A NEW VIEW OF BEAUTY.
Systematic Efforts to Be Beautiful
Insure Health.

Insure Health,
Before one OF the New York working
girls clubs, DR.. Louise Fiske Bryson
recently gave an address upon Beauty
as a Means of Health" While acknowl-
edging the impossibility of n pro-
tracted happiness without virtue, and
the maintenance of beauty's fine edge
without goodness. the doctor affirmed
that systematic efforts to be beautiful
will insure a fair degree of health. and
that happiness is the best safeguard
against vice.
THE BEAUTY OF BEAUTIES.
The difference in appearance between
n woman and another. it was stated,
is more than anything else an affair of
style-that beauty of beauties SO hard
to define and so eesy to recognize, which
makes the girl of no-colored hair, feat
ures OF Indifferent turn, and lines none
too perfect. infinitely more attractive
than other maids of fa~ultless curves and
1nnumerable strong points not cemented
by this magic quality.
STYLE DEFINED.
Style may be defined, for want of
something better to express it, as an at
tractlve manner of holding the body,
a hrm, graceful way of doing things

sign OF inherent power and reserve
force. 1t is the outcome of long, deep
DreathS and the use of many muscles.
The prayer of the New York child,
Lord, make US very Stylish" when
viewed Alright, is recognized as an as
plratlOn based upon sound scientific
principles and worthy of universal COM
mendation.
HOW GIRLS SHOULD BREATHE.
Proper breathing is the first art to
cultivate IN the pursuit of beauty. The
lungs have their own muscular power,
ant this should be exercised. The chest
must be enlarged by full, deep breath
Ing, and not by muscular action from
without. Initiate the lungs upward and
outward, as if the initiation were about
to lit the body off the ground.
GIRLS SHOULDN'T "DROOP."
Hold the shoulders on a line with the
hips, and stand SO that the lips, chin,
chest and toe come upon one line, the
feet being turned out at an angle of
sixty degrees. 1t is wrong to make the
bony structure do most of the work in
Keeping the body upright. The mus
Giles should hold it in position.
THE WAY GIRLS SHOULD WALK.
In walking, keep face and chest well
over the advanced foot. and cultivate a
1hSOs hihi, easy SdlJ, WlLuOuI IkdEu OE
Earring movements. 1t is impossible to
stand or breathe Alright if the feet are
plnched. When correct posture and
breathing are interfered with the circu-
lation is impeded, and deleterious sub
stances In the blood tend to make tue
complexion bad. This Is one of the
many evils of tight shoes.
EVERY GIRL SHOULD BE WELL sHoD.
To be well shod has a marked inf1u-
ence on style. The feet symbolic the
body in their way as much as the hands.
A clever shoemaker says that in a we'll
fitting shoe the human foot feels like a
ducks foot in the mud. 1t is held firmly
IN place, but nowhere compressed.
Nothing can exceed the vuIgarity and
hygienic wickednesS of a shoe that is
%1nanifestly too tight.
GIRLS SHOULD BE HIGH-MINDED.
Next TO the search for style pure and
simple as a means of health the care of
the complexion and the cultivation of
the right kind of expression are OF great
importance. The first is largely a mat
ter of bathing and the general hy-
glene of the skin, while the second a
good eXpreSslOn-is best secured by the
constant preference of higher thoughts
over lower ones. This is the essence
Of intellectual living, and is fortunately
within the reach of us all.
