QUEEN ELlzABETH's FAULTS
She Was Very Vain and InordinRteIy
Fond of Fine Dress.


Yet Elizabeth was never really sue
cessful with her wardrobe as a more
feminine woman might have been. Her
dresses were never beautiful, only lu-
dicronsly and most lnapproprlately
magniilcent-laden with jewels, weight
ed down with cloth OF gold, stir with
silver embroidery and SO heavy that
even her big. powerful frame must,
without supporting vanity, have felt
the fatigue OF carrying them about.
Elizabeth was certainly vain, but she
cannot claim fcminlnity merely on that
account, for vanity Is by no means an
exclusively feminine characteristic.
There are perhaps more vain women
than vain men because women have
more leisure and their costumes afford
greater opportunities for vanity than
the strangely hideous clothing which
custom has arranged for men, but no
thoughtful Qemlnine) observer can
doubt that a vain man Is yainer than a
vain woman.
Ellzabeth's hands were her especial
pride, and. Judging from her portraits.
they were certainly beautiful. They
were laden with jewels and 1t was her
habit in public to pull her rings off
with absont artlessness and push them
on again. moving those white hands
about in the most obvious way. Once,
during the grave consideration OF a
state paper. wherein her cold sagacity
never took second place. she interrupts
ed the discussion 10 ask whether the
Due d'Anjou. who was at one time one
OF her suitors, had been told what q
pretty foot she had and how white and
well rounded was her arm? This IN
the woman who financed the armada
with hard headed economy, who dared
the superstitious terrors OF her owl
conscience in her high handed and I'm
. pudent treatment of the bishops, WHOSE
interest in methods OF torture Tor stat'
prisoners was most mechanical and In
telngent. entirely unhampered by an.
squeamish feminine hesitation as 4
blood or pain. is most curious.
In connection with this last charaC
teristic OF cruelty vanity Is not at al
Unprecedented. Indeed. IL one observ

Professor Vivian Lewes, at the Lon

"Why do we bathe?" Twenty-eight
miles Of sweat glands in our skin arc

These are aided by the oil glands of the
