The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1899-11-15

''The beautiful is the splendor of the
true" once remarked a philosopher.
1.-THE beautiful" said Nine Yale, at the
| Metropolitan opera house yesterday aft
ernoon, ''is the result Of a wise observ-
ance of hygienic laws and the discreet
use of various lotions, externally ap-
piled"
The philosopher was probably gray and
grumpy. Nine. Yale. on the other hand,
is pretty and graceful, though she owns
to twice a score of years, so the women
who crowded the theater yesterday to
learn how to be beautiful forgot the
philosophers remark, If indeed they ever
heard it, and applauded heartily every
word that fell from the lips Of the grace
full woman who confesses her religion to
be beauty And Nine. Yale is a fitting
high priestess of this distinctly modern
cult. Svelte, perfectly at ease, with a
charming carriage, she certainly teaches
nothing that she herself has not applied.
Gowned first in low-necked, short
sleeved frock of white satin that reveal
ed plump and very white neck and arms,
madame spoke first in very philosophy
cal vein.
Every one having the necessary intel
lectual requirements" she assured her
auditors, 'can become great, but every
one may become beautiful If she only
possesses courage and faith. There is
nothing in the world to fear, nothing to
worry over 1t is true we have bereaVe-
ments, but what are they? Merely events
In our lives, the experience by which we
learn. The twentieth century woman Is
going to lead a scientific life. Beauty
will be her incentive.
| The first law in beautys attainment
! the speaker declared to be good health.
Without this qualification, she frankly
admitted, all the lotions and cosmetics In
the world could not produce good results.
| Pure blood and perfect circulation was
necessary to good health. Nourishtng
| food was also q necessity, and madame
| recommended the drinking of as much as
| two or three quarts of water day She
recommended her audience to practice
I deep breathing, and denounced what she
| termed the heathenish practice of tight
lacing. or, in fact, lacing at all. She
| affirmed that a woman of forty was
| young, in fact, a mere girl and for this
| conSoIng remark was most warmly APP
| plauded.
In the second part of her lecture Nine
Yale appeared in Greek costume, the toga
! virilis. however, rather than the more
abundant draperies worn by the Grecian
| DANES. She showed suppleness and ne-
! clded grace in going through various
physical culture movements for the de-
| Velopment of the body.
BY way of introduction to these exer-
| cises she said that the body was like a
| plant, whose crooked limbs, if any 1t pos
sessed, might be trained to grow straight.
and whose chief requirements were sun
SHINE, nourishment and plenty of water.
| NINE 4ale's Delsartean movements were
much applauded, and there was a very
audible sigh Of regret when she finally
disappeared. But 1t was only to reappear
| again. this time. clad in an exquisite even
| ing gown of tan, with draperies of brus
sells net and trimmings Of geranium pink.
she told Of her various preparations for
| identifying and preserving the skin and
| hair, and gave a practical Illustration Of
| the very latest methods in face mas
sage. Madame was also reminiscent. TELL
| Ing something Of her laboratory work and
| Its results. She said she wished to sne
c11caily deny the charge that she was NOT
Nine. Yale, or that Nine Yale was dead
rumors that were assidiously spread bv
enemies. She announced that Schuneman
| q Evans were sole agents in st. Paul for
heR various preparations, and advised all
VINO wanted these preparations to buv.
them there, as other agents were unwar
ranted.
Each woman present yesterday after
noon received as a souvenir a ticket en-
utllng her to package of Nine. Yale's
preparation for the hair. The tickets are
TO be presented at Schuneman &, Evans
"llnln TWO weeks, and each holder will.
receive package Of the preparation.
