BEAUTY IN OLD AGE.
Some Women Defy the Attacks OF
Father Time.

| From the San Francisco Argonaut.
| Lately the vigorous efforts beauty has
| made to stand off old age must have rather
! softened its coming. There is no shock
| about it now. At thirty one does not throw
up the sponge. In fact. ladies of fifty are
| still firmly clutching it with one hand and
rubbing out wrinkles and rubbing on hair
dye with the other. Nobody grows old grace
| fully, for no lady grows old at all. There
does not come a day in the life of modern
| beauty, as there did in that of the Ric-
cardis bride. loved by the Medici duke.
| who, looking in her glass, saw her glory
gone
The heaven Of hair. the pride of the brow,
And the blood that blues the inside arm.
The preservation of youth-or its attempt
ed prcservation-is said to be art Dor
rowed from the French. The women Of
other lands became exasperated at the sto-
ries from France of charmers Of mature
years, like Ninon de rEnclos and Nine
Recamier. Now. some miserable journalist
of an inquistive turn has undertaken to
put all the French actresses famous for
youth or beauty >in the witness box and
make each one tell what is her recipe for
preserving both. And to everybody'S hor-
tor the French actresses, almost to a wo-
man, refute the theories they have been
living for, have not a word to say of new
recipes creams. do not allude to the old
ores, and even are inclined to give the
go-by to such respected fetishes fresh air
and the Salisbury cure. Sarah Bernhard,
the dean of the society of elderly ladies
who look young. flies in the face Of every
accepted rule. Air and light she abhors
and sedulously shuts herself out from,
spending from eleven to twelve hours in the
day at the theater without seeing the sun
and without a breath of fresh air."
OF the entire collection Bernhard, the
most absolutely Indifferent to the accepted
laws of hygiene looks the youngest; Jeanne
Granier, who never thinks of her health the
healthiest, and Bartet, who takes no regular
meals and eats when the spirit moves her,
the most poetic and charming. There is but
one inference to be drawn, and that is that
the interest and inspiration of their work
must be the real source of their prolonged
youth.
