Mrs. Haweis in her new book, Z" The Art of
Beauty" says 1t Is right for woman to paint il
1t is done in really artistic manner. She frank
ly expresses a belief that the chief duty of
woman is to attract admiration and retain it as
long as possible. For this end it is allowable to
use powder, patches, padding, or paint any
thing that will conceal deformity or enhance
good points. Touching the face with pink or
white is generally harmless, and, in some
cases, most necessary and decent practice"
Ii is an ''inexpressbly absurd and inconsistent
crank Of middle class society to object to an
honest girl using tinted powder, and persecute
her until che leaves off such praiseworthy
personal improvement" With regard to pad
ding it 10 much to be commended provided
dressmakers take care not to outrage nature by
putting ii in wrong places. If girl with dark
hair ''prefers to wear it yellow. it is nobody's
business to criticize her," II she likes to pluck
out her eye brows, il hurts no no one but her
self. Indifference to making the best of her
self is the only real CRIME, for it is neglect OF
clear duty.

EDITOR TRUE NoRTHERNER
In your Issue OF March Sth, you allow an
outsider to say: " The question has been
asked Is the Bible the inspired word of God -
And further on he says: TO believe the
Bible the inspired word OF God. requires the
greatest possible amount of credullty" He
says, Any one 80 believing. must think IN
circle, and must not dare to question, but mus,
let the clergy do the thinking" thereby
intimating that a believer in the Bible must
keep IN one eternal sound of thought. lot
daring to venture beyond the circumscrlbed
CIRCLE unless by permission OF the 80 called
clergy.
Perhaps this keen Outsider has not known
that there are individuals who are capable of
free thought and OF weighing arguments pro
and con- on various subjects-the authenticity
OF the Bible included. l am aware there are
those who prefer to let others think for them.
and who rely implicitly on the judgment Of
others, possessing as they suppose, superior
minds-and among them are included, not the
simple followers or the clergy alone, but the
faithful, credulous disciples OF Voltaire. Paine.
and Robert Ingersoll, and others of their class,
and the influence with which they repeat their
opinion Of those noted Infdels. show plainly
the amount of attention they have given their
writings, and l cannot but think if they had
not been so intent OIL disbelieving. and had
given as much time to the investigation of the
proofs OF the genuinness of the Bible. as they
have in endeavorng to destroy it. they would
have secured some knowledge that might have
benefited them.
Why is Outsider so anxious to disabuse or to
undeceive the public mind, who are supposed
to be governed by the teachings Of the Bible
Is it that such teachings are 30 heinous? Is 1t
that society is demoralized thereby? Where
could he go, on the face OF this earth. and find
better state OF morals. or q better code OF
lave, having their very foundation on the
laws OF this hated book? Where will he find
the highest culture? Ia it where the principles
OF the Bible are taught. or where they are
wholly unknown? Have the morals OF some of

Would the teachings OF that country become
