Complexion Tints
THERE is now a method, said to bo 1 perfectly safe, whereby the most delicate tints can be introduced beneath the skin, by surgical means, and plastic surgery is now rendering noses colourless and impervious alike to attacks of heat or over-seasoned food.
A woman columnist in London remarked the other day that the range of complexion tints formerly supposed to represent 'perfection in skins must have been compiled by a colour-blind male. Peaches, she said, had so ruddy a tint on one side that the corresponding complexion hue could only be claimed for a country squire suffering from blood pressure. The other side was of the greenish pallor induced by a bad Channel crossing. The lily texture, beloved of writers of romantic fiction, would have led even Elaine to the use of a geranium petal or whatever complexion aids were fashionable at that period.
