The audience that greeted Nine. Yale,
the queen of beauty, at the metropolitan
opera house yesterday afternoon, though
not large one. consisted of number
of seekers after beauty, who listened to
the remarks of the lecturer OH "How 10
Become Beautiful" with very great at
tention. In the first part of her lecture,
in which she emphasizes the necessity
of paying greater attention To the devel-
opment of the physical system. Nine.
Yale appeared on the stage i'll tights,
and, if culture in this direction will do
for women what it has for her (as she
went on 10 prove that it would), the eff
fort, no matter how great, is certainly
worth while. The lecturer laid great
stress upon the need of development in
he case of children before they are
placed in school. where the mental fac
ultieS are very frequently developed at
the expense of the half-grcwn little
bodies.
Nine. Yale went on to explain that the
effort must be made from 4 scientific
standpoint, and by having exercise sEs-
temaIically she thinks the most broken
down woman can improve in short
time. AS she remarked, emphatically,
Good health is the first thing neces-
sary to make life perfectly happy"
The corset evil came i'll for large
share of attention, and the awful pict-
ure she drew of the corseted woman
was certainly enough to brighten the
most devoted adherent of this barbarous
custom into burying her small-waisted
gowns and dOnning tea-gown for
evermore.
Talking about women making the
best of themselves and all the beauty
nature had given them, Nine. Yale
said: 1T is the religious duty of
every mother to teach her child
to cultivate natural beauty, just as it is
her own duty TO make the best of her
self. The cosmetic art has its place, but
"A4NA hlAllhtSu Olu hOlUcll CONEl
faces with paint and powder they make
themselves ridiculous" She quoted
the case of Chicago woman aged sixty
who looks about thirty, and Nine. Yale
herself, although forty-one, certainly
does not look more than twenty-five
This she explained was entirely due to
the care she takes of herself. She is a
great believer in very frequent bathing,
and besides this she herself uses her
own preparations, and keeps her system
generally in good. healthy condition.
Before changing her costume she
illustrated what it meant to breathe
properly, and showed the ladies simple
exercise TO develop the lungs and bust.
She also emphasized the necessity of
walking properly, and instead Of tread
ing on the heel first she advocates the
plan of allowing the toe to touch the
ground first and then the heel.
She delivered the latter part of her
lecture in Il very elaborate evening gown,
which showed off her uncorSeted and
perfectly graceful figure to perfection,
She spoke of the overwhelming amount
of sickness existing among people of
the present day, and said she thought
there was absolutely no necessity, if
only an ordinary care be taken. She
undertakes with her remedies to cure
all kinds of skin diseases, and says
without hesitation that the eplainest-
looking woman can make herself more
presentable, and by perseverance even
beautiful, if she tiles.
Madame Yale closed her talk by in
wiling the ladies present to call upon
her at her temple of beauty, and be
presented with a picture Of herself.
