace of the modern costume. '
. The .scarf shown is one of the hand
somest; it is developed in the chiffons and
the satin, but could be made of crepe
meteor or plain charmeuse with as good
effect. The fashion of combining mirabeau
and semi-precious stones is one that I like
exceedingly, and I am sure that ft will ob
.tain greatly during v the coming Winter.
A soft black fur, a sort of fox, is also be
ing used oh some of the newest scarves.
But always the jeweled bands are used in
some way,
As regards the completion ol the coif
fure in tbe evening, you 'may possibly
want something less sensational than ?the
first mentioned lace cap, or less expensive
to yourself and obstructive to others than
the "sunbursts" and fans and crescents
and so forth, of closely clustered fespreys'
which are being used this season In hlth-.
erto undreamed-of profusion. .
So let me .Introduce and. recomend to
you a narrow and quite light bandeau
studded closely with paste, which shades
from shining black to' a white brilliance
and which is worn right-across and low
down on the forehead, the little wire loops
at either end permitting of its easy and
firm fastening under the hair at the sides.
And then directly in the centre there up
rises to the -extent of : some fourteen in
ches, a light osprey mount whose shading
from black to white-is followed and ac
centuated by the used of a central line
of first black and then white stones. ; The
whole thing is extraordinarily becoming'
and effectlte, and It could, of course,- Dc;
carried; out la shades of "emerald green or
sapphire blue.while though It is so tall, it,
is so tine and filmy that it can never be a
nuisance to those who sit behind It at the
theatre or opera. :

the Greatest Living Beauty
N "t QQ THE SPIRIT THAT KEEPS

1 ELI EVE me, if the spirit remains young, the flesh will ,
age but slowly." That is the comforting assur- (
ance given by Mme. Cavalieri in to-day's beauty
lecture. You must banish all fear of old age don't be
alarmed at the sight of the first wrinkle or gray hair. Keep '
cheerful, be interested in things, persons and conditionsand'
flee from the presence of bores.
Having thus struck the keynote of retarding the approach '
of age, Mme. Cavalieri gives practical rules for avoiding the
outward marks of advancing years.

No matter how tired you are,
don't allow yourself to look tired.
The tired lines and slipping down
ward muscles add greatly to your
appearance of age, Control them.
It can be done by an exercise of
the will. Sml e. Most women look '
better when smiling, , and all, who
have well kept teeth, look younger.
I said you must look to your feet
That Is true. If you have wora
shoes that give you a Billy, mincing '
gait, buy larger ones and acquire a
free, natural, springing walk. Don't
drag your feet about as though
they and your body had a weight
you could not scarcely bear. Lift
your feet and walk with the tine
spring and swing of youth. This,
too, is a habit that can be formed
even at an advanced age. Perhaps
you have had the slow,' heavy step '
of age from your childhood. Then
It is high time to change It
LD age i the bogle that
stalks every woman in
every country. Or, It were
more correct to &&y, the fear of old
age is that bog'o. Despite the ex
ample of women who have re
mained enchantresses until ninety,
women regard the early, wrinkles
and the first gray hair as a tragedy.
Let me advise you to baniBhthat
fear. The forty-year-old enchan
tress, Otero has told you, is the In
vincible one. Jn your , country a
beauty recently contracted her last
and best marriage at fifty. Believe
me, If the spirit remains young, the
flesh will age but slowly.
Contrive to keep intefested in
persons and conditions and circum
stances. Don't , let yourself be
bored. Flee from bores or drive
them from you.
When you are uninterested, your
face grows heavy and opaque. Jt
loses its reflective power, that mtr-ror-llke
quality which is its chief
charm. One of the wisest and
most . enchanting women-' I ever
knew truly a woman Irresistible
told me she would never allow
any one to see her In any but her
sunniest mood.
"Meeting people is making pic
tures of one's self," she said. "Mem
ory pictures that remain long, per
haps forever, In their minds It
is difficult, sometimes impossible,
to remove that memory picture.
They may Bee us in other moods
and phases, but the ugly picture
persists. If I am In an unbecom
ing mood, I hide until It is past, as
I would hide did I suffer from an
Infectious disease,"
That is true philosophy of charm.
Be interested, be cheerful, be at "Persuade those muscles. Train them. In time they will re
. a - at
your nest wnen you are in punuc.
If you cannot be these, hide from
the sight of men and women until
the ecllpso of your charming self
has passed. It you are a business
and professional woman and. can
not do so, at least hide the mood
beneath an impssslve face and be
hind the screen of a silent tongue.
Two extreme evidences of the ap
proach of age are certain conditions
of the head and feet. Don't let
the lower part of your face grow
heavy. That adds to the appear
ance of age. "Jowl-like" cheeks
and a loose-hanging chin add years
to apparent age. Prevent that de
fect, or, if it has appeared, correct
It by great care. .
Be vigilant as a worthy police
mau. Be on the alert Say to
yourself, "Am I holding my head

Beauty Questions Answered
A. 8. writes: "Will you please tell
me if there Is a permanent cure for
superfluous hair on a girl's upper Up
as so many have?"
There is no unfailing remedy for su
perfluous hair, for even electrolysis
sometimes falls.' Try various reme
dies until the : hair Is killed.
Tweezers often remove the hair per
manently. Try , them first, pulling
each hair out gently, being sure first
to sterilize the tweezers by passing
them through a flame or dipping
them Into boiling water. After re
moving the hairs bathe the lip with

As to those red lines In the nose

which Is evidently defective. Or If
,that appearance, Is a birthmark I
fear you' must rely upon cosmetics
to cover it.
The sagging muscles are, perhaps,
a sign of fatigue. Perhaps you are
working beyond the bounds of your
vitality. Rest more. Bind up those
muscles with a chin band of rubber

As many times a day as you can,
