LOLA MoNrEZ ON BEAUTIFUL
WOMEN

q. The notorious and world renowned wo>
man known as Lola Montez, or Countess
of Landsfelt, made her debut. before q
Hamilton Canada) audience few days
ago, in the capacity of q public LECTURER.
The interesting theme chosen, for The Oc-
casion was Beautiful Women, and how TO
develop, and preserve female beauty.
There was q large attendance, amongst
which, was q fair sprinkling, Of ladies'!
The time announced for the commence
ment Of the lecture was 8 O'Clock, but the
Countess did not make her appearance,
though anxiously expected, Ill half an
hour after that time. On ascending the
platform. says the Hamilton canadian }
Banner, she was loudly applauded, TO
which she returned a very gracious bow.
We were very much astonished at the
feminine and very delicate appearance of
the fair lecturer, who has figured in SO
many chequered scenes in Bavaria, Paris
and London; in New York and San Fran
cisco; and whose exploits are so well
known TO our readers, Her face is thin
and pale, and her eyes black and spark
ling. She has evidently at one time been
a beautiful woman, She;ha a nervous,
unsettled motion. and it is quite clear she
must be in ,ceaseess activity. The lee
turer commenced her address; which was
read from manuscript. by en- attempt TO
define in what beauty consisted She,
however. acknowledged that it was. dif>
hcult task; for what was considered beau
y in one part OF the globe was regarded
as monstrUus ugllness in another. In, one
country FIVE or six scars on the face was
regarded as essential TO a~beauliful coun-
tenance. Thus, from a mere accident
connected With valor, has arisen the Gus.
tom OF slashing the face into gashes. as q
markof beauty, With other nations, g
greasy skin, thick, lips -snd fat nose
were looked upon as. auxiliaries to beau.
IT,. Fatness was requisite, in some parts
of the globe to constitute a, beauty. The
six Graces by thetpainter Rubensewere all
fat. Red hair had, once beenf,regarded ed
as characteristics OF beauty. and iasi ex
amples, Mary Queen Of Scots aud Gieopa
ira were referred to. Yellow hair hac
also been regarded as. beautiful sorna
ment, and from this had been originated
by: the Duke of Buckingham. the. ordel
of the Gelden Fleece. Further iillustra
tions were7given4 of the fckleness of thl
standard for whattwas considered beau
tiful women. In Africa. lips an inch il
) thickness were nrequisite; IN Chine, small

East the principal articles used for pre-.
serving beauty were the bath and fric.
tioh.s Various cosmetics used by fashions
able women were here mentioned,
amongst which was the celebrated creme
de J. ERctosi which was extensively used
by the court fashionables in the time Of
Charles II! sFhisi fluid was effective1 in
calling the crimson blood 10 the exter-
nal surface. We understood the ,Coun-
tess to say that it was composed princi.
pally of the tincture of dandelion, inspis.
sated with water: In Germany arsenic
was used extensively to give affair com.
plexion. But when once the use of poi.
son was commenced. its use could not be
dispensed with. except at the risk of life.
Ladies, however, would discover that the
use Of cosmetics was injurious aud all
sensible females would abandon them.
They would discover that men might be
amused without respecting them. A wo-
man TO be respected must possess real
merit of mind and heart; without this,
mere beauty would ultimately fail to be
attractive. In conclusion. the lecturer
said. in all her wanderings from St. James
to St. Petersburg and from Paris to ln>
dia. she had invariably found that wo-
man with an unpublished mind and an un-
loving heart. whatever beauty she might
possess. would fail to securet the admira.
tion and respect of mankind. An elegant
and polished mind, sweetness of tenn per,
and an animated manner were the real
sources of woman's beauty.
