ADVISED to get up early anu uieaIhN ~

wishes to be sweet Of face, sweet OF
breath and sweet of skin This may
answer for August, but any would-oe
beauty who attempted it in March
would be apt to get the chillbiains, a
red nose and a violent cold of the order
that shows itself in its demand for ten
handkerchiefs day. Hence it would
seem rs if the pamphlet Of yesterday OF
the day before is not always suited TO
general U.S..
TO INCREASE WOMANLY BEAUTY
Two are before me at present; one is
paper bound, brown of color, has rs
for IS. and is altogether homely look
ing. The other is quite new; bound in
a springlike tint, in cloth, with a dis
agreeable looking young woman for a
frontispiece. II tells, Notwithstanding
It's modern binding. much that is true,
but it doesn't tell all that he pamphlet
of the olden days sets forth as neces-
sary TO the increase of beauty. The
old-timer says that, if woman wishes
to be beautiful she should have dainty
.ood, beautifully served, that she should
be unacquain;ed with grease or vine
gar. and that she should learn the value
of rich dish that is at the same time,
not a heavy dish. This wisdom boiled
down means that one should live well,
and take care of ones digestion. Then
il goes on TO say that she who aims at
beauty should sleep well and often; that,
put into plain English, signifies that
her mind should be free from care.
She is no. advised to walk much, which
to all intents and purposes is equiva-
lent to saying that something mascu-
line should love her well enough to
earn for her a fine coach and pair, in
which to take her walks abroad For
she is to have fresh air without eXer-
ton. To keep her hair beautiful-now
don't raise your hands up in horror
she must braid il smoothly before going
to bed, and over il she must put a night
cap. You may not fancy this but il is
well known that most of the women o.
to-day who have beautiful hair wore
,t. i -
were tiny children.
Let us see what the book of to-day
says Not very much in the way Of
helping the plain woman to become a
beautiful woman. A good bit is said
about the sort of clothes that should
be worn, and this is sensible: NO
properly understood hat or bonnet can
afford to be anything but simple and
single-minded in the impression it pro-
duces. Over-abundance is the abOmin-
alton of desolation; and confusion Of
idea has been the death warrant Of
many blameless bonnet. For con
slider: The object of its existence is to
sUTmount. to crowd and frame human
countenance. And if that face be beau
tiful already. what possible collection
Of beads. straw. fur. moss. plover's eggs,
pink roses and plumage is likely to
draw closer attention TO the lovely and
delicate lines beneath? And if the
face is irregular in shape. faded or
muddy in color unfortunate in length
or size or breadth what concentration
of the animal. mineral and vegetable
kingdom is calculated to lead away the
critical eye to some happier point in
the wearer's anatomy" If this would
only teach one woman how 10 buy the
right sort of hat! But, no. until the
end of the world
THE SMALL WOMAN WILL OVER

with ribbon bows. while the large.

two rOsettes Of lace connected by a
band OF pink velvet in the &c Ner Of

wonder when the right bonnet and the
right woman will meet, and what thu
result viii be.
To return to the book OF to-day. It
makes another truthful statement. II

body who has ever seen the English Vo-
man abroad can doubt She buys n
piece OF ribbon al the bargain counter
and manages TO pin il at her waist: she
possesses bit OF lace and it appears
a hcr throat. Flowers and ribbons
and lace meander at their own sweet
win over her bonnet and she is never
satisfied TO leave her gown as il was
when il came from the hands of an
artist She puts some tags OF fnery on
il and thinks she has improved H. The
English idea OF dressing can be- damn
ed with faint praise by reminding you
of one thing. II was an English mil
liner who first put trimming on a sailor
hat The hal that OF all others should
be either r pluIibus unum or in puris
