Chalk
To chalk one's face in a dream marks scheming to win admirers — a whitening over of the true complexion. The dream tends to touch the cosmetic concealment, the surface altered to please, and to ask where we are putting on a false fairness to attract attention, and what real face lies under the powder.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for chalk, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
For a woman to dream of chalking her face, denotes that she will scheme to obtain admirers.
To dream of using chalk on a board, you will attain public honors, unless it is the blackboard; then it indicates ill luck.
To hold hands full of chalk, disappointment is foretold.
