BEAUTIFUL WOMEN.

DLA u 1T ~ VVML Ns
/ All women know that it is beauty, rather than
genius, which all generations of men have wor-
shipped in the sex. Can it be wondered at, then,
that so much of womans time and attention
should be directed to the means Of developing
and preserving that beauty. Women know too
that when men speak of the intellect of women,
they speak critically, tamely, coolly, but when
they come to speak of the charms of Q beautiful
woman, their language and their eyes kindle
with an enthusiasm which shows them to be pro
foundry, if not, indeed, ridicousy in earnest. II
/ is part OF the natural sagacity of women to per
ceIve nj this, and therefore employ every allow
able art to become the goddess of that alteration.
Preach to the contrary, as we may, against the
arts employed by women for enhancing their
beauty, there still stonds the eternal fact, that
the world does not prefer the society of ugly
woman Of genius to that of beauty of less in
| tellectual requirements. The world has let al
lowed no higher mission to women than to be
/ beautiful, and it would seem that the ladies Of
| the persent age are carrying this idea of the
world to greater extremes than ever, for all wo-
men now to whom nature has denied tslismsn ic
power OF beauty, supply the deficiency by the use
of a most beautiful toilet article known as the
"Bloom of Youth" which has been lately intro
duoed into this country by GEORGE W. LAIRD, q
delicate beautiher, which smooths ont all linden
tations, burrows, scars, removing tan, freckles,
| and discolorations from the skin, leaving the
complexion clear, brilliant, and beautiful, the
skin soft and smooth. With the assistance Of
this new American trick of Lsdy's toilet, female
beauty is destined to play larger par: in the
admiration of men and the ambition Of women
than all the arts employed since her creation.
Prof O. F. Chandler, Chemist to the MetropoIi-
tan Board of Health, has recently prepared
chemical analysis of this delightful toilet prep
aration, and reported that the "Bloom of Youth
was harmless, containing nothing injurious to
the health. Ladies need have no fear of using
this in valuable toilet acquisition.
