that herb teas induce sleep and regu-

I think, too, that woman gets a

makes herself prettier by aiding her

gets exercise for her arms By dressing
her own hair and by buttoRing her

emphatic believer in the corset, and
do not think that q woman who goes
without one during a part OF the day
can expect her figure to retain the
shapeliness which is the standard of
beauty to-day.
This is recognized even by artists.

my figure was just right for a model of

about the corset, although 1 have al

A woman should wear always shoes
that fit the feet snugly and we'll She
should get plenty of sleep. She should
eat all she can hold of easily digested
food, and she should be constantly in
state which is known nowadays as
''well groomed." All these things she
must do if she wants to be pretty

Then, if she is an actress, she need
only bring out the high lights of her
face before she goes behind the foot

she has but TO rub her cheeks into rosi-
ness, bite her lips into redness and light
en- up the shadows OF her face, and she
will be beautiful without the veneer of
enamel and the fresco of rouge pot and
powder, too often made necessary by
bad grooming.
I have read in the newspapers that
sweet-voiced Minnie Hauk does not be-

face for ten years, and that lovely
Jennie Lind bathed in water preserved

those of the states in which there were

great pointed revers falling over tho
sleeves, and cut in notches and curved
revers all around the neck. 1t falls
away from the shoulder just enough to
suggest the soft curve of them. That

cut-low enough to suggest round,
babyish, sloping shoulders.

they were regarding it. This particular
one, of pale green light cloth, had a
long Vatican back, as a tea gown might
have, but fell straight down the front,
as tea gown might not fall 1t was
lined with ermine, as the very latest ex-
travagances of the tea gown variety from
Paris are lined, and it was edged
down the front with white fur. Tea
gowns are not behind in the matter of
magnifcence. They have kept up with
every other form of gown, and very
handsome one OF this description may
be procured for pretty penny. The
big, loose sleeves ere also lined with
fur, and milady is in no danger of catch

robes. To be sure, one needn't be quite
so extravaganza, and still present Won
drously attractive picture in a pretty
gown of soft wooden material in deli
cate color. Fur adds SO much richness
to the effect that it is well to have
few bands of 1t, if the purse will per-
nit. These comfortable garments are
made, as rule, with loose effects hang
ing from square yOkes, and with the
looseness lightly confined at the waist.
The fur looks very effective across the
line where the yoke and fullness join,
around the neck, and the wrists, and If
you can afford another band to catch
down the full puff of the sleeve, and
another at the feet, you viii do well.
Especially is the result good when both

Already there seems to be a touch of

with viOlets in hat, looking bright and
blooming. Two walked together yes

crocuses that are just preparing to lift
their heads.
The first one was clad in palest gray.
A little above the edge of her skirt, all
around, were laid great stars of black
velvet, that stood out most stril<ingly.
She wore long triple cape of pale
gray, each division of which was edged
with dark mink. Her palegray hat had
single touch of yellow in it.
The girl that walked with her wore
skirt of dull-blue bengaline, with the
cords running around. and with an edge
of mink. Her cape was exactly like the
other girls, only that its color was
very pale cream and its material
heavy, fine cloth. II, likewise, was all
edged with mink. Her hat was a big
