they inherit genius when they are adopts in
their profession. The French nation styles
them ''artistes," and they are truly 50, as
they require discerning eye for harmon
izing colors when brought into tuxteposi-
ton with the hair and complexion.
Much has been said of the futility of
painting the lily or adding color to the
rose, but the fair daughters Of Eve smile iu-
credulously At this, and seek its refutation
by submitting themselves to the iudicious
manipulation Of skilled and accomplished
high priestesses of art in personal adorn-
ment, and thereby derive aa intense and
laudsbe satisfaction in finding themselves
beautified and rendered more lovely, fasci-
mating aud attractive.

society, but mankind. and high honor Is due
to those who successfully employ it.
