BEAUTY OF EXPRESSION.


A scientific journal has been insti.
tn ting a crusade against the cosmetic
cult as applied to the preservation oil
beauty, and insists that the desired
end can be attained much more effect
ualiy by the carrying out of right ideas
in living and feeding. Women who
would retain ithe beauty with which
they have been endowed should avoid
peppered soups, stews, game pates.
ragouts and spices. Women of ner-
vous and sanguine temperament
should restrict themselves to a diet of
eggs, milk, bread. fruit, light broths,
and crustacea. Malt and spirituous
LIQUORS should be let severely alone,
might cap,n and tonics containing
drugs are so harmful to the COM
plexion that they should not
be tempered with, but only re-
sorted to by medical advice. Most OF
the discomforts suffered by the hu-
man race, however, are due to errors
in food, and a mild and discreet diet,
when combined with a gentle temper

else, sleep and a tranquil mind. will
soon do more than the most subtly
compounded wash ever devised by the
dermatologist. Frequent bathing is
a healthful luxury, especially with
the addition of sea salt. Bodily ex-
ercise shonld be always temperate, it's
aim being facile muscles, supple joints
and pii ant limbs. Excessive gymnas-
tics make the joints prominent, as in
the case OF the tennis elbow Com
paraIively few women know how to
walk, and SO lose a great deal OF the
benefit to be derived from exer-
else. One shainbles, another slouches,
as if her shoes were down at
the heel. But most of them drive,
straining every muscle in their bodies,
ploughing along with labored effort
like a ship in a high sea and facing
head winds. Five minutes instruc-
ton in stage walk, properly observed,
would rectify every bit of this. A per-
ceptible swing of the body should be
manifest, and with every step, all of
one side should be advanced at the
same time, with a slight turn right or
left of tue shoulders as the cores
ponding foot is projected. A long
step-not a stride-should be taken,
easy and unhurried, and the leg
should be thrown forward from the
hip; this is the secret of the ideal
gait.
A writer on the subject of the scien-
tific preservation of beauty says that
the issues on which it finally depends
lie deeper than even in physical cul-
ture; the highest beauty is the beauty
of expression. and the highest Guilt
walton of this requires the crushing
out of envy, hatred, malice and all
low motives and paSsions.-SpeciGt

The gas burned low. Her slender
fingers hung to his for moment. She
stood directly under the gas jet, upon
which some one, in anticipation of
the morrow, had hung a sprig of mis-
tletoe.

She looked so pretty, SO innocent, IN

Yes. it was an ungentlemanly and
unmanly thing to do. Her fright

Her great eyes filled with tears and
she gave a little choking sob when he

Dear little innocent" he thought,

And. she-after he was gone-she
dropped into a great chair and sobbed.
Like him? / love him. And to
think that he should kiss me at last,
