BEAUTY AND DIET.
LAWS WHICH ALL DAUGHTERS OF
EVE SHOULD ALWAYS OBEY.


metics Used to Patch Up Iarred Beauty.
4 Suggestion or So.
Flesh texture and tint perform most
important function in female beauty.
To preserve and improve them demands
the strictest observance of sanitary laws.
y bad skin, lacking tint, plumpness
and elasticity, indicates want of good
ness in the vital or nutritive system.
Diet, digestion, temperature, open air
exercise, sleep and tranquility of mind
are absolute necessities to every woman
who wishes to keep her youth.
is to diet, it is only necessary to ask
what does the average American girl
eat: She sits down to a potato and a
pickle, three or four cups Of strong tea,
pics, cakes, sweets and fiery condiments.

THREE SIMPLE RULES.
The once famous beauty, Lola Montez,
was heard to say the only real secret of
preserving beauty lay in three simple
things-temperance, exercise and cleanli-
ness.
Peppered soups and stews, game pat
ties, ragouts and spices even moderately
INDUCED in will exercise deteriorating
effects upon delicate complexion.
Women who do not restrain their gas
tronomic propensities will acquire before
80 he.heated, blotched face we are wont
to associate with ''high living" while
the firm texture of the flesh and the
supple shape will soon be replaced by
fabby softness and scraggy leanness.
During my few years Of rather broad
and v3riegated experience studying
beauty and the habits Of its fair pos
SCISSORS, have known only one who for
series Of years accustomed herself to
late hours, constant excitement, brain
work and censurable feasting without
erasing every trace of beauty. / saw her
looking as dainty as an ivory Isis after
eight years of such perilous self treat
ment as shudder to describe. Physi-
clans consider the case unique.
Women of nervous and sangulne tenn
permanent should restrict themselves to
q diet of eggs, milk, bread, salads, fruit,
light broths and the crustacea. They
should accustom themselves to drinking
aerated and natural mineral spring wa
ters, avoiding spices and condiments,
delicious and tempting as these fiery de-
lights may be. lii the matter OF diet,
the blonde is, by force Of physiological
tendencies, constrained to stern self de-
NAL at table. It is an old saw among
doctors that blue eyes, HaXen hair and
the pink and white face mean struma.
Struina is & pretttier word than serofula,
but the condition is the same and quite
as troublesome. These inflammable tenn
peramcnts are congestlve. catarrhal,
gouIT, and tea, coffee, UNDERGONE Deer,
oily food, spices, alcoholic beverages and
opiiates concur to produce general un-
healthy action Of the skin il dryness:
pimplcs, blotches and discolorations.
Continents, malt and spirituous drinks
and tincture of iron tnlcEen the blood,
giving it color and constituency. The
philosophy contained in the advice OF
the expert in skin troubles to lady who
consulted him in reference to red nose,
upon hearing her habit to be q nightly
tipple Of whisky and water, ''leave out
the water and your nose will soon be
purple" is as old as it is reliable.
EFFECTS OF TEMPEEATURE.
\ case which came under my imme-
diate observation was that Of an ashen
blonde whose skin was as fair and Opaque
as white lead, and whose hair was unre
ieved by one amber gleac. After an
attack Of typhoid fever, which, by the
way, is an effective purifier of the sys-
TEN without being more dangerous than
many Of the advertised complexion rem
ed;cs. she was restored by iron tonics
and LIQUOR, and the element these intro
duced into the blood dyed her cheeks
crimson I'd her new suit Of hair q rudy
gold. There are temperaments which
are irritated by fish, buckwheat and hot
breads. Hives, sore eyes and annoying
skin disturbances are the outgccwth OF
their use.
For the slender, bilious brunette, whose
blood is thin and whose temperament IS
watery, o free diet Of rnderdonc beef
and port wine should replace the severe
regimen Of tire blonde. Tints, rather
than colors, arc beautiful, and o blonde
Of the rudy type should exercise care in
selecting tonics. Those containing REQ
wine and iron color the skin to an ugi,:

labels claim. When it is necessary to

a month will furnish the blonde with
strength without increase Of pigment.
