FASHIONS IN FACES.
AN ENGLISH WRITER'S OPINION. LOOK FOREIGN. Fashions in faces change like every other sort of ::ashion. Just now it is not considered so important to be perfectly beautiful. You get by almost as well if you are unusual-looking or attractively ugly. Indeed, one of the greatest compliments one can pay an English girl is to tell her that she is foreign-looking. Pretty young girls would rather appear experienced and blase than glow with the bloom of natural beauty. So they co\er their faces with the particular colour;; of powder and rouge, lipstick and eye shade that are fashionable at the moment. And they succeed in looking exact y like the plain young girls —and the plain not-so-young girls—who are covering "heir faces in the same way. I do not suppose that visitors from Vienna, or a :iywhere else, will ever succeed in finding again the old ideal of fresh English loveliness, says the writer. Too many of our women have learned how to achieve imitation beauty.
