POINTS OF BEAUTY.
what Woman Can Do to Acquire 4 Grace
frl Appearance.

ful Appearance.
A graceful carriage Of the head and
IN erect figure are points of beauty
which no woman can afford to over
look. Unlike certain other features,
such as the shape of the face, the
color of the hair and the size Of the
hands and feet, these pecrliaritics are
within the power Of every woman to
control as she pleases. One some.
times sees an otherwise beautiful
young woman who goes along with
heal bent forward in q manner sug-
cesting turtle locking out OF It's
Shell, and provoking the thought at
once that she has lost and searching
for something. Notlingis less pleas
ing than an awkward carriage OF the
head. Every girl should cultivate the
habit Of holding up her chin. A fiat
back, g wcll-poised head and q
graceful way OF walking make the
difference between a girl who has
stvle and her friend who is clumsy
and awkward.
Where q girl can daily take exercise
in gymnasium, she may train
her muscles so that they will
obe7 her will; but even better
than this indoor training is that
which one has who walks great deal
in the open cir, plays golf and tennis,
OF often rows boat across G pond OF
river.
Another poirt Of beauty, needless
to say, is = good complexion. This,
too, IS within the reach OF every girl
who, first Of all, endeavors to main
tain high standard Of health. Pure
blood has everything to do with clear
skin; therefore enc should be careful
of her diet, avoiding unwholesome and
inaigestible food, bat taking care to
eat due proportion of meat, not
omitting little fat every day, and
regularly making fruit . part Of her
diet. Tea and coffee should be
sparingly used BY the young woman
who would have i beautiful SKIN.
Every day very thorough bathing and
rubbing with @ crash towel are
essential, au3 the face once e day
should be washed with hot water and
a lather made Of q delicate toilet soap.
This should be thoroughly rubbed into
the skin, cleansing the pores Of the
fine dust which clogs their lace-!ike
texture. The face should be carefully
rinsed and wiped with q soft towel.
The best time to do this IS at night
before retiring. Given sufficient
exercise, good food, regular bathing
and plenty Of sleep, there is no reason
why woman should not preserve the
freshness Of her skin unimpaired from
childhood to old age.
Not only the beauty of the skin,
but also the gloss and abundance Of the
hair, the brightness Of the eyes and
the sheen of the teeth, al are de-
pendent On the circulation, which is
promoted by hsalthful living.
Weli-shaped hands and feet have
always been regarded rs distinctive
marks of beauty. While one cannot
regulate the size OF these members,
she can always have her hands and
nails we'll cared for and her feet be-
comingly dressed. Awomaa who is
we'll gloTed and well slod makes a
creditable appearance even if the rest
of her dress be somewhat shabby.
If one has rot very much money to
spend on her costume let her not IL
vest so much in her gown and wrap
comparatively as she does in fine,
well-fttlng shoes, in gloves of good
quality and color to suit her dress,
and in a tasteful hat. The extremities
give tone to the toilette. Soiled, ILL
fitting, OF worn-out gloves, with yawn-
ing holes at the finger ends and but
tons off, will ruin any costume, and
detract from the impression of-beauty
which woman should make upon the
eye Of the beholder. -Harper's Bazaar.
