The author considers that it is every.
,ne's duty to look as we'll as possible,
Tor the body is but the outward symbol
Of the real and Utmost self. Therefore
the reader should think neither of
sgotism or vanity when they read these
chapters, as they are simply the authors
Dwn experience. Every thought cast out
b the result of deliberate observation,
bvery law laid down has been tested to
the extent OF it's reasonable capabilities.
The author gives opinions on natural
and artificial types of lovliness, and her
science is science that teaches physi-
cal perfection. Her receipt for COM
plete bodily splendor is indeed worth
careful study, as it combines a study OF
Greek models for the head, English for
the complexion, Austrian for the
bosom, American for the finger nails,
Hindoostanee for the feet and Spanis b
tor tbs gait The author gives a very
pleasant talk on the nutritive or
vital system, diet and com plexion,
the rudy blonde and the bilious
brunette, with few laws to be observed.
She contends that friction is the beat
known cosmetic, and classes white
washes of any kind az adjuncts of de-
PRAYED sentiment. Much stress is laid
upon the subject of baths. their variety
and importance. Climate and tempera-
ture are given ss some OF the factors OF
beauty. In treating the beauty OF ex-
preston. instruction is given for the
cultivation of the emotions. as facial
beauty is the impress OF noble qualities.
Classic heads nobly poised, pure and
elegant in couture, and an aesthetic hand
entirely fill one chapter. Under facial
loveliness we find that q mouth with q
''cupid's bow" is not necessarily desira-
BILE for kissing, but soft voice and a
sweet breath ie necessary. Through love
all that is grand in nature or in art
springs into being. Soul is the cardinal
beautfer; cultivation of spirituality Of
the soul to the woman is to her what
fragrance Of the rose is to the rose. The
author has solved the mystery OF dress
ing. In dress, considered "a an orna-
mental art, il 10 fitness that leads us to
admire. The best dressed woman ia the
one who always analyses and provides
for her individual requirements; just as
the ey pert physician prescribes for va
temperament OF the patient.
Study your own particular style and
seek to emphasize it's distinctive fea-
lures. In following out this law
woman cannot help but make her dress
the sy IN Dol of her own inner self. This
is the true secret of dressing. To be
picturesque rather than fashionable is
desirable stylish" girls are not those
of the most refined taste.
One of the most precious gifts Of a
beautiful woman is the faculty of grow
ing old gracefully, resignedly, cheer
fully.
cage is opportunity no less
Than youth itself, tn oagh in another dress;
And AZ the evening twilight fades away
The say is filled with stars, invisible TO day."
The last chapter is devoted to the
men-that wonderful creation-man.
After talking to all women GA diet, nu-
triton, bathing, exercise, climate, tenn
perature, the condition of the emotions,
Of thought, of will, OF spirituality, OF the
influences OF occupation, of household
furnishing, of harmony in color, OF dress,

In this little talk she addresses the
mentor men, but at women.
1t is the authors opinion that 80
women out OF every 100 are wretched.
They have something the matter, or
think they have, which IL not quite
the same, but it makes them just as
miserable to themselves and just as dis
agreeable to others.
Men would be just as wretched if it
were not for the difference in their
habits of thought and action.
Men follow nature more closely.
while women impose on nature fash
ionable and coDven tional Interpretation.
And out OF this grow thousand and
enc reasons why men are more healthy,
more comfortable than women.
Men are more comfortable than
women because they have constant
mental occupation. Men are more
comfortable than women because their
lives are more emancipated. Men are
more comfortable than women, having
broader opportunities to select and
vary compsnionship; because they do
not wear French heels and corsets and
because they have an individual self
respect that enables them to live nearer
their own feelings and bear better their
years. If the body is cramped the ideas
will be cramped, and none but
Gramped soul would suffer the body to
he pinched and psralyzed. For liberty
of body means health of body; and
liberty of body and health OF body are
the constant aud inevitable anteced-
ens of liberty of mind and health OF
mind.
And this is what our mothers. sisters
and wives need. what they must have.
The history OF nations is the history
OF individuals, and following this anal
ogy We find the annals of the world give
no record of an oppressed race being
healthy one nor handsome one. But
above all, be yourself, but be your best
self. Veil your scowls and deformities

TO the world take to it your smiles,
