tainty and safety are twin sisters.
Love and affection are ualiSe in one
thing; affection should be the Tin ordS
nGire OF lie, love that curious EoueuI
called pdrtdit amour, which you take in
tiny glass Just after dinner. Then it ID
appreciated. its flavor is enjoyed, and
there is just enough 10 make life piouant-
Somebody said: "The history of love
would be the history Of HUMILITY; it
would be beautiful book to write" And
yet, with the exception OF a long-ago
writer, whoever has attempted 10 write
the history OF love has always made the
mistake of making e the history Of
woman. Why? Well, one is to be the
never-understood creation, the other the
never-to- be-analyzed emotion. But, after
all, this sermon on love l. bess summed
up by quoting what q clever man said long
ago (by the by, how much c.eVerer things
men say than women-that Is, how much
better worth remembering are the things
they saw: "a woman by whom we are
loved is a vanity; women whom we love
is a religion" There was one reason why
the smart New York woman looked well
and beautifully clean. For four DAYS be-
fore, at one time or another, at one bath
or another, she had been scrubbed and
rubbed, showered and sprayed, and came
out feeling herself like a new sort Of
flower prepared to look lis best
on Easter Sunday. I see the usual
wall about the society women breaking
down is going through the newspapers,
and it is as exactly untrue as that the
farmers wife leads an idyllio life. The
woman of the world Is as well taken care
OF as thoroughbred horse. She As rubbed
until her satiny skin CLOVIS, takes her beef
tea when she comes in at night, in the
place of warm mash, and while she en-.
Joys good dinner, she doesn't allow her,
self to eat too much or too often. She is
too wise to deyour quantities of sweets
and ices, and while she is very often the
wit, she is just as often the wisdom Of en-
afternoon tea, and she is the woman who
is going to look well when she is fifty OF
sixty because she does understand the art
of taking care of heTsslE
The Russian bath is her greatest help
in this, and once a week sees her re-
ligiously going through the ceremony,
making a dash into the plunge, being
sprayed until she gl0ws, Dund cd I'D N
blankets until she is thoroughly warm,
then rubbed dry, and out she comes look

she had cast OF q garment of dirt and was
in her right mind. Rider Not q bit OF
it, She has learned from the southern
women and the dogs that after her oath

the street, and if tie sun does put g
freckle or two on her lace il will make her
eyes clear and her skin healthy looking.

There Is an immense amount of encour-
