THE EVJiftllSG DAILY TELEG K APH PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY", JANtfAltX 10, 1870.
QUESTIONABLE FACES.
Men, In their own persons, have so little to
ilo with our questions that it woulil orhaps
nave been honester to have called tnw paper,
"Questionable Women's Faces;" for the first
rmnniinn 1m whether nr not it is well, in ftHV
!acnse, for women to paiut their faces in the
Mtvtaa Vnnun tn ertain fashionable circles.
iftzpd on with bewililermont bv outsiders:
and the next question is, Vr hat is the end
aimed at by female fashionables who paint
their faces in this year of grace, 1870?
It is certain that women painted their faces
a long time ago. The women mentioned in
the Olu testament, who painted their faces
and stippled the skin at the corners of their
eyes, were not good women, or women to bo,
by any stretch of charity, tolerated. W
hear of
"Troy's prnnd dames, whoso garments swept the
ground,
but nowhere aro they written of as painting
their faces: and How an matrons were above
launpicion of this poouliar adornment, Hut
lEvolyn, in his Hiary, at the date Juno 11,
l(io4. says i now observed mat tne women
'began to paint themselves, formerly a most
ignominious thing;" yet our countrywomen
paint their faces, and to an amount which ex-
ltes astonishment ana may lawlully be
bought to command inquiry.
People ten us that to paint the skin or the
ace bluo nt tne corners oi the eyes lor a
mall space, shading off in the direction of
he ear, gives a languishing softness to the
Countenance, and that it will make the great
est of shrews look lovely, mild, and meok.
Aro all the ladies, then, who paint in this way
itonstitutionally given to look daggers? And,
if so, which is better for mankind in general
R that they should scowl by Nature or soften
Iftway all signs of sullenness by Art ?
e are also told that darkening the eyelids
(find the skin under the eyes is an East-
rn eustom, adding greatly to female
ieauty, and so to the pleasure of life and
he gratification of the lookers-on. But when
t is replied that the ladies spoken of are not
lomestic characters, nor, in fact, Christians,
tn answer by acclamation declares that in the
luostion of faoe-painting there is neither
ight nor wrong that it belongs to the in
erior considerations of pretty or ugly and
hat it cannot be treated ou serious grounds.
Well, be it so; and when
"Affectation, with a sickly mien,
Shows on her cheek the roses of eighteen,"
ot us only inquire why she does it. She
loes it unblushingly, as might be expected;
ut does she do it to command admiration ?
Of course we speak of the painters of to
lay, not of those who belonged to a past gene
ration .
i Of those painters of past times the present
ivriter had the honOi, about thirty years ago,
)f dining with one who was supposed to be
he last of them. She was then nearer eighty
nan seventy, and she died full of years and
t'ood works, painted to the last.
f "And, Betty, give this cheek a little red
I One would nut sure look ugly though one1 dead."
j3he might have said the words, and probably
ilid in plain prose give some such
Instruction. Anyhow, what was done was
Vlone respectfully. I was young when I saw
this venerable no, I do not think that
'painted bid age can ever bo venerable, let me
say this variegated old lady; she lived in a
great country house, and had a husband and
children. She had not changed her style of
dress for the evening for many years. She
waa not eccentrio in any other way, and she
had undoubtedly been a beauty. She was an
active woman, who could walk about briskly
with no other help than that of a toy-like
gold-headed cane. She wore a flaxen wig
With short curls, and two strings of Itoman
Ttearls round her head. She had a llomau
t , ,t i n .i i
peari necaiace on ner enameiieu necK, ana
er white satin gown was edged round the
kirt with a gold fringe. Her whole com
plexion was exactly the pink and
hite of a delicately oolored doll,
d the only defect was in her eyebrows;
they had grown bushy with age, and they had
pot taken the dye well. She had no objection
jto talk of herself. She had always painted.
2she painted white and red to the extreme
(dinner-party point which was called for by
the white satin; but a certain amount of
pearl-powder and rouge was as much a part
of her dress as her shoes and stockings.
She had no idea neither, perhaps, had her
husband or her children of the effect she
produced upon strangers. She never dined
out, and they were a family who did not lead
Iivah vnrv full nf rmmftn hfllno-R. t.ViAV hpaia
J - o i J
joertainly not ashamed on the contrary, I
fiBhould Bay they were rather proud of her.
Extraordinary as all this may read, it is the
kind of painting most easy to understand.
