HOW TO KEEP BEAUTY.
In order to preserve this beauty of
youth, to retain the charm of sweetness
and freshness which belongs to maiden
hood, the prerequisite Is to understand
that the chief foe of woman's beauty is
womanly ill-health. Young women are
often very careless Of themselves. The
temptation of the dance, or of the sleigh
ride overrules their prudence, and the
result Is suppression and perhaps irregu-
larity. This is only the beginning of
worse evils. and yet this alone is suf-
ficient to steal the freshness from the
face. The womanly health should be
protected with the utmost care and the
FIRST symptom of arrangement or disease
should be met by the use of DIR. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription.

WOMAN'S BEAUTY.
How it is Made or Marred.

There is nothing more subtle than
woman's beauty. II eludes all attempts
to analyze il. A woman may have the
measurements aud lines of the Medician
Venus and yet lack beauty. Or she may
defy artistic standards and be known
everywhere as beautiful woman. There
is, however, one kind of beauty which is
recognized by all and which IS every
woman's dover. a beauty to which the
French have given the name of The
Beauty of YOUTH Many a 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
