MODERN BERLIN

WOMEN AND LIPSTICK

An attractive Sydney woman, Mrs. F. A. Bellingham, who with her husband, Dr. Bellingham, of Belmore, has returned to Sydney after a trip abroad, found herself an object of great curiosity when she arrived in Berlin on a recent visit, because of her use of lipstick and make-up, states the "Sun."

"People stared so much and were so amused at my lipstick and rouge that after a couple of days I just stopped using it," she said. "I was actually pointed out and openly laugh T ed at by the German women who do not seem to miss in the least the ordinary cosmetics that everyone else uses every day." -^, In spite of that, however, Mrs. Bellingham acclaims Berlin as the most beautiful of the capitals which she visited on a two months' tour of Europe.

The shops in Berlin, said Mrs. Bellingham, were very modern and attractive, and full of smart; clothes, but strangely enough, the models in the windows did., not seem to be" sought after by the Berlin women, who dressed very simply.

"After Berlin, Paris is a great contrast, and there, of course, cosmetics seem to be overdone, especially eye jnake-up,"- said. Mrs.. fiellingham.
