trace of the prototype vanishes.
Look about you in any gathering OF
beautiful women today and find. if you
can, the "Cupid's bow mouth, to whose
adorable curves the poet in the days of
Christmas ANNALS penned many a
pretty rhyme. 1t has disappeared with
the fair but helpless damozels who hung
fondly over its adulation, preening
themselves with small and harmless
vanities, and reading the precious verses
DER and DER as they fed their cravings.
Wherefore has it disappeared?
All unconsciously the modern woman
laid one of her most potent attractions,
this alluring kissable mouth, compound
ed of witching curves, framed in joy
Gus dimples, on the sacrificial altar of
progress. 1t would be small price
to pay for what she has gained if it was
q necessary sacrifice, but was It?
Has Lost Great Charm.
No. Her mouth must have changed,
but 1t should have improved, not deteri-
GRATED. She has through heedlessness
lost great charm. and as every charm
is a power it is worth the effort to at
tempt to regain it.
The strenuous life of the last quarter
Of century wrought this unpleasing
change, because woman, wholly uncon-
scious of its outward effect upon her
speaking countenance, has taken her
new responsibilities with such intense
seriousness that every feature bears the
impress of the nerve tension. Although
this high-pressure life has ennobled
many face with exalted purpose, and
woman's chin has gained in strength
and beauty of contour, mouths have as
q rule been set with such decision and
earnestness that they have Strengthened
with long Sits, with thin, compressed
lips. or are broadened into a masculine
strength, with thick, heavy lips.
All this was unnecessary. We know
now that serenity composure and con-
fidence are more important factors in
the accomplishment of any purpose in
life than struggle, worry and tense striv-
ing. 1t is but by accident that these
ever gain any ends, and oftener than not
they work their own defeat, while
wrecking the health of their victims.
Modern taste does not demand the ey-
tremely small ''Cupid's bow" mouth OF |
the Princess Elizabeth type. the only |
one which the artist of that period |
thought worthy to be perpetuated upon
canvas.
II requires that a beautiful mouth |
shall be neither large nor small, and |
that its firm outline shall be gracefully

unselfshness, love and human interest

nor thin, nor compressed, nor weak with
indecision.
All these attractions are in the reach
of most women and all young girls. If

fold on each side of the first finger as
they rub along the edge of the upper lip.
To re-enforce these exercises and de-
rive fullest benefit from them you must

The fresh color of the lips has much
to do with their beauty; and that. ls
well as the purity of the breath, is an
Indication of internal order and whole
someness. The pale-lipped woman adopts
many expedients to brighten her color
which are hazardous in the extreme. The
trick of biting the lips for this purpose
Is injurious to their texture. 1t coarsens
them and impairs the structure OF the
