Text Appearing Before Image:
THE ART OF BEAUTY CULTURE How satisfactory it is to be admired at first glance! The keen, quick appreciation of beauty of face and figure appeals to every woman no matter what the race,clime or condition of civilization may be.Health gives lively, determined energy and the gifts of beauty assure favorable impressions at first sight; to make such a favorable impression is more and more the desire of women and they resort to such aids to beauty as will prove helpful. Health and beauty go hand in hand and if ones personal appearance is not entirely attractive, by making some effort it is possible to improve ones self.Chief among the aids to beauty in the modern salon de beaute is electricity. Electric curlers are a great improvement over the old fashioned curling irons; vibrators, hair dryers, electric combs and other pieces of electrical apparatus play an important part in beauty culture.
Text Appearing After Image:
570 POPULAR ELECTRICITY and the WORLDS ADVANCE 571 A complexion is admirable when it pleases like a beauteous flower; but to be charming, it does not have to resemble one flower alone. Race, climate, hair and eyes determine the color fitness. A rose-fair face is the supreme desire of the American woman, but there are tawny and copper toned skins suggesting other flowers that are often handsome according to the race. The Siamese lady wears a panung like the men; this is a graceful garment of shot silk draped to look like loose knicker-bockers, and a white tunic much adorned with frills and bows and jeweled brooches, with a sash across the tunic. Nothing covers her short black hair, but she is careful to protect her light complexion with a parasol and she carries a reticule filled with the most amazing assortment of cosmetics. The Siamese girls are pretty little things in panungs and dainty, beribboned chemisettes with their heads closely cropped except for a carefully tended top-knot. On festive occasion
