BABIES AND COMPLEXIONS.
LAYETTES, NUBBE8 AND FAIU SKINS DIS
CUSSED. All the fashion plates published are
designed not only for the divinely tall
and adorably svelte figure, but alwaya
for the demoiselle or jeuno mariee. But
in the smartest circles of thia as other
lands, not all geutlewomen have aristo
cratic or artistic typos of figure. Upon
fashionable women, as upon the peasant,
Time wreaks bis will, although for the
favored of foruoe his full veageance is
pomo what retarded. Most tpilettes are
as stupid as the volumes of descriptions
written about them. Most women des
pite this era of extravagant coat of dress,
are content to tako thoir fashions at sec
ond or third or tenth hand. Some of
theEe fashions that mako the sensitive
observer shudder whichever way she
turns, are more or loss bald copies of
toilettoB banded down from the original
creation via sevoral different and in
creasing!) crude pictorial representations
The majority are modeled upon differ
ent, if not had, illustrations mado by the
overworked hands of some uninspired
toiler in a third Might black, working for
no figure in particular, turns out a de
sign that is correspondingly negative.
Toilettes that confer the coveted dis
tinction upon tho woarer of being well
dressod must be built for her. Selec
tion is the solution of the drees problem.
How wall this is known by the few wo
men who understand the art of lodking
their best was borne in upon me at the
Terry-Irving matinee on Saturday.
Mrs. is neither young nor Blon
der, and, as I must note these unwelcome
truths, sho shall be nameless. Her hair
has grown quite white since last year,
but it is oven more becoming than when
it had merely lost its youthful lustre,
and she is every inch the grande dame
in appearance. A clean soul and a n" rat
rate digestion, and not the complexion
specialist, are responsible for her fresh,
fair almost girlish skin. Her frock
was of wool, one of those fabrics to
which commerce give a variety of odd
names, but which 'is really ooly a fine
broadcloth with.the sheen of silk on the
Rurface. It was not automobile, or any
other of the absurdly named colors, but
an honest claret that glorious shade
which falls upon the damask when a
candle gleam is reflected through the
glass. The skirt wbb in tome one of the
conventional cuts, the bodice was lighted
up with a trifle of paooe velvet in the
same color, and set off with a bit of in
crusted white lace and a few motifs in
black, altogether Parisian in effect,
though I know it came from that new
Fifth avenue establishment which is
making some of the longest established
houses rattle in their ruts.
There was no coat of course, for forty-five
years or thereabout but a long,
enveloping cloak that was the perfec
tion of cut and acme of refined richness,
with its collar and stole of sable. And
then the hat not a bonnet, but a hat
not large, not small, but perfect for the
face, and framing the hair with its
draped puffs of velvet, the exact shade
of the claretwitblight-in-it. A middle
aged woman, but a picture to delight
the eyes! And yet most middle-aged
women are so hopelessly frumpy.
But a turn of the head! I chanced to
be at 'b the other day, when the
last touches for a layette going to Hemp
stead were being decided upon by the
pretty, fair haired mother-elect. I re
member perfectly well how captivatiog
were the toglets for Baby Number One,
who gasped its first faint cries at Bev
e rly-by-the-Sea. If anything this latest
nursery warJrobe is prettier still, for
every season sees an increase of taste in
infantile belonging.
The cloak delighted me especially. It
is a Ion; ivory silk in large soft cords, eo
thick as to look warm, even without the
chill-defying linings and interlinings.
The sacque itself is perfectly plain, but
the cope bears an exquisite applique of
eilk cord couched on and a border of
ermine, enough to add luxurious warmth
and not enough to look heavy.
Apropoee to complexions, I note that
the New York woman the elegant wo
man, not the professional promenader
is faking her cue from the pale-faced
Parisian and not from across the Chan
nel, where betwoen the fogs and tho
hare's feet, chocks are perpetually rosy
or rougoy. Tho complexion specialists,
as a cIbbs are a weird lot, but there are
exceptions which restore confidence in
human nature, It is to a Now York
woman that Mrs. da Bath says sho owea
her marvelous victory over age, as do
many others who do not live in ths
limelight. This specialist has an un
ending assortment of liquids and un
guents; does not permit her patrons to
steam thoir face?; uses only distilled
water, thinks much massage, or any but
the very gontloBt, harmful, and at forty-,
eight yearfl, to which sho herself owns,
is able to show a skin Jike that of a
beautiful chik',as the result of following
her own directions, Probably all her
wares are good; ehe takes her calling
seriously and has studied it for years.
But the ono feature in complexion im
proving and preserving, worth all tho
others put together, can bo learned
from any understudy in any fly-by-nlght
theatrical troupe. The face
should always be washed in cold cream
before it is washed with soap and water.
Simple, safe and satisfactory!
Thera is a great deal of nonsonpo
about tho English complexion. Englieh
women "mako up" more than any other
women in good society. English girle of
good birth are taught regard for thoir
complexions while they are in pinafores
eating broad and milk, aud it is to thoir
persistent caro of thoir skin, much moro
than to the climate, that is duo the fact
that some English women are beauties.
Not all? Bless me, no! Town TopicB.
