We have accepted the
Greek type of beauty as perfect, and the de-
grees of beauty all over the civilized world
are decided by this infallible standard.
What is more exquisite than marble
Venus?-unless it be the Venus viviied
with color in her lips and light in her ewes,
playing tennis or dancing to one of Strauss
waltzes, when she is not only exquisite, but
enhancing.
Form is most important. Coloring and
fine skin will not make fine face strictly
beautiful unless the features are regular
and the head and face of perfect contour.
The eyes should be set horizontally, hay.
ing neither an upward nor downward in
clination, not too far apart, nor too close to-
/ gether. The nose should be placed at an
even distance between the eyes, joining the
| forehead in subtle curve, the lower por-
| tion straight, to emphasize the surrounding
curves of the cheeks and lips. The "moutR
like Cupid's bow" is very beautiful, per
haps the most beautiful in girls face, but
there Is another mouth which vies with it,
where the lips, boldly curved, but not
turned upward at the corners meet in an
expression of dignity and sweetness. The
under lip should always be a little fuller
than the upper.
THREE ESSENTIALS.
The distance from the eyes to the tip Of
the nose, and from there to the chin. should
each be one-fourth the length of the face;
the mouth should be set at one-third the
length OF the nose and chin; the chin should
taper slightly to form an oval outline Of
face.
Nevertheless, with features which do not
come up to the ideal, girl will be con-
sidered pretty" if she has smooth, clear
skin; bright, animated eyes, and good
teeth
These are the three essentials. It is in
eVerybody's power to possess them, unless
suffering from an incurable disease.
In regard to eyes, they can be improved
to wonderful degree by care. The beauty
sleep, which is secured before midnight, Is
OF the greatest Importance. In the morning
the eyes are perfectly rested, and if short
walk in the fresh, bracing air is taken for 15
minutes before breakfast they are left clear
and sparkling. Battle the eyes in cold water
every morning, keeping the lids shut.
There is no excuse in these days of per-
fected dentistry for ugly teeth. whether dis
colored or crooked. Unless discolored by a
long-continued use of medicines, they can
be cleaned by dentist, and if crooked thev
can be Strengthened. Clean teeth and clean
nails are significant marks of refinement.
Never neglect them. The teeth should be-
brushed two or three times day and always
on retiring. know of no tooth powder
better than plain, camphorated chalk used
with little white CASTLE soap.
FRICTION FOR THE COMPLEXION.
In regard to the complexion, a skin spe-
cialist says: "a certain amount of friction
applied to the face daily will do much to
keep the pores open and prevent the forma-
ton OF black and red spots, so common in
young people. l generally direct that the
face be rubbed to a degree short of discom-
fort and that the towel be not too rough" Z"
The same authority advises the use of soap
IN washing the face, but it must be good
soap. Be particular regarding the quality.
and never mind the scent Cheap soap, Der.
fumed to hide It's. rancid qualities, has done
more toward running compilations than any
thing else. An hours rapid exercise every
day will give color to the cheek like that
of a blush rose. Skating is an excellent
pastime for health and beauty.
The arrangement of the hair has much tn
do with the general appearance of woman's
face. People with loEg faces should never
part the hair in the center, while it improves
a woman with face remarkably short. 1t
IS better, however, not to part the hair at
all. Ii naturally wavy, let it fall as it will.
shading the edge OF the forehead There
are not many women with hair of this order.
which will give the classic, softening effect
we notice in Grecian statues, but q very
similar one can be obtained by cutting
small portion of the front hair, curling IL
loosely and letting it lie in love locks on
the brow. This custom is carried to an
ugly extreme in the thick, straight bang
which many women wear almost to their
brows If 1t were their intention to oblit-
crate any intelligence they possess in ex-
preston they could not hit upon a better
fashion than the bang at its worst. A beau
tiful ear should be twice as long as It ia
broad; it should incline slightly backward
and lie close against the head at the uppeP
point. For ears that project in an unsiehtlv
manner there appears to be no remedy.
BUYING DIMPLEs.
A high authority on art states somewhere
that it is strange that dimples so admired in
these days are not portrayed in any antioue
ideal of any consequence handed down to
us. Can it be that the old masters saw no
beauty in dimpies? 1t seems unlikely. for
there is certain roguishness in a dimple
III PoSSAOAe W AeelsS. - teacner once said
to me:
''You see that little girl in the corner? Il
is by an effort that 1 bring myself to punish
her when. she does wrong, for when she
looks at me with faint, regretful smile
and the dimples come and go in hen cheeks
want to kiss her instead"
Our modern bellies have realized this
fact, and cry: "Hey, for a dimple Can
it be bought?" Yes, maidens of Gotham.
it can be bought. Have you 500 to paw for
a dimple? If so, 60 forthwith and buy II.
for somewhere in this town, and no doubt
in many others, you will find a physician
who will make dimple in your cheek. in
your shoulder, in your arm for S1OO apiece.
once saw a woman who had dimple near
the left corner of her mouth which She had
purchased for that sum.
By very skiilful operation little piece
of the muscle had been taken away. and the
result was dimple which seemed perfectly