That girls worn out with balls and hot rooms,
and too much croquet playing in the mai
mer, and constant excitement of one sort or
Vother, should so far fade as to take to paint
ing, very gently, just to make tip lor lost
charms till they can get back to the country
and renovate their natural roses this can
easily be understood, and even pardoned; for
as to the face-painting practice, people are, in
their opinions, like the faces themselves, of
every shade. The praotice is dangerous, even
when used as a temporary embellishment.
Rouge and its accompaniments hurt the skin,
and after a time make all natural renovation
impossible; still its use can be understood
and forgiven, though not recommended, lint
the high art of blue, brown, and yellow; the
get-up of artificial veins and eyes painted
' into softness, and lips made languishing by
the help of bistre and a camel-hair brush all
that is too wonderful and that aU that is on
the increase, and there is more painting in
London among respectable people than in
Tans or lenna.
The really mystifying fact bolouging to this
Style of painting is that such persons as de
vote themselves to it do not paint to deceive.
No one can be in the near neighborhood of
euch a face and not know that it is painted.
Nobody ever pretends that people are stippled
Line by nature. It i3 not, then, done to de
ceive, but beoause, on deliberation, Art is
preferred to Nature. Some women would
rather be artificial than real. Can there bo
V anything in this world more astonishing? Let
the fact be chronicle n&d kept. Let the deed
be considered and pronounced upon, we
are not going to say hero that the practice is
ugly in its results, mere is undoubtedly I
certain strange sort of beauty in the perform
ance. lint is this unreality to be admired
and encouraged? IIow can we be indifferent
when every hour of every day men and women
re forming opinions of each other which are
to influence all future life ? The subject is
Bo suggestive that questions multiply under
our pen. Who are tne assisting powers in
this rreat work of face decoration ? Can it
tin trim that a fine ladv who refuses to aoiui
see in the work of her Creator can trust her
maid to color her into something else ? We
know how the thorough-paced lady's maid
eniovs dressing "her ladv" if it be not too
curious an inquiry, Who paints her ?
Up to this period it has been supposed that
one part of women's rights is to be ' wor
shipped. Are the ladies going to exchange
worship for wonder ? Are they going to pre-
fer being looked at to being loved ? Tbeso
liiht are, the really great questions that bnloug
to our subject. Let ladies who contemplate
painting stay their hands till they are honestly
answered.
CIIILimEN AM) UETANIVSIC'S.
l'rom tht rail Hall Gatrite.
We could never quite underst and why meta
physics, which so few peoplo take to naturally,
r-hotild be forced upon children. Except to a
certain order of minds, the results of intro
spective psychological inquiry are barren
enough, and the process itself is as little edi
fying for the time as it is lastingly beneficial.
The lesson ' we aro all forced to loam by
different circumstances of life is not how to
deal with ideas but with facts. Action must
as a rule bo the test of character. The laws
of thought and the study of mind, pregnant
and important though they are, of necessity
only appeal to the tastes and intellectual capa
cities of the few. Civilization has become so
complex that individual f orco and individual
concentration are exacted to the utmost,
leaving little time for what appears unprofita
ble or at least inappropriate speculation. The
lighter kind of literature, moreover, especi
ally fiction, gives ordinary readers as much
introspective writing as they care to have.
Novels of the highest class deal much more
with the workings of character than the narra
tive of events, and the taste for sensational
ism is dying away.
But is the change from an objective to a
subjective style of fiction equally wholesome
for our children? Any one intimately ac
quainted with the juvenile libraries of the
day must be struck with the difference that
has taken place in this department of litera
ture during the last twenty years. The little
boys and gills of story-books no longer act,
think, and talk after childish fashion. Every
day facts no longer interest them. The
homely, healthy naturalism of childhood
seems altogether banished from the atmos
phere in w hich the children of fiction live and
move and have their being. Naturally, the
children of real life imitato their heroes and
heroines. They imagine that it is their busi
ness to think about thinking, to puzzle them
selves about ideas, to trace the origin of
action to its hidden source, to study meta
physics, in fact, on a small scale. The skep
tical in theso matters have only to take up
any of the new magazines or books catered
so largely for the young by well-known
writers. They will find various states of
feeling described in a way to make grown-up
people thoughtful. They will find a redun
dancy of sentiment and an elaboration of
style wholly out of keeping with a
healthy child's intellectual capacities. What
is worse still, they will find the stupendous
problems of life, death, and spiritual belief
expatiated upon without the slightest com
promise or sense or incongruity, 'lo deal
with the metaphysical element first. A child's
mind, just like a child s body, may bo trained
to perform all kinds of feats, and at last per
form them so easily that the juvenile reosoner
excites no more compassion than the juvenile
gymnast, iiut there can bo no doubt as to
the equal hardship of both processes. The
child who speculates is really as much to be
pitied as the child who dances on the tight
rope. His dexterity in reasoning has been
attained by a system of pressure as unjustifi
able in the one case as in the other, rreco.
