The Hungarian women are among the
most beautiful in the world. They are
not languishing, diaphanous creatures,
composed of cobweb5 and the odor of
,,uly y.; p;,r1, al
flush in their cheeks. No! Erect and
straight as candle, hearty and vigor-
GUS to the core, they are pictures of good
health and abounding vitality. They are
gifted with small feet, full arms, plump
hands with tapering fingers, and they
wear long braids. The sun has spread a
reddish-golden tint or darker tone over
the complexion. The Hungarian woman
is not beauty of classical contour, nor
does she perhaps frequently present
riddle to the psy ychologist. and ethereal
poets Will scarcely find a theme in her
for hypersentimental reveries. She is
rather the vigorous embodiment of
primeval womanhood.
AS her exterior, so her whole CHARGE
ter is enchantingly fresh and positive
She likes to eat well. is fond of little
wine, takes naturally to swimming,
dancing, gymnastics, and has not the
| least objection to being admired. Grace
and beauty know no difference between
high and low, and often bestow upon
poor, bare-footed, short-skirted peasant
| girl with her face framed in a kerchief
| tied under the chin the same enchant-
| ing form, the same graceful walk, the
same magically attractive glance as upon
| her more favored sister.
The greatest and first essential to
| physical perfection in woman is a figure
| without an angular line. Nature avoids
angular lines everywhere, but in the
human figure especially. A perfectly
formed woman will stand at the average
height of five feet three inches to five
feet seven inches. She will weigh from
125 to 40 founds.' A plumb line dropped
from point marked by the tip of her
nose will touch at point one inch in
front of her great toe. Her shoulders
and her hips will strike a straight line
drawn up and down. Her waist will
taper gradually to a size on line drawn
| from the outer third Of the collar bone
to the hips. Her bust will measure from
twenty-eight to ithirty-six inches, her
hips will measure from six to ten inches
more than this and her waist will call
for belt from twenty-five to twenty
eight inches. g aa a..
The arms ofSsthe perfectly formed
woman will end at the waist line so that
she can rest her elbow on the table while
standing erect, and her forearm should
extend to point permitting the fingers
to mark point just below the middle of
the thigh. Her neck and thigh should
be of about the same circumference.
The calf of her leg and arm should
measure about the same Her legs
should be about as long as line drawn
from her chin to her finger tips, or
about One-half her height, say from two
feet seven and half inches to two feet
nine and a half inches. She should
measure from her waist to her feet about
foot more than from her waist to the
crown of her head. Her neck should be
from twelve to fourteen inches around,
her head erect and on a line with the
central plane of her body, and her feet
should be of size and shape to conform
with her hands. Although sizes in foot
wear and gloves vary somewhat, we'll

Any woman who wishes to be social
success should cultivate the gift of re-
| membaring faces and names. A little
attention to the time, little care to fix
an individual by name and feature
in the memory, will bring it's sevenfold
reward. While some lucky people Dos
sess the facility naturally, and others
are wofully deficient in this respect, still
it can be cultivated, so that study will
supply the lack of memory, and the
social aspirant may assume virtue
though she have it not"
'No one can fancy the trouble it gives
me to be unable to remember faces and
Names" said we'll known leader in
