St. Johns Ideal Place for the 1925 Fair ST. JOHNS REVIEW St. Johns ideal Place for the 1925 Fair VOLUME 17 ST. JOHNS, PORTLAND, OREGON, FRIDAY, MARCH 11, 1921. NUMBER 18 Camouflage and Pretty Faces unmouflaKC was supposed to be an invention of the late war, but camouflage women always existed ever since the- days of Adam, when Eve very probably tooK the shine oil her nose by din ping it into elderberry blooms, or squeezed n few rose petals on her cheeks when sho was feeling n bit olF color. And there's no doubt 81M kept her lord and master waning moro man was good for his temper while she got up with the lark to bathe her face in the early dews, when Bhe Bhnuld have been getting Adam's breakfast, but this sort of cam oullage was very different from tnac existing today. Jn mo year ot nineteen twenty.one all beau ty seems to come out of the earth. And whut is infinitely worse, it is put on in public. Eve, I'm sure, would have blushed for shame if any one had cuught her in the act of camouflaging down at the river brink. Now nobody blushes un less it is with the rabbit's foot. It is quite impossible to go about without coming across some girl or other redecorating her self in full view of the public. Not a modern lass seems to have the slightest objection to taking every one into her conflilenco about the real quality of her punch-like bloom, her languish ing eyelashes, the composition of her Cupid ips and the shine on her eyebrows. It's moat ir ritating business to tho onlook er. You can't tako tea in u bun shop or got into a street car without sitting opposite some femalo who at any moment will dust her face with a powder puff the size of the family sponge. Girls blacken their eyelashes whonover they fool tho need for it, and all this so-called beauti fying process is conducted with tin aplomb and self nbsortion that is positively amazing. I've often wondered what tho men really think about it, all tho nico men. I watched a nice man tho other day. Ho came into tho smart little tea shop in tho wake of his companion, who was an exceedingly good looking girl, though already a bit camouflag ed. They had tea; ho paid tho . bill; another couplo hovorcd ex pectantly for their table, but they had to wait. Tho girl wasn't quito ready. Out of her bag sho produced one ot those little powdor boxes with glasses and puffs complete. This sho held nose high while Bho dabbed her face and neck. Tho man with her got a bit red; then out camo the silver lip salvo reoep tacle. A pair of quito nico lips immediately became redder than the cherry. Tho man well, he, loo, got rodder than tho chorry. After that she ran a wot finger over her eyelashes and oyobrows. Then sho put on her gloves and looked exceedingly pleased with herself. Now this was all within eyesight of at least two waiters, tho managor of tho place, tho waiting couple and sovoral amused tea drinkers nearby. No wonder tho poor man, redder than a beet root at tho finish, bundled her out as auioklv as ho could. Judging from tho loo in his eyo I could imagine that was the last chance sho over cot or making a public exhibition of herself and htm. And tho funny part about it was sho ob viously thought she was being very smart and up to dato. It was evident sho thought sho was very beautiful, but sho looked perfect sight by tho time she had finished messing about wit all that absurd makeup. And so ao tho girls who camouflage whether they do it in public or n tho privacy of tho dressing room. Mo sensib o person ob jects to n judiciously wielded powder pulf, but when it Ib ac companicd by lin salvo rouirh sticks nnd eyebrow pencils, the result is not only objectionable, but highly vulgar. If girls only remembered that camouflage of this description adds years to their age, and in a good many cases makes them look exceed ngly common and cheap, they' give it up. No amount of mako up over made any girl pretty when nnturo had forgotten to endow her with good looks. And what overy woman ought to realizo is that it decoives no one. Certainly not tho man; and men pimply hnto it. So would you if you had to kiss a glr whoso faco powder got all over your coat front and whoso lip tasted or scented candlo grcaso. You can't beat honest old soap and not water liberally applied twico daily. They beat all tho cosmatics over invented, and al lied with sound health should givo ovory girl tho sort of cheek a man iovta to taucb and kiss. A. K. Wise. Had a Delightful Trip Now In China J. B.
