Girls take this advice to heart, and
content. But let them also bear in
mind the condition which this eXper' at
taChes to their success condition )re-
cedent-viz: TO have an erect carnage.
A stoOp in the shoulders Is fatal to TALL
figure, and it restricts your choice OF
hat. No matter how she may tower above
ordinary mOrtals, q woman must keep
her figure straight. Better r2mrOd
stiffness than that terrific stOOp, which IS
quite enough to destroy the beauty of an
angel. No mirror or set of mirrors can
give a tall woman a correct idea of her
ungainIiness when this dreadful bend in
the shoulders has taken posses sion OF
her. If she has unhappily acquired it,
she should extend her headgear back
ward as far rs possible.
A man once made the discovery that
he was spending One-third of his exist
ence shaving, bathing, dressing and un-
dressing himself. Fhe thought SO
agOnizing that he proceeded to commit
suicide. But whether it requires one
third or one-haIf Of a re lily fashion bile
wOman's time to care properly for her
toilet, she must give it; and no woman,
MARI ed or single, rich or poor, young or
old, can afford to neglect her personal ap-
pearance. Many men of excessively neat
habits present q careless and neglected
exterior. We excuse it in them, some
times but in a woman, never.
Well, to quit generalities and come
down to something specific, what is there
that 8 woman should be more careful of
than her complexion? Nothing, Beauty
is only skin deep-absolutely only skin
deep; for given the features of a Psyche.
they would count as nothing under bad
complexion. Nature seems to be WI ing
to give woman almost anything rather
than a perfect complexion. Good ones
are common, but perfe ct-ah, perfect
Ones-they are usually kept by the lodsy
for their own family. But what nature
fails to give, m y art supply? In mod
Said Tinon' de TFncIos. as sbe reached
out for her powder puff:
Now, I'm going to put just suspicion
of springtime on my cheeks.
Ninon it will be remembered, had the
reputation of being beauty away along
in the sixties; but very likely she was
painted and powdered old preserve. " hat
I am going ta0 commit myself to IS the
assertion that a harmless face powder
helps some compilations out wonderfully.
Psyche herself would fold her wings and
90 out of business if she discovers that
her nose had a shiny look. So when you
get your new hat or bonnet on, just wine
your face over with powdered rice, pull
verified chalk, or any of the simple pow
uers sold by the druggists. Don't leave
any OF the whiting on, but merely employ
it to deaden the gloss, and you will thus
make your Yisage harmonic with the
chic of your fresh millinery.
Berry Wall, eX-king of the dudes. was
once asked how he was so successful in
keeping his trousers from bagging at the
knees.
"By simply ordering half dozen pair
with each coat and We t, was his reply.
And yet men cry out ag inst woman's
extravaganza. The question is of en-
asked "Wh It is the smallest mum Der of
dresses that a really swell woman can get
along with?" Well, she must have at
least one dishabile, two costumes for
calls. two for dim rs, two ball ,resses,
one travelling dress, md one knOckauout
for shopping. That makes nine. Moth
ing so fe rfulIy extrayagant in hat, re-

$1,000. My husbands club expenses
