FASHIONS IN FACES.
It 18 possible that the fashion of smearing women's faces with all sorts of pigments is going out? There have been rumours that the youngest generation is revolting, and now comes the news that among the demands of a group of Paris midinettes 011 strike was that the management should no longer require them to make-up their faces when 011 duty. Tf this requirement really exists it would he going one better (or worse) than that of the ladies in an old "Punch" who, upon a change of fashion, stood in their straight skirts indignantly asking of their cook: "What have you clone with your crinoline, Mary Jane? Go and put it on at once." If the Parisian ladies are giving up painting their faces the class-conscious midinette will not want to be behind the fashion. So we go round and round, and the beauty of one decade is the disgust of the next.
