emphatic believer IN the corset. and
do not think that a woman who goes
without orc during a part Of the day
can expec. her figure 10 retain the
skapeliness which Is the standard Of
beauty to-day.
This is recognized even by artists.
When was approached on the subject
of the Montana statue was told that
my figure was just right for model OF
Liberty. and nothing at oil was said
about the corset. although / have al
ways worn ono.
A woman should wear always shoes
that ft the feet snugly and well She
should get plenty Of sleep. She should
eat all she can hold OF easily digestcd
food. aud she should be constantly in a
state which is known nowadays MS
well groomed-" All these things she
must do il she wants 10 be a pretty
woman
Then. IL she Is an actress. she need
only bring out the high lights OF her
face before she goes behind the foot
lights. And If she is society woman
she has bat 70 rub aer checks into rosi-
ness. bite her lips into redness and light
en- up the shadows OF Ecr 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-
lieve in water for the toilet. that the in
comparable Patti has not washed her
face for ten wears. and that lovely
Jennie Lind bathet in water preserved
from the melting OF April snow. But
when read these things | sprinkle
them with a great Ilany grains OF
doubt, for do not believe that beau
tifai and talented woman can hold her
own in the eyes of the public without
attention 70 the laws of hygiene and
common sense.
