Dorothy Grey Talks TO Women About
Modern Ideas of Beauty and How
TheysNay BE Realized.
When one thinks Of il. it's queer how
little mere prettiness counts these days.
The word itself has a weak, insipid
sound that we hate. A hat or a gown
must be smart. not pretty: a roman
must be well groomed, must be handled
in a way which shows that she knows
her good points and has made the best
of them. The attractive women OF
to-day-the women who are wor-
SHIPPED by men and women alike-are
those who, if they had lived a few
years ago, would have been considered
too old to enter into the active pleas
ures of life. And they do no look
old. They have all the attractions or
youth, all the experience of age.
How do they make themselves at
t%ractive? Not by powder and paint.
not by any artificial device. Eternal
vigilance is tneir watchword. A care
full guard over the health, and over
those weaknesses by which women so
readily succumb to old age. Good
looks to-day are the result OF eleanli-
ness, physical perfection, and a bright
brain combined.
Cleanliness is not a mere washing of
tie body or even an occasional bath.
l have known women who got into a
tub two or three times a week, gin
gerly rubbed themselves with soap, and
thought their duty ended. The woman
who knows makes her bath as regular
as her meals. Nor is she content with
water baths alone. Sun baths she
takes. and air baths. Whenever posi-
BILE, she spends an hour a day in a well
ventilated room. with no clothing on
but a light garment, through which
the air nay pass freely. She spends
time outdoors, warming her blood in
the sun, cleansing her lungs with the
fresh air.
There is another law of cleanliness
80 often neglected by women-the
use of the vaginal douche. The body
needs TO be clean inside and out. II
perfect physical beauty is TO result, and
nothing is more important than the
use of the warm douche every morning
upon rising.
In fact, most of the old age that
creeps only too early upon women,
most of the fading away of the bright
ness of the face. are due to lack OF
w~atchfulness OF the organs of the sex.
Month after month women suffer and
grow old from the natural functions OF
our lex. given that we might be reju-
venated, and renewed as time goes by
given as a means of enhancing fe-
male beauty. Yet month after month
these unnatural pains go unheeded:
week after week the aching back

wrongs neglected, until health is
broken, and beauty gone. Oh, that
women might realize their position.
and know that upon themselves de-
pend their own attractiveness.
1t isn't as If there were no way
to avoid these troubles. Everybody
knows of Lydia e. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound, and what il has done
to help women who are the brightest
specimens of our sex to-day. 1t is a
simple thing to do If a woman really
cares about herself. to take Mrs. Pink
hams medicine. / have seen 81 much
of.the good 1t has done that | want all
women to benefit by it's virtues.
It is a mystery to me that a woman
will deliberately allow herself to suf-
fer, will willingly forego her right to
the delight of living, will knowingly
resign herself to premature old age,
when at her hand is this helper and
sustainer that has done so much for
others. If you back is beginning to
round, if the lines are creeping into
your face. if you do not feel so pert as
you should, do not forget that the
cause of these troubles is easily found
and easily overcome.
When the natural and constantly re-
curing incidents peculiar to our sex
are perfectly normal. a m may be
sure She is healty, and not until they
are, should she rest satisfied. All
kinds OF expedients may be resorted
to by women, TO hide the ravages OF
time and suffering, but they are n
and all barren OF permanent result for
good, while unnatural and excessive
pains and aches exist.
I really believe women deceive them
selves about this, and I believe, too.
that ttAS 10 o receive positive in
~strucison about it from physicians.
| have known lots of women who suf-
fefed torture about one-fourth OF the
| time until l prevailed upon them to
Nwrite to Mrs. Pinkham. Even then,
sney were at irst inclined to think
they had to go through these expert
ences just because they are women.
But they took the advice they received.
and found they had been very foolish
to wait so long before getting help.
So let every who takes an
interest in being beautiful be sure TO
build her efforts on the right founda-
ton. Unless she does she can never
hope to succeed.
