The secret of beauty Is a carefully trained eye. If your ey Is not tialned and you do not recognize at a glance a thing Mint Is beautiful, you can only bo as pretty as nature made you, and every one knows' that we have Improved on nature. The French woman's ey Is trained to know what Is beautiful from what Is not, because she Is taught ta look nt .work?, p.f art and appreciate them. Kvery Sunday the museums nnd art galleries are full- of working men and women, who find In the masterpieces of great artists something, some Inspira tion for their own humbler craft The girl who makes artificial flowers lookx nt a portrait by Nattier and Icarnji a new color1 combination which she cup use to Imp'rovo ' the value of her owij blossoms. , All drewimakers. get Mielr inspiration from the great picture galleries, Kvery woman who uakes tlie least pre tense at being well dressed has learned something from thlr olil-tlme beauties, even It It's saniethlng to' avoid. Yon have lots of beautiful things In America, but you don't look nt thenj. I know u beautiful Ithe , I know a family of well educated people who live within a blork of an art gal lery and have lie.ver been In It. Another woman In New York jKissed a celebrated statue "ft days III tho year and never looked nt It. She says that her urtlstlu sense Im do .veloped by looking at shop". windows, hut that Is not endligh. .Shopping does not tench you to dis criminate. .But, you can leijru to discriminate by Btndyljur the artlstto productions, the rent tpa1otlnss, the beautiful cmbrold. cries and china In the museum, or l y reading "about them. If you haven't hud the opportunity of seeln thpm From studying pictures nnd prints you Will soop leurn what Is hcautllul and what to avoid. But be sure that Mm pictures you pattern after wcru paint. d by real artists. If you educate your taste you .won't near things that are totally nitbocomlng Just because they are new, for you will learn something ubout your own artlstio possibilities and your own limitations. Tho other day I saw n woman with u very Ipng, ovnl face. She hid her hair parted in the middle, which made a peak over her forehead, and made h?r face look still longer.. A big knot of hair was drawn down very low.ln the napo of her neck, makimx another long line from tile forehead to the nock at the ride: and as" If that wasn't enough sho had on a sort of Juliet cap with the latest thing in din-gle-dangles hanging down over her ears, and, of course, she wore long ear-rings, for I have yet to find a woman with a long face who has self-control enough tp banish the long catering craze from her mind.
