for titles conferred by European pc.

WOMAN'S BEAUTY.
How it is Made CT HIarred.

There is nothing more subtle than
worlan's beauty 1t eludes all attempts
to analyze it. 4 woman may have the
measurements aud lines OF the Medician
Venus and yet lack beauty Or she may
defy artistic standards and DE known
everywhere as beautiful WOMAN Thee
is, however, one kind of beauty which is
recognized by all and which is eve.y
woman's dover, a beauty to which the
French have given the name Of The
Beauty Of Youth" Many time we
turn to watch some sweet, young girl,
impressed by her beauty But if we
analyze the beauty we find it is made up
of smooth skin, clear complexion, bright
eyes, ruddy lips and rounded contours
That beauty ought to last always. But
