head like hood. With one hand the Moor

holds the folds of her robe before her face
in way that while 1t conceals her features

that there is scarcely any charm of beauty
which surpasses that of a lovely hand,
ana that 1t possesses in great degree, the
power to fascinate? Heine tells US some-

She may have perfectly regular features,
fine eyes and hair and a good figure, but

An opera cloak of chinchilla made early
In the winter for a stage favorite was cut
upon lines that any woman might easily

with broad bands of sable. A very full

Clasp Fastenings.
The use of handsome clasps instead of

D T f E REN T IDEA AIS

Written for The Evening Star by Katherine Morton.
Copyright, 1902 by S. S. Mcclure co.,
What charm makes a woman most fasci-
mating?
Is 1t the eXquisitely modelled contour of
the face; the full curved lips; the dimpie
beside the mouth; the finely penclled eye
brows; the clear, low forehead; the ala
baster throat; the beautiful hand; the we'll
shaped arm or the graceful fgure2
These questions must be answered ac-
cording to individual taste, and there Is no
rule Of beauty that can apply to all time
and place. If one ask poet for what
charm woman is most admired. will not
he answer that beautiful eyes WELD the
greatest charm, and that
Every pretty pair I see,
Rule, ravish and bewilder me-"
And do beautiful eyes not possess power
as well as charm-a power with which a
maiden is able to draw her lover around
the whole circuit Of the globe7 Are not
my lady's eyebrows, as well as my lady s
eyes, able to inspire both admiration and
sonnets? Or the maiden, who alike charms
and fascinates, is she who hath a beauti-
full mouth-the mouth having almost more
to do with making or nlarring the beauty
OF a woman than any other feature.
Some one will tell us that beauty Of neck
and throat constitutes one of the greatest
charms a woman can possess that there is
nothing more exquisite than that line which
leads from the tip of the chin to the bust
with the delicate depression at the throat
called Venus cup, unless it be that which
slopes from the nape of the neck to the
shoulders. The latter is often a beauty
which attains its perfected bloom after the
first freshness Of youth has gone from the
race; ripe firm development of neck and
shoulders being more frequently the prerog-
atlve of thirty than of twenty.
Among French women, beauty of face is
rare. it is with their arms that they charm,

To Reduce the Waist.
Two movements for reducing the size OF
the waist; stand perfectly erect, and then
bend over, touching the fingers to the floor,
without bending the knees. For the second
movement, place the feet firmly and well
apart hold the arms out straight then
bend the body so that the hand touches the
hoorr while the other is pointing straight
up In the air. Now turn the body so as 20

given In the first article OF this series pub

some additional exercises:
Stand perfectly erect, with the arms at the
sides, then lift them up vertically, initiating
the lungs as the arms ascend. With the
arms in a vertical position rise up on the
tfptoes and throw the head back, touching
at the same time the backs of the hands

the back. 1t was decorated with several
rows of stitching. The wide, shaped col
lar, coming down the front to the waist,
where 1t dwindled to a point, was in the
original, of sable; on the substitute 1t
might be of velvet, plush or veiveteen, a
heavy lining being added to supply the
flrmness of the fur collar. The sleeves
should be of silk of the same color as the
cloak; chiffon was the fabric used on the
model. The sleeves must be laid in grad
uated puffs, the smallest puff coming to the
wrists and the largest one ending at the
shoulders, where twisted bands of silk or
ribbon clasped by tiny cut steel buckle
rial falls over the hands. The garment
should be lined with something that will
