vIRcINlA's BEAUTY RULES.
Recipes Found in the Note Book Of an
southern Belle.

These rules and recipes are taken
from an old book found in a Virginia
homestead. They were in use among
the beauties of the South in the days
when all women were handsome, and
grace of figure was as common as beauty
III Il rose.
To get thin-Eat q great deal OF
chopped meat without any potato in it.
Drink little fluid of any kind except
strong tea. Exercise a great deal with.
out drinking, and do not eat bread and
butter or candy. Lemonade. acid drinks
of all kinds. and saline mineral waters
are excellent. Drink a glass of clear
water before breakfast.
To get fat-Eat vegetables and sleep
after each meal. Go to bed at 8 o'clock
and lie in bed half an hour after you
wake up. Laugh a great deal. Drink
water by the pint 81 the quart if you
can. Drink weak and sweet tea, With
plenty of milk in it. Take cod liver and
sweet oils as much as you can. Eat
until you feel rs if you would burst at
the table. Put plenty of butter on your
bread and do not be afraid of ales. layers,
and sweet wines. This will guarantee
q gain of five pounds a month. and, if
you can sleep "a great deal, of double
that amount.
To have a white skin-Eat no meat
at all. Become Il vegetarian; they al
ways have beautiful skin. Once in six
weeks or so eat a meal OF fresh meat
This does away with the tendency to
scurvy-that curse of the vegetarian.
Drink as much water as you can, eat
fttla r,aoc ard touoh NO f,o ~. n 60,
Your breakfast may be oatmeal and
oranges; your dinner. fruit, nuts, fruit
tea-preferably ounce tea graham
mullins, c%aulitiower. croquettes, mar
malade. and dishes of stewed vegetables.
The diet is not so bad when you get
used to it. In large towns you will find
n or two restaurants catering to such
as you.
To become very muscular-Walk a
great deal, carrying always something
IN the hands. This develops the arms.
To roll a hoop might be good if one
were brave enough to do 50 in public.
Practice lifting alittle every day. Never
strain or tire yourself. Eat meat, drink
milk, and practice bending backwards,
forwards, and sideways every day. At
night rub about a tablespoon of brandy
or rum into your skin on the under and
tender part of the arms.
To keep ones feet small This is DIFF
ticult. The first sign that one has
passed youth is the tendency to wear a
larger pair Of shoes-and this is neces-
sary. The feet spread and really grow.
To remedy this wear shoes US long as
can be managed. but not as wide rs seem
necessary. Never wear old slippers
around the house unless they are snug
in the width. and be careful of corns.
These are never necessary while the
%chiropodist exists.
Then there follow a dozen other re-
cipes for being pretty, sweet, and at
t~ractive generally, and the old book,
whose wording has been here modified
and modernized considerably, winds
up by telling the young ladies of yir-
ginia that they deserve No special
credit for following out these hints and
suggestions. rs they are absolutely
necessary for every girl who would be
a lady"

= ARE YOU GOING A.vIslTlNc7
II So Here Are Some Hints as to the
Duty of u Guest.

