Nine. Lola Montez, a superbly hand
some woman of picturesque career,
was the first of her sex to publicly ad-
yocate the cultivation of physical
beauty. She was the first woman lee
turer with a beauty message to her
own sex, She established the beauty
cult and was the first woman who
dared to say what every woman in her
heart has acknowledgements beauty
is power, and that there is no more
important mission than to be beautiful

Cleanliness is a subject of lndlspen
sable consideration in the pursuit of a
beautiful skin. The frequent use of
the tepid bath IS the best cosmetic J

The Complexion.
There are many disorders of the |
skin. said Lola, which are induced by |
culpable ignorance, which owe their |
origin entirely to circumstances con

And many of the fashions of dress. |
Ing the head are still more inimlcal to |
the complexion than the climate. The |
habit the ladies have of going into tie !

Indeed, the fashion of the ladies' bon, !

the back OF the head, is great tax
upon the beauty of the complexion.

ty. but her health requires that she
should never step into the open air
particularly in autumnal evening"
without sufficient covering 10 her
head. And IL she regards the beauty
OF her complexion she must never go
out into the hot sun without her veil.
The custom among ladies of drying
the perspiration from their faces by
powdering, or of cooling them wi, N

is most destructive to the complexioa
