for the lily-skinned maiden. and openly
deplored the vulgarity OF hearty red
cheeks as becoming only to milkmaids
and the gardeners daughter. That may
be all very well in poems and novels; but
among the stern realities Of her life the
smart young woman prefers a high. clear
color. that owes nothing 10 art. but ev-

only don't be afraid of rain and snow, but
go out in the storms. Wear goloshes,
macintosh, a glazed hat; but do not car
~ an umbrella. Take the snow and rain
into your face; that's good for the skin.
Don't let a grain of sugar pass your lips.
Drink your tea unsweetened and Favored
only with slice OF lemon. Bonbons. des-

must be refused utterly. Also never,
never. drink drop of any fluid with your
meals; avoid Ice water as If 1t were poison

bread, sleep eight hours, and don't touch
a drop of any medicine, or I'll not treat

the nest, as you call il. some time after
the last of next week. Wen be there.
"Whatr exclaimed the old lady. Are
you to be married next week, and the
invitations not yet out?"
Yes, we're to be married, but there