The relations between a visitor and
her hostess never require to be more
carefully considered than when the
visitor has very little opportunity Of
taking her own line; On the contrary,
she has to follow the routine arranged
by her hostess, and has only to acquiesce
in what is proposed to be done each
day. 1t is different in town, where the
rule is for a host and hostess to accept
invitations for themselves, whether q
visitor will be staying with them at the
time or not, although a hostess general.
ly informs the intended visitor before.
hand of her dinner engagements, to give
her the opportunity Of making engage
ments for herself in the evenings in
question; for when a host and hostess
dine out. their visitor is usually expect
ed to do the same at the house Of a
relative or friend.
Again, as regards evening parties and
dances, it much depends upon whether
the visitor is u young and pretty girl or
a lady of middle age, as to asking per-
mission to take her or not. In the gen.
erality of cases q hostess prefers not to
hSk lulS laNOI, anu 10 allow ner VlSltOf
to amuse herself. 10 an ordinary after
Don at home a visitor is taken rs a
matter of course, but TO no other enter
tainment, and a visitor is most un.
reasonable when, as too often follows,
she shows evident displeasure at not
being included in the Iong-standing en-
gagements of her hostess, or that they
are not given up on her account. AS
the obligation is incurred by the visitor,
she should respect her hostess plans
and fall in with them, and consult her as
to all engagements sho desires to make
independently of her. Otherwise a
hostess feels that she is put into rather
the position Ct u landlady, and that her
town house is little better than a hotel
to the visitor who makes use of it.
Shopping and visiting are great
temptations to most visitors in town, bnt
the convenience of a hostess should
neyer be sacrificed to such allurements,
and a visitor should endeavor to hit
the happy medium, and not give her
hostess too little or too much of her
society,

Have you seen Catherine latelyP"
Not lately"
II suppose she Is as handsome as ever.
When will you ask her to let ME see Kitty?'
Leave that to me-" WAS the one reply
which Randall could venture to make at that
moment
The serious embarTassments that surround
ed him were t%hickenlng fast. Ills naturally
frank nature urged him to undeceive Her
bert. If he followed his %inclinations, in the
near neighborhood of the hotel, who could
say what disasters might not ensue in his
brothers present frame of mind? Ii he made
the disclosure on their return to the house he
would be only running the same risk of
consequences after an interval of delay, and,
if he remained silent, the march of events
might ut any moment lead to the discovery
his confidence in Catherine had been rudely
shaken. Having allowed herself to be en-
trapped into the deception proposed by her
mother, and having thus far persevered in
that deception, were the chances in favor of
her revealing her true position-especially If
she was disposed TO encourage B~ennydeck's
suitp Randal's loyalty to Catherine hesitated
to decide that serious question against the
woman he had known, trusted, and admired
for so many years. In any event, her second
marriage would lead to one disastrous result.
1t would sooner or later come TO Herbert's
ears. In the meantime, after what Mrs.
Presty had confessed, the cruel falselood
which had checked poor Kitty's natural in
quiries raised An insuperable obstacle 10 a
meeting between father and child.

one who, after suffering ten, fifteen or

for the expense of SOC. he ccts.I have

CHAPTER XII.

For q moment the two men looked at each
other without speaking. Herbert's wonder
ing eyes accurately reflected his brothers
astonishment.
What are you doing here?" he asked.
Suspicion overloaded his face as he put the
question: You have been to the hotel2" he
burst out; "you have seen Catherinew'
Randall could deny that he had seen Cath
crime with perfect truth-and did deny 1t IN
the plainest terms. Herbert was satisfied.
I'm all my remembrance of you" he said,
you have never told me a lie. We have
both seen the same newspaper, Of course
and yon have been the first to clear the thing
up. That's 1t, isn't itp"
"Yes.'"
II wonder who this other Mrs. Ormond is

She's not Catherine, at any rate; I, for
one, shall go holne with a lighter heart" He
took his brothers. srp to return to the other
platform. 'Do you know, Randall, l was al

ct as he spoke, tore 1t In half, and threw it

he said, referring to the old servant, but he

Not satisfied with gossip in private, the
greedy public appetite devouls gossip in
print, and wants more Of it than any one
editor can supply. Randall picked up tle
torn newspaper. 1t was not the newspaper
which he had bought at the station. Her
bert had been reading a rival journal, devoted
to the interests of society-ln which the re-
port Of Mrs. Ormond's marriage WAS repeat

After what you have tod ME, why should

that the divorce allows you and Catherine te

Herbert became more unreasonable than
ever. III Catherine does think of marrying
again" he said, 1.-THE man will have to reckon
first with me. But that is not the point.
You seem to have forgotten that the woman
at Bucks hotel is described as a widow. The
bare doubt that my divorced wife might BIZ
