THREE SHADES OF POWDER.

In a New York beauty shop a new canty sponsored by MAntoine of Paris, and called fnco fumigation,” is especially recommended for the toning of the muscles and the closing of pores.

It is said bere that not all types of skins require this sort of treatment, which consists of spraying the face with, the steam generated by the heating of water and astringent. Tile machine itself is a small thing, made on the principle of an atomiser and equipped with an electrical attachment for heating purposes. The vapour which issues from it is tepid, almost cool, as heat is not advocated here because it enlarges TmP'pores. A thorough cleansing is first given the skin with) a light, frothy cream, after which the face is deftly patted and the muscles firmly moulded; following this is the fumigation process.

For dry skins the “egg mask” is recommended; this is made of several ingredients, and has the consistency of a smooth cake batter. It is said to isoften and itjhe jskijn, and some people are said to react much mn'e favourably to this treatment the day after. For oily skins a. different mask is used, which absorbs the oil.

Three shades of rouge am approved at this saloon. The lightest has an orange tint, but when rubbed into the skin becomes a faint rose; the medium is rasp'ujT'ry colour*” - and tho dark is the same colour, only deeper. The blending of face powders to suit individual complexions is also advocated", three tints—ochre, ochre rongatro, and flesh—being sponsored.
