rub over her teeth, making them as
white as milk, and causing her breath to
be as sweet as clover. The lady who in
duced Henry VIII to be unfaithful to his
wife Anne Boleyn always bathed in
pure water, and the man who wished to
get favor from the king, accompanied
him to the favOrite's bath room, carrying
with him a silver cup; then, leaning over
the edge Of the tub, he filed the cup with
the water in which the BEAUTY lay, and
drank it off to the queens health. This
was only water. Probably it would have
been more enjoyed if the bath had been
like that which was taken by the woman
who ruled the heart of Alexander / of
Russia She bathed in Malaga wine and
after she was through the wine was re-
bottled and sold at high prices.
LOOK SLEEK AND WELL GRooMED.
However, to return to ones self, yon
understand what l mean when l say that
to keep beautiful, the first virtue TO be
cultivated is cleanliness. OF course,
there are various grades even of this
virtue, and the beautiful woman, while
she must look as sleek and well groomed
as a thoroughbred, must never give the
impression that she has been scrubbed
with a heavy brush: that she has used
common soap or that which is too highly
perfumed. The woman who washes her
face until it shines always suggests 10 the
masculine eye, sharp, red elbows and
knees. A face may glow with sympathy
or delight, but not with soap. A pure
soap, unperfumed, is most desirable for
| daily use. Then if you love, as do, the
sweet Odor, it can be obtained by small
sachets, fastened in the lingerie, a drop
or two of fine perfume just back of the
ears, about the throat, on the backs Of
the hands and above the eyebrows, but
never on a handkerchief. That must
come out of perfumed case, and only
suggest whiteness and care.
The woman who preferred to have a
dressing-room rather than parlor, when
it was only possible for her to have one of
the two, is the woman who realizes the
value of good looks and means to retain
them. A woman is never charming when
she looks ridiculous, and she does this
when she is crimping her hair, when she
is smoothing her face with a little rice
powder, or when she is in a seml-undreSs
tnat is not becoming to her. Probably
the best explanation can give of the un-
desirability of dressing before anybody,
except, Of course, ones maid. is to quote
from book written by a French woman,
who was beauty and a coluet herself,
and whose husband adOred her. She
said: 1T has always seemed the most
marvellous thing to me that rather stout
woman, with OYer-deVclOped legs ana
swollen ankles could hurt herself so
much. could be so unkind to herself, as
to walk about her room before her hus-
band in a short petticoat. How can she
feel surprised after making such a show
of herself if she sees his eyes follow the
graceful fluctuations of the 1.-the, supple
form Of some woman who is tall and slen-
der l once saw a young married woman
tie up her short, scanty hair with dirty
bit of ribbon, so that it looked like a
hideous little broom. After permitting
him to see this, she grew very jealous of
the admiration her husband expressed
for woman who had a suit of long and
| beautiful hair"
THE DREssING-ROoM HOLY GROUND.
This tells better than 1 could why the
dressing-roOm should be a holy of holes,
into which, except when madame is in
most attracting neglige, no man should
be allowed TO enter. By-the-bye, a very
pretty motto is over the dressinR-room OF
a friend Of mine; in letters of pink and
gold one reads, Sweetheart, l do i'm

Everywhere, from our physicians or
