TWO TYPES OF BEAUTY.

Can ANYBODY doubt that. while an
honest man may be the noblest work &C
God. a beautiful woman is the finest?
Every now and then some miserable old
hypocrite. with strong opinions about
health. food. and underwear. insists that
a square look. a determined dragging
back of the hair so that the forehead
and the eyebrows look as if they were
being pulled to. shoes two sizes too BIZ
for one and a strong contempt for every
thing that suggests femininlty mean
beauty. Now. the first requisite of be
ing Il pretty woman is Il pronounced Xix
ing for mankind. The next is that she
should care so much for each beauty OF
person that nature has bestowed upon
her as to endeavor to intensity every
one. The pretty woman who does not
understand herself is to be pitied. The
pretty woman who does not understand
mankind is to be scorned.
Here there are two extremely beautiful
wOmen-wOmen who are quite as differ
ent as the stately moon and that fairy
mischief, Puck. It is true that Puck
was Il boy, but somehow or other his
quaint. dainty ways describe n certain
type of woman. Imagine. O man. Il very
pocket Venus, with Il figure so superb
that the curves will assert themselves
in the most delicious of gowns: a head
framed in blonde hair worn about the
length of Ellen Terry's, and tumhIinr IN
riotous curls that never knew the
screening power of 4 pair of tongs and
never felt the pressure Of curl panors
From underneath this aureole of hair
there look out two of the BRIGHTEST hlur
eyes that ever proclaimed a descendant
of one of the kings of Ireland.
French word must express the mouth

never vulGariZes itself. rs the average
chorus girl does. by keeping up a photo

for either the eyes or lips are laughing
the movements are so quick that if woull
seem as if the pretty lady might mt >
girdle around the earth in forty seconds
Yet this ~qnickness so exactly SHIFTS th,
size. is so intensely individual. that yo,
cannot but wonder how it would be if :
sudden silence were to come. She ha