city of any kind is sure to turn out ill,
Children whose minus are strained are no
more likely to grow into healthy young men
andt women than those unfortunate little
beings whose muscles are put to abnormal
uses. Yet, with tho best intentions in the
world, writers of ability provide books for the
young which no ordinary child can under
stand without an unhealthy straining of the
mental powers, and parents, equally well in
tentioned, buy them and wonder at them, and
read them, when the blise little readers in the
nursery have turned to something new.
The religious aspect oi the question is even
more Benous. A short time since very norn
fying descriptions of "children's revivals"
were given in the newspapers. To many it
was hard to believe that such sufferings could
be inflicted on innocent little children by
Drofossors of reacion in these davs of en
lightenment; yet to readers of juvenile lite
rature the statement came by no means as a
revelation. Allowing religious instruction,
when nicely adapted to the capacities of the
young, to be eminently instructive and do
lightful, we are obliged to admit that very
little with whioh we are acquainted falls un
der this category. Questions, perplexing to
the capable adult mind, and never dwelt upon
too continuously without mischievous results,
aro propounded for the consideration ot
bovs and eirls in the nursery. For ex
ample, we lately took up by chance a little
book forming the staple religious manual oi
four little scholars whose agos ranged
from three and a halt to seven.
The first sentences on which our eyes
danced ran as follows: "O. What will be
come of your body when you die a. My
bodv will be put in a box and buried in a
hole in the ground. And this utile dook,
according to its title page, has been circulated
to the number of eighty thousand. We
should like to destroy every one, and stop
this iniquitous system of terrorism for once
and for all. Children are by nature very
logical. Except to the dullest, words convey
iust so much meaning as they are meant to
convey, and no more. It is not to be sup
posed that when thev are made to learn page
after page of this sort of catechism, they for
get it any more than they forget their hymns
and btory-books. The consequences are easy
to conceive. The imaginative suffer the ter
rors of fear; the devout, the terrors of doubt;
the thoughtful are made unhappy by the
mysteries they cannot understand, and the
cloud whose silver lining they do not see.
We keep children as much as possible from
tho saddest realities of life, such as pain, in
sanity, and dissolution, but with a curious
inconsistency familiarize them with riddles
twice as hard to read and twico as painful in
the reading. Is it likely that robust physique
and strong characters are to be developed
under such a system i Childhood should be
hnppy and unrellective above all things, it
should bo fearless. To press upon weak
young minds the problems before which the
bravest men and women quail is, to say the
least of it, as unjustifiable as it is mischiev
ous. But there are yet other faults to be
laid to the charge of juvenile literature.
In the first place, there is a good deal
too much of it. In the second, it is a
good deal too elaborate. Let any one com
pare the children's books of the last hundred
years exhibited in the South Kensington Mu
seum with the display of Christmas gift-books
on a bookseller's counter. What with gaudy
bindings, costly illustrations, and variety of
matter, children can no more help growing
over-nice in the mattor oi reading man mey
can help losing their appetites if too daintily
fed. Half a dozen books in our young days
formed the nursery or schoolroom library,
and were read and re-read with unflagging
delight; but what child reads a story-book
twice 6ver now V What story-book gets the
chanco of being road twico over when the
slock of story-books is superabundant?
1 tie fact is and an ailo writer in tho
J-'pcc(filr put the case admirably a few weeks
ago children are in danger of being spoiled
by excessive worship. A simplification of
their literary pleasures and religious instruc
tion would be a step in the right direction,
but we must not stop here. If we desire the
next generation to be a robust one, we must
do awav with the sort of luxury that does not
fall under theso heads. Nursery toilettes,
nursery recreations, and the nursery commis
sariat are equally to be charged with the sin
of extravagance and inappropriatenoss.
