chapped and white, may be rubbed on
them, will heal them, and keep them
looking fresh until they are well again.
Paints, powders, and what are generally
known as cosmetics, are of very little use.
They may do to help some one who has
lost beauty; they should never be used to
keep beauty. People who ask how cheeks
are to be kept plump, are advised to fol-
low the advice given by physician who
lived in the days of Cleopatra. For this,
he suggested the eating on both sides Of
the mouth, a something that very few
people do. BY getting into this habit,
the cheeks are evenly plump, and the
teeth are evenly good.
1t is queer to me how few women
realize that to keep bright and healthy
eyes, bath is required for them, as well
as for the rest of the body. But their
bath must consist in the careful dabbling
of them with soft linen rag an old
handkerchief is very good, that has been
dipped in rather warm water. This must
be gently done, for the eyes will stand no
rough handling. One of the most beauti-
full parts of the human body, the ear,
which should be as pink as a shell inside,
and as pearly as one on the outer side,
with the little tip just pink, is made ugly
by the wearing Of earrings, one Of the
remnants of barbarism that still exists
A beautiful ear does not need Jewel in
it an ugly one does not need to have at
tention called to it by a Jewel so that
there is no excuse for the existence of the
, hideous pendant, and nothing is more
vulgar than the enormous diamond soil
taires affected so much, / regret to say,
by American women. / wish every
woman who wears them would agree with
me- and withdraw the rings from her
ears, and have the gems set in ornaments
of some other shape.
WHEN JEwELRY LOOKS RIDICULOUS.
Almost as offensive as the wearing of
the earring, is the loading of the hands
with rings. Rings, by-the-by, belong to
women who have long, slender hands.
Dimples are sufficiently ornamental for
those who have short, plumpy ones Very
little care is. after all, required to keep
the hands white and smooth, and this is

good soap, a good brush and a soft towel,
constitute at once the treatment and the
tools for keeping the hands as they should

REMEMBER ALL THIS, MADAME.
You remember / said that this was not

gossip. But, curiously enough it was
suggested by a man who wrote me a let

requisites TO make a woman lovely

plenty of good food, and plenty Of happi-

drawing down the corners; malice, which
looking for faults, contracts the eyes
and Observation-Disclosures, which, eager to
make itself heard, causes the voice TO be
shrill and hard; while hatred, well,
hatred simply makes YOU hideously ugly.
So, added TO my cosmetics, there must be
something else, there must be goodness.
There must be shine from the face, as
there does from the sun itself, blessing
