SOME DONT'S FCR STAG E -STRC1 C K GIKLS
A FEW GENTLE WORDS OF ADVICE FROM LOUISE KENT OF Tlfe BAKER STOCK COMPANY
IF YOU WANT TO SEE THE NEWEST IN WEARING APPAREL VISIT THE STYLE STORE
A SCENE OF DOUBLE INTEREST
OMR Don'ts for Stage-struck
Girls' is a subject upon which
' Miss Iouise Kent, of the Baker
Sloi k Company believes she could write
a big. fat. bulging book.
"I do not mean," said Miss Kent to
an Oregonian reporter, "to maite a
sweeping criticism of the matinee maid
in general. No, indeed'. Why, bless
their little romantic hearts, the matinee
girls are our best friends, and whatever
would we do without them? If we didn't
know they were sitting out there in
front, intensely interested, and loyally
devoted to us Individually, how do you
suppose we would ever manage to put
any spirit into our work, or any romance
into our little make-believe love scenes?
No, indeed! There's nothing wrong with
the matinee maid in general, nothing In
the world: but among them, you know,
there is always a sprinkling of foolish
ones that come under the head of 'stage
struck.' These are the ones to whom 1
would address my list of 'don'ts.' '
"The stage-struck girl." continued the
willowy idol of Juvenile femininity, "is not
so conspicuous at the theater: it is upon
the street that she looms up most fool
ishly. You can pick her out at a dis
1 tance of two blocks, and when she, ap
proaches more closely, the certainty ' be
comes positively appalling: it's not pnly
Hie big bunches of drooping ostrich
plumes, or long fluttering veil draped
a la widow's weeds, nor the tapping
high heels of extravagantly arched and
be-buckled slippers: these things - merely
make one smile. One does not smile,
however, when looking "upon the crude
misuse of the eye-brow pencil, or the
startling effect of blonde eyelashes
dnuhed with brunette- coloring, and it is
positively distressing to see the havoc
of the rouge-pot at work, under ob
viously amateurish direction, upon a
fresh, young, rounded cheek.
"Now If girls feel that Uiey have got
to do these things." said Miss Kent,' ear
nestly, "why under the sun can they
not do It right? Where on earth do they
get the Idea that they must attempt
stuge make-up, if they would enhance
their charms at all. when going out into
the full glare of daylight and into the
unsympathetic crowds of the streets and
shops? If a young girl thinks it neces
sary to touch up a bit, that is not so
very reprehensible, if only she will give
a little attention as to how it should be
done, and not, under any circumstances,
take any suggestions from the stage."
"In the first place, stage make-up, or
any detail of it. requires certain lights to
produce any but a grotesque effect, and
without-these lights, the stage manner of
shading and touching up the eyes, for in
stance, would produce an effect opposite
to the one Intended. This is particularly
true of the line under the lower eyelash
and the heavy coloring of the eyelashes.
' j " -l I MM M Vl'ftrfj HS. " ' Ml ll- 1 " '
Under no circumstances should the eyes
be lined or the lashes touched for the
street, and unless one's brows are very
scant or so fair as to be almost invisible,
one should not attempt to assist Nature
by brush or pencil. Unless one is very
skillful, such artifice is easily detected,
and if once begun, it must be kept up to
avoid a conspicuous difference. '
"My advice," said the actress, as she
took up a rabbit-foot and hand mirror, to
pose for the camera man. is to use no
rouge at all, and never to attempt pen
ciling the lashes for the street.
"But if you are going to do it anyway,"
she continued, "then in the name of common-sense,
and as a concession to Mother
Nature, for goodness sake, girls, use such
tints as conform to your own complexion.
Don't daub carmen, or brilliant scarlet
enamel upon your cheeks, and don't apply
jet black coloring of any kind upon taffy
colored brows or lashes.
"I have known girls," Miss Kent de
clared,, "to use anything from stove-polish
to a burnt match for emphasizing
their lashes and brows, and It seems to be
a common impression that the proper ma
terials can only be obtained In black. As
a matter of fact, the dealers carry pen
cils and the mixtures 'which are to be ap
plied with a little brush, in every conceiv
able tint, and as to powders and rouges,
there are a dozen different shades and
varieties, each one suitable to only certain
complexions. For the ordinary type of
woman, however, a little cold cream, well
rubbed in and well wiped off again, fol
lowed up by an application of some soft,
pure powder. In faint flesh-colored tint.
will produce the best results and soften
the face wonderfully. If one Is extremely
pale, a touch of rouge (never of the en
amel' sort) is permissible, but this should
be applied where Nature places her
bloom, high up about the cheekbone, and
should1 never be spread in two great arti
ficial patches all over one's cheeks. The
selection of a rouge suitable to the com
plexion. If one would escape detection, is
important, too, if one must use it. The
rabbit-foot and powdered rouge, by the
way, has no place off the stage, and must
be banished from the dresser accessories
if one wishes a natural effect."
Some of the mistakes through which
stage-struck girls bring down upon
themselves ridicule are illustrated by
Miss Kent in the -accompanying pic
tures. The big picture hat, with its
mass of drooping plumes shown in No,
5, she declares, is but a mild hint of
the extremes to which the plume habit
is carried, and the saucy red kid slip
per, shown in No. 4, she say3 is no ex
aggeration of the kind of footwear
most pooular with the type, and which
she observes, must be productive of
most unromantic bunions. No. 2 snows
Miss Kent busy with the eyelash brush,
and' No. 3 shows the rabbit foot, which
she condemns in active operation. In
No. 1 she illustrates the long- veil and
the mournful, widow-like effect which
seem to appeal strongly to the stage
struck m.ilJ, and which Is expressive,
she bell2-e, pi the unwholeson.cly ro
mantic mental tendency of the girl
who takes the stage and its romnatic,
picturesque porf avals, too seriously.

WANTS ENGLISH HUSBAND
Princess Patricia of C'onnaught Is
Consumed With Hopeless Passion,
LONDON, Jan. IS. Princess Patricia of
Connaught is the handsomest member of
the English royal family.
She is tall, stately, has an elegant fig
ure, deep blue eyes, full of T thoughtful
ness, almost melancholy, and an expres
sion that gives color to the- story that she
is consumed with a hopeless passion for
a young English peer who does not recip
rocate, but prefers the stage door of the
theater to the private entrance to the
court.
If she depended on her parents. Princess
Patricia would have what is colloquially
called a "rather thin time." Both are ex
traordinarily close. The Duke is said to
be a prey to the .mania that possessed
George III., his direct ancestor, that. he Is
a pauper. Duke and Duchess are. always
planning to be entertained and never to
give any party in return.
' When they wanted to spend last Winter
on the Mediterranean without cost the
Duke went there ostensibly as inspector
general of the army to inspect- the garri-
sons. ' .'."-
Another inspection this year would have
been rather too transparent a device, so
he got War Secretary Haldane (whose de
votion to royalty will land him in trouble
before long, and has evoked strong crit
icism in the radical press) to create for
him the new office of Lord High Com
missioner to the Mediterranean, with a
residence at Malta, and tne use of a navy
dispatch boat for yachting. '- ' .
When the King of Spain came to Eng
land in search of -a bride and was. intro
duced to Princess Patricia she simply de
clined to talk to him. She Insists, it is
said, that she will marry no one out of
England. '
But the present Queen of Norway said
the same thing until she found it meant
not being married at all.

These Admirals have been applying
their ideas of cruiser designing to a royal

It has a clipper bow with a round

to be placed on a certain section of
the car. is also advocated.
