PROBLEM FOR WOMEN.

THE EFFECT OF SPORTHARD OR SOFT j . 1 " * I [from our own correspondent.] SYDNEY, August 7. Many Australian women arc faced with" tho problem of how to engage in sport and yet retain smooth cheeks and soft lines in their faces, according to a Sydney beauty specialist, who declares that hardfaced women are increasing because take their sport too seriously. " What does a typical horse trainee look like?" sho asked, and she answered, " Why a horse. He has a lean restless look like one of his own charges, because ho is always thinking about horses. Before i very long ho looks exactly like a horse." Women fliers, motorists, golfers and even bridge players all go to the special-" ists to have the lines removed from beneath their eyes arid a certain grinusess from their jaws. " The sport itself would not hurt," the specialist explained. "Bub these women think of nothing else. The fliers come here, and even while they aio being treated they talk of struts, propellers, motors and new models, so that while the lines and tho calculating jaws aro being combated, they are putting in now lines, screwing up their eyes and tightening their jaws," Of course, women fliers do not begin to look like aeroplanes nor does the golfer take on .the shape of a niblick; but as soon as tho sportswoman gets earned away by her recreation, thinks of it a" day and dreams of it by night, her face begins to harden. Australian sunshine » blamed for much of the damage, but tea specialist has pointed out that the confirmed bridge player also has fine ,ji under the eyes and a grim jaw. The .Mg" lish sportswoman is not so serious, and tn American takes much greater care 01 ~ faco than tho Englishwoman or the A ■* tralian. " L The specialist's advice is: Take up npor** but treat it strictly a? a sport.
