thing else toward identifying the
face. and with little more care there is
no reason why it should not be 4 perfect
BACKGROUND, relieving and intensifying all
the other features. The Roman ladies
were wise in their generation, for they
fully realized what is often forgotten to-
day-that if beauty is a heritage it is
one also that may be improved and in
creased. one is almost tempted to say, ad
minimum An evidence of this fact is
afforded by a casket belonging to a cele..
brated collection of antiquities, in which
are not only articles for personal adorn-
ment, but everything that could conduce
to identifying the person.
Boxes of this description were made of
handsomely carved wood, and were said
to be conceived by Venus, who gave its
contents to womankind with the proviso
that they should be rigidly kept secret.
An impure complexion is often caused by
rich and indigestible food, too much eX-
posture to the weather, or insufficient eX-
ercise If the skin is pale and looks as if

A woman may be as beautiful as Helen
of Troy and as alluring as the serpent of
the Nile, yet if she be not cheerful she is
altogether incapable of winning and keep
ing affection after it is won. This old
world is on the lookout for all that is
bright and gay. There is so much of sor-
row lurking in every corner that we want
to turn our backs upon it whenever we
can; therefore, a woman to be appre-
ciated in home and social life must be ike
4 ray of sunshine rather than a cloud, no
matter how beautiful that cloud may be.
We women are so apt TO be depressed
by rainy days and other outside influences
that really should not have the power to
oampen the tone Of our spirits. suppose
the weather is gloomy and we get up feel
certain that we are in for a very severe
case of the blues Now if we have a
mind to we can fight of those cerulean
horrors and make ourselves and everyone
about US feel better and brighter, instead
of gloomy and depressed.
Many woman has been heard to say:
81 have the blues dreadfully to-day, and
yet l don't know what for, I'm sure. :"

spirits when little energy will dispel IL.
There are many real causes for down
heartedness, i'll health, the loss of friends,
and the numerous trials that come into
every life, and which are heart sorrows
that are not talked of openly Yet even
these can be lived down, and we can cul-
tivate a seeming cheerfulness that after a
time loses its artifciality and brings
with it a tendency to look on the bright
rather than the dark Side of life. The
Optimist is popular; therefore, encourage
a spirit of cheerfulness, for with it all ills
grow less and every burden becomes
easier to beer.
