and the bodice cleaned with green and

Madame Yale is an actress as well as
a lecturer. Her limitations of incorrect
walking and standing were received with
peals OF laughter and every woman pres
ent registered vow to learn to walk
properly For this exhibition Madame
Yale appeared as a charming Greek boy
in white tights, graceful fpeplum and
high, white boots. -. .....
Her last appearance was in pink tat
feta yelled with gold embroidered lace,
which was inset around the foot with
a band Of black lace which widened to
| form the train and which fell over many
1ounces of pink and black chiffon The
bodice was of pink chiffon with a garni-
| ture of lace and rose leaves. and the
dainty hat was Of pink panne velvet with
deep pink hearted roses.
Madame Yale declares that it is every
woman's duty to be beautiful, and that
she must learn to care for her beauty
with. the same diligence and practice
which she gives to her educa ton and her
accomplishments. She emphasized . the
| important part which the mind has over
the face and said that woman should
| learn to control her emotions Nothing
| mars woman beauty so much as a.
| scowl. Happiness is the best beautifier
| and it must be cultivated before beauty
can be attained. ...~s ..
The value of proper diet. exercise and
frequent bathing were dwelt on, and the
suggestions were based on such common
sense that they found an echo in every
listener. Tea and coffee are fatal to beau
ty, so are fried foods, stale vegetables and
greasy meats. women lack persever-
ance,' said Nine. Yale, with a sorrowful
shake of her golden head 'rhey will
follow my rules possibly for three days,
and If they can see no Improvement on
the fourth day they grow careless and
| finally return to their old habits. ,. One
| cannot become beautiful in twenty four
hours, but beauty is worth all the time
and work that it takes a woman to at
tain it. Beauty does not mean that one
should be artificial, but that one should
live correctly and naturally. 1t is the
natural grace which one adrnireS in a
child, and this same ease and lack of self
consciousness should be characteristic of
all women ~ .~
In her exhibition of proper exercise,
Nine. Yale showed that her muscles were
as supple and flexible as those of a child.
She was grace itself as she moved in
rythm to the music and her exercises
showed how Il woman might regain her
sirish charm. There We're throat and
chest exercises, movements for the arms.
legs and waist, all necessary if one would
preserve the youthful contour Of the figure.
In this part of her lecture Nine. Yale laid
great stress on deep brea thing. Deep
breathing and correct walking have more
to do with the preservation of a wonnan's
beauty than any tonic.'' she said.
In the third part Of her talk Nine. Yale
acted the part of a mirror and showed
women how they looked after they had
dropped into careless habits and no longer
held the body in proper poise. She gave
examples in correct and incorrect walk :

with grace and took q number of artistic
poses which showed her we'll developed

| The concluding half hour was devoted
to- directions for removing facial blem-
ishes. wrinkles and other signs of ag,
which are sure to gather on the face OF
the woman who is careless of her personal
appearance and who has failed to put mind
and muscles to the best uses, the preser-
walton of her beauty. g., .|s. ~ r..t
