JUVENILE MAKE-UP.
Should schoolgirls be permitted to use powder-puffs, rouge their lips, and employ other artificial aids to beauty ? The growing practice among French college girls of making-up has raised a controversy which may lead to action by the Minister of Education, states a writer in a London journal. , ,In principle, powder-puffs are forbidden in girls' boarding schools, but headmistresses have generally confined themselves to drawing the attention of pupils to the regulations and then turned a blind eye to the practice. "The modern girl," said the headmistress of a Paris girls' college, "is so clever in the art of make-up that it is often hard to say whether or not she deserves a reprimand. "I do not consider the use of powderpuffs, rouge,-and beauty creams as immoral in itself, but, a fresh-complexioned girl of 16 or 17 should not require any artificial aids to beauty, and it would ■ deplorable for the good name of our boarding schools if the habit were allowed to spread."
