Some Erroneous r1ethOds Con-
demned and Some Inno-
cent Measures
Favored
by MARIE JANSEN.


| think woman is in duty bound to al
advantage TO secure this end she may,
without just cause for reproach, employ
methods or devices that are innocent and
non-injurious. But the cultivation OF
beauty, like everything else in life, may
be carried to excess. Cleanliness is said
to be next to goodness, but well-known
French Countess carried cleanliness so far
that it became monomania and at length
she would go into fit at the sight OF the
slightest speck of dust upon her person OF
apparel, till she finally committed suicide
because she found itimpossbile to attain
her ideas of being clean. 1t is supertluous
to say that this Countess never wore the
black stockings or the black underwear
which came into vogue few years age.
An excessive attempt to cultivate beauty
might lead to the same melancholy con-
sequences as did the noble lady's mania
for cleanliness.
l have said that woman may use inno-
cent means for the improvement of her
beauty, but come to which many are said
to resort are certainly not included in this
category. A story is going the rounds
of the press-it is certainly to be hoped
that it is merely newspaper story origi-
mating in the teeming brain of some writer
for woman's coiumn--to the effect that
certain women are now seeking to impart
a roseate hue to their cheeks by injecting
into them by means of a small hypoder-
mic syringe, coloring matter of deep
carmine pink. Then there is the face
massage. Steaming hot cloths are APP
Piled to the face for several minutes to
soften the skin, which, alter being
thoroughly cleansed with soap and water,
has preparation of oil is well rubbed in
to it by the fingers of the operator
Such practices cannot be too severely
condemned The point of hypodermic
needle. however fine and delicate cannot
fail to make slight scar on the cheek
which by constant repetition of this
puncturing process will eventually assume
the appearance of nutmeg CRATER while
the application of hot cloths to the face
must inevitably make the skin loose and
f1abby and so tender that it will become
chapped and roughened by the slightest
exposure to wind or weather.
Cosmetics also which so many women
persistently apply to their faces with the
idea of enhancing their beauty are always
injurious. OF those sold in the shops the
basis of many is white lead which more
than any other known substance will i'm
part peculiar velvety whiteness to the
skin. 1t is superfuous to say that it is
most deadly poison which applied to the
face for any length of time will infallibly
produce lead collie and lead palsy. A
physician of large practice among the
most wealthy and most Fashionable ladies
of New York society states in recent
article that within the past year he has
treated eight female patients of that class
suffering from the i'll effects of white lead
absorbed into the system in the form OF
cosmetics. Even if we discard these vile
preparations and substitute for them such

ton for every woman to desire TO De
beautiful? Admitting that, is it not the
duty OF every woman to try to be beauti-
fulP How. then, can it be possible for any
amount of time that she may devote!to
the proper cultivation of her physical
charms be misused or wasted. Time that
a woman devotes to making herself at
tractive in appearance is certainly time
well spent. Beauty. or whatever share OF
it one may possess, has as much claim
upon our attention and care as physical
strength or intellectually. Woman is
largely dependent upon man in all the rela-
tions of life, and it is therefore in some
degree essential to her welfare that she
should render herself attractive i'll his
sight. Those to whom but moderate
share OF comeliness has been given should
endeavor to augment that which they al
ready possess.
1t is to be regretted that the unnatural
methods of living and the artificial habits
which civilization entails upon us should
be so largely inimica to beauty. A woman
who dances in crowded rooms till 2 or
o'clock in the morning, tightly lac III
decollete costume, who passes. from the
heated air of the ballroom through the
chilly night air to her carriage, who over
loads her digestive organs with rich food,
and who neglects physical and mental ex-
ercise cannot hope long to retain real
beauty. 1t is romping over the hills,
strolllng along the beach IN sou pure sea
air, retiring early and living upon diet
of brown bread and wholesome fruits that
will paint the lily and the rose in woman's
cheeks and make her truly beautiful.
Every woman should strive to preserve
and to develop and improve whatever
modicum of beauty heaven may have
vouchsafed to her. She should have an
abundance of sleep and rest. She should
take an abundance of exercise in the open
air. She should avoid coffee, pastry
sweetmeats and all other injurious articles
of food of every kind. She should rub
herself vigorously with cold water every
morning and take a sponge bath in tepid
salt water before breakfast. She should
eat only nourishing, easily digested food.
She should avoid all stimulants and CO.'S
metics, and she should be in all respects
as simple and regular in all her habits as
possible.
The woman who observes these plain
rules is fulfilling her duty to her beauty
and is doing her best to always look her
best, as every woman always should.

In view of these facts, it seems the
height OF nonsense for learned univer-
sity to award prize-as one did few
years ago-to a young man and young
woman for being the best formed speci-
mems of their sex. What right has any
university or any nation to say what is
the best form? Travellers tell us that in
some countries the standard of beauty in
both face and figure is adipose tissue, and
she who is the fattes; is the most admired
belle. In those countries the standard of
the learned university would be laughed
to scorn, and the young man and woman
with the university medals for physical
perfection would be objects of ridicule.
Beauty is strange, indefinable some
thing that attracts. Annie Sylvester, the
heroine Of Wilkie Collins novel of Man
and Wife, was one of the homeliest of
women in the eyes of her sex, but she ex-
ercised an irresistible. fascination over
every man who came into her presence,
and she completely eclipsed all your fine
beauties. Many woman who possesses
this power of attraction and fascination
call it animal magnetism or what you will
lis beautiful in the eyes of all the men
who feel its SPELL though all her features
may be bad when analysed, and though
all the women who see her may exclaim,
as they gaze upon her, ooh, what

The Little Armchair
,sMARGAREr E. sANesTER

4, q ~ MARGARET E sANGsTER
Nobody sits in the little arm chair;
z Itstands in . corner dim;
But awhfte.haired mother gazing there,
And yearningly thinking of him,
. Sees through the dust of the long ago
The bloom of her boys sweet face,
AS he rocks SO merrily to ana fro,
With laugh that cheers the place.
Sometimes he holds book in his hand,
So netimes pencil and slate,
And the lesson is hard to understand,
And the figures hard to mate:
But she sees the nod of his fathers head,
So proud of the little son.
And she hears the words so often said:
"No fear for our little one."
They were wonderful days, the DEAR sweet
days,
When child with sunny hair
Was hers to scold, to kiss, and to praise
At her knee in the little chair.
She lost him back in the busy years,
When the great world caught the man,
And he strobe away past hopes and fears
To his place in the battles van.
But now and then in a wistful dream,
Like picture out OF date,
She sees the head with golden CLEAN
Bent over pencil and slate.
And she lives again in the happy day,
The day of her young life's spring,
When the small armchair stood lust in tha
way,
The center OF everything.
