"To be as good looking as possible, and
TO be physically well, one must, in gen.
eral, be happy" is one of the tenets of a
gospel of health recently preached by an
authority. Another, a Frenchwoman,
goes even further and forbids weeping,
sulking or getting angry, as foes TO beauty
and inviters of wrinkles and dishguring
lines in the face. Vanity. undoubtedly,
impels much Of the enthusiasm over
bygienic matters among women, but one
can forgive the cause in the advantageous
effects. Habits strike in. A woman who
tnds it is not good form to get in a rage
watches herself that she does not at least
betray that she Is in one. and presently
the calm expression in reflex action be-
gets a calm spirit.
