Cleopatra. For this. he suggested the eat
ing on both sides of the mouth, a some
thing 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, US well as for
the rest of the body. But their bath must
consist in the careful dabbing 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 beautiful parts OF the
human body. the ear, which should be as
pink as shell inside, and as pearly as one
on the outer side. with the little tip just
pink, is made ugly by the wearing of ear
rings, 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 attention called to it by
jewel so that there is no excuse for the
existence of the hideous pendant, and
nothing is more vulgar than the enormous
diamond solitaires affected so much, l
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-bye, belonging 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 pos
| sible when one has to use the hands i'll
| daily labor Manicured once week, never

| keeping the hands as they should be.
Every hand may not be beautiful, but
every hand may be well cared for. A tight
glove should never be worn, for, when
they are removed, the hand is red. A tight
| shoe ruins the shape of the foot, and
makes the wearer walk badly. Tight stays
are uncomfortable and unhealthy, and
make the nose red. In fact, it may be said
of the human body, that it gives you ex-
actly the treatment that you give 1t, but
thar it is rigorous in its revenges, and,if you
ill-treat it, il will give an outward visible
sign OF your cruelty.
