Tha we for rainbow faces Is, however, just at its height, and aalladl who drives In tho Champes Elyncos or tahee a tteald eeastltutlonal along the T3ola no longer dreads tha lack of enthusiasm of the street gamin. There are days when her face la a peculiar shade of green, a green that verges on the purple under her eyea; other days when ipwple Is the color note and the line under the eyes a vivid 'pomegranate, matching her Hps. Of blue faces and of deep orange faces there are many. The ears are always hidden under loops of hair, but the face and even the neck reflect the lady's mood. 'When the ghastly white face, with eyes looking like barned holes la a blanket, and the ermllllon Hps gnvo way to pale shades of yellow, Verily' I said; "Paris will go no' further," But, you see.

The chlo Partaienae has a doien difterent wigs, or trans formations, made, each one dyed a difterent color. She therefore can gratify any whim that seizes her. But there are other freakish fancies thai, mark this very peculiar phase through which we ard passing. 1 blamo them all unreservedly on the recent fu roro for the cubist offects. which has so transformed the spirit of Paris. It iaa the cubists and their fellows who Intro duced the green faces to Paris, and fool ish, but ever dear, delightful Paris said If such things are artistic on canvas, why not In flesh and blood? Among these other odd fancies ato tho painted furs, the noae rlng, he nnkle watch, the jewelled beauty sp6U tho gilt edged eyelashes, landscape veils, to say nothing of the strange, welrdlyshaped and decorated hats, and the funnjr llttlo hair hustles which wo wear la frdnt in stead of in tho back. ;T Therage tar painted furs is, I think, a purely logical sequence to the erase, 'f or other unnatural dyed and painted" fab rics. And why should wo not dyo or paint our furs to match our hair, our bats", our eyss? Furs aro always dyed, anyway, "Why, instead of dyeing fox brown, should w6 not dye or paint It pur pie, green or blue? This Is perfectly logical. Therefore for months we have been' experimenting, and at last we have achieved the sup poeedly Impossible. Vfo aro dyeing or painting fox tne mbst'delight; tul shades of blue and green. We uro dyeing fur wraps a, lovely royal purple. In fait, there is nothing we daro not attempt. I havo seea a de lightful pink chiffon evening gown trimmed with hands of pink ermine. This fHr, by the way, toning flat, is store susceptible to yalnt thaa to dye. It te a liquid water -saint, of course, aad is applied with a wide brush in evea, firm strokes. The landscape veils are curious, hat not unpfeaslng when worn with the har monious costume. And what are these voIIbT Just squares of chiffon on which aro painted charming hits of scenery from the gardens at Versailles, hits of sea pictures or Just simple flower gar densall painted In their natural colors on a soft gray; white or green back ground. These veils, as a rule, hang freo from the brim of the hat. The effect is unusual, but, after all, has a certain at: traction. Why should we not wear a pretty picture across our faces rather than the hideous end unbecoming splotchy veils of the so recent past? It is all in tho point of view, s Gilded eyelashes are another weird at "Herapt to put Dame Nature hopelessly to eh&me. The laahes are Jftrat heavily blackened as on the stage. Then tho extreme tips are touched up with liquid gold. The effect Is really bewitching when tho work Is skilfully done. The puff-ball plume is the latest deco ration for tho wide, oddly brimmed hats. This pluoio is so high that the limousines are h4lng made with holes in their rjoofa through which, on a clear day, the plumes stick upward. In fact, with tho high decorations and . upstanding brims the tops of all vehicles will havo to bo curved upward. The Jewelled beauty spots are fascloat hig. They are attached with the usual court plaster beauty spot, and are both decorative and effective. r ' Fox Dyed Purple to Mate V the Purple Broadcloth Cat feme.
