Although in classic times the bath seems
to have been one of the chief features of
life. yet in the medieval days-so had
| things changed-a lady's toilet, II not by
| any means thing of brief or slight mat
ter. had very little to do with the bath.
| When her hair was pomaded and braided

/ and gear were arranged, the thing was
done. Nor was there much bathing done
| IN the days of rouge and patches Even
less than a hundred years ago the habit
| OF frequently bathing the entire person
| was called by good old careful housewives
a nasty French fashion"
| At the present day the first charm of
| woman is the sense of cleanliness about
her-the bloom on her sweet skin, the nus
ter IN her hair the sparkle of her teeth
| This cleanliness is her wise effort 20 main

known as "making-up" should become APP
parent about her she knows her charm is
lost. The rouge pot, the coral lip salve-
If there is a suspicion of the use of any one
of these, there will be left a hint, sug-
| gestion, of uncleanliness I'm the behold
er's mind, which utterly destroys anything
accomplished by skill in the pictorial line;
for no one who is not virtually an artist
| can use these articles so that she will not
| be discovered. and she who is discovered
| bears not only the stigma of having tried
to cheat and having been unsuccessful in
that also For the woman who makes up
in her dressing room never knows exactly
what the effect is going to be in the tut
sunshine Of outdoors. and she who powders
and paints and pencils In the daylight has
no notion of the effect Of her work by
candle light; and she who puts on her bis
muth and her anthony, and goes to bail
or theater. does not know at what moment
the gas from the chandelier, or from other
| sources is to streak her with mouldy green
and bistre-brown and blue.
| The good grooming of the bath, the brisk
rubbing Of the brush. is really all-sutticient
wherever there is any good degree of
| health. Those whom that does not make
| lovely VIII never look lovely in raise coli
Ors; and it will make any one who is at all
wholesome and healthy look more so, and
in the long run the wholesome look is the
greatest attraction of all. For when the
beauty of early days has faded the per-
| fectly healthy woman who never had any
| beauty is bound to be more attractive than
she who has neither beauty nor health,
health itself being a beauty, and continu-
ing a beauty into old age.
1t is fortunate that good breeding and
good taste have now become so general,

preoccupy its thought and activity that
the fancy for Tightening or for interfering
with the work of nature is found only in
the most feather Drained and empty
headed.
About Mrs. A. A. f. Johnston. the dean
of Oberln college, pretty little story IS
told. 1t is said that she never leaves
American soil without carrying with her
a silken American flag. On one of her ear
y trips abroad she went to a pension in a
German city TO perfect herself in the use
Of the German language. 1t happened that
representatives from several other coun-
tries were there. On the evening Of her
second day in the establishment the Herr
doctor who sat at the head of the dinner

own country. One mentioned great victo-
ries another illustrious men and women.
Each one had an appropriate answer. Mrs.
Johnston was in despair for while she I'M
derstood German she could not speak it.
She must represent the United States
| properly, but how? When the Herr doctor
bowed politely in her direction and waited
for her reply she bowed sWeetly in return,
left the table at the same time, returned
in a moment, and, with smile of great
