her cheeks glow with color; because her
hair blows about her face in bewilder-
ing but altogether pleasing confusion.
and because her eyes sparkle with pure
delight. She dresses well, of course.
1t is part Of her creed, and she does
not omit it when she goes a-Skatlng.
The dresses worn this year at the parks
are lot bright, but are of good>length
and well-tttihg. which. after all. are the
two most necessary points in skaters

color if bright red were more frequently
worn. AS it is the tout ensemble lacks
brlliancv and life. Except for an occa-
sional child's frock of scarlet, the Ice
seems really, as people so often say,
"black" with people. There is great
deal of fur used on the gowns, however,
and that is always most becoming.
One of the most attractive girls who
has graced the ice this winter wore a
long blue ulster, with two long capes
trimmed with Russian sable. Her hat
was of blue velvet, turned up in the
back, and with pink silk rose standing
up between a great AlSatian bow OF the
velvet.
No better models for skating dresses
could be adopted, however, than those
made for Princess Marie of Roumania as
a part of her rousseau. One was of
Zibeline diagonal cloth in two tones of
brown. The skirt, Stiffened with horse
hair, was trimmed in 1S30-style with
three bands of mink and two of velvet.
The full bodice had an Empire yoke,
pointed back and front. and bordered
with fur. A Recamier jacket was TO be
worn with this costume. 1t had a vel

The Very Pretty Concert OF a St.
Paul Writer.
There is many an old-time custom we
of later date would do we'll to revive.
One of the prettlest and most significant
OF these is that from which originated
the expression Sub rosa" Booth tells
us that the ancients hung up a rose at
entertainments as a token that nothing
there said was to be divulged.
At the present time, when flowers are
used in such profusion at all social
functions, would ii not be we'll to give
prominence to this Interpretation of the
beauteous rose? No other flower has
won such lavish praise from poets pen
or lovers tongue as this queen OF the
garden and meadow. We all agree with
these lines, Mature crowns the roses
stem with her choicest diadem." But
much as we admire this blossom, we
shall hold it doubly dear If its olden
meaning be once more understood by
all.
Let guests remember that the conf
dental talks between themselves and
hostess were held "under the rose," the
rose of friendly love and trust Have
YOU discovered things during a visit
which, if told your world, would injure
the reputation of friend or acquaint-
ance? You learned them while guest
under the rose. and nothing said under
the bright-hued petals OF loves blossom

roll that part of the body from knees to
waist around and around, in a sort of
Serpentine motion. Another exercise
which may be practiced freely and
beneficially is: Keep lower body from
waist downward perfectly firm; raise
the arms over head. roll the upper body
around, using the waist line as pivot.
This strengthens the waist muscles,
and removes tire fat from that region.

stopped from further development, and
all can be relieved" Further on he
says: Experience tells us that each
difficult heart disease must nearly al
ways be under the influence Of move

permanently good results" He of
course recommends great care as to the
exercises selected and the manner i'll
which they are performed.

all authorities on this subject.

best time to do this Is Immediately after
the morning wash.

New YORK, Feb. II, 1S93.-What an
age this is for the preservation of
beauty! The old traditions about early
rising and washing in May dew, etc.,
are entirely replaced by practical ad-
vice, which leads ladies who value their
appearances to polish themselves with
chamoiS leather, to eat oatmeal, to avoid
violent exercise, to take luke-Warm
baths and to do many things which
they openly aver they don't much
like doing, but then they are things
which are useful in retaining beauty.
That "beautyis only skin deep" seems
to have been realized with terrible dis
tinctness. only that women are not now
cOntented 10 repine at this fact; they
are taking every means OF practlcally
cOntradicting the assertion. Beauty is
a very precious gift. and the means
taken for keeping it are becoming more
numerous every day. In fact, they are
getting SO numerous that soon 1t Will be
only the hopeiessly ugly women that
will nave any time to spare from that
modern art known as the preservation
OF beauty.
The woman who would guard her del
icate skin from wrinkles Chose relent-
less enemies that leave their mark on
all, in spite of precautions and cos
metiques), must not give way TO too
much facial expression. Joy as well as
sorrow leaves its mark. No, this last
production of our advancing age, the
beauty preserver, must never be
much more than inWardly amused.
However much a joke appeals to her
she must only gently relax her lips,
those same lips having been carefully
rubbed with some softening and pre-
serving compound the night previous.
The woman who laughs heartily and
often has crows feet about the eyes.
That the bump of humor is but inditfer-
entity developed in the fair sex is then
an uudeniable aid to their fairness.
There should be no late lingering at
ball or solree. Even in the middle of

The parlor is made beautiful by
draperies and blossoms of rosy pink,
while hanging from the chandelier,
where all eyes must see it, cluster of
queenly roses Of the same shade smiles
its greeting at each guest.
Then there IS the glorious yellow rose
which lords it in the gold and
