Fair Face and Fine Feathers There is something indefinable which sets off from other girls the typical girl of America's greatest city. Take any woman at least! m¢lerately favoured, apply the art of the make-up box to her face, half hide it in a decorative veil,' clothe her in satiny drapery which! ends in plenty of time to give! effect to silk stockings, mount her} on a pair of Louis heels, and be-! hold—a "New Yorky" appearance. But this is by no means the New York girl. She still stands out from the crowd with the hallmark of her environment. Even the yearly cycle of fashion cannot rob her of her distinctive differences from other women.
In the moral code of the New York girl there is but one crime—and that is to appear dowdy. Never mind if the general habit is overdressing. This does not break the! Jaw. It is merely an over-zealous! devotion to the code! And there is! one virtue—to appear, if not in-! deed to be, frivolous." Somo_ girls' would snigger with apologies before using their powder puff or lipstick before masculine eyes. But not so! with the New York girl. She does it unabashed. Why shouldn't she? it is not only necessary, but she enjoys doing it. In fact, she is very much devoted to her work in life. She is the incumbent of an important position, and pays strict} heed to her duties as General Manager of Artifice, Camouflage Ca. (a firm of unlimited liabilities).
