and unless the motions of the body are
graceful a W oman cannot appear at her
best.
There is a great deal of talk about
the beauty of the soul shining through
the skin and there is a lot of chatter
about the Importance of a good heart
and correct emotions. This is all right,
of course. But, fortunately or unfor-
tunately, all women are born into a
world which is critical. The eyes can
see and the senses are alert. The eye
demands beauty, and no matter how
good a woman may be she loses a great
deal of her power if she is not good to
gaze upon.
The woman who depends upon a good
heart alone has very little upon which
to work. But If to her good heart she
will add a charming personality, then
her power for good will be great. A
beautiful woman succeeds where an
ugly woman fails: a beautiful woman
Influences one where another does not;
d beautiful woman fascinates her fam
lily and keeps them fascinated, and a
beautiful woman lives III the memory
when others have faded away. So,
don't neglect your beauty chances.
The hair is justly termed a woman's
crown of beauty. 1t should surround
her head in just the right manner,
framing her face and setting off the
eyes. 1t should bring out the colors and
make the features seem softer and more
delicate.
Dull, faded hair, worn scraggy, will
not do this. The woman who does not
study her hair makes a great mistake.
She should shampoo it until there is a
gloss to 1t. Then she should learn how
to dress it. She should lower 1t for
evening until it dresses up the neck and
shoulders. And for day she should coil
it high and becOmingly. Nor should
she despise the art of the curling tongs
and the subtle ways by which the hair
is dressed out in thin places.
The lean and faded face can be treat
ed through the complexion. which is the
second aid to beauty The face must
be massaged every night and with a
food which pumps it out.
The old-fashioned mutton tallow skin
food made sweet with Lavender. and
creamy with almond OIL is the best
thing known. 1t can have just a touch
of coloring substance in it and then 1t
will resemble the cream of the bellies
of the Old South. This will surely
plump out the flesh. add color and
make the face sweetly fresh in tone.
The hands should be kept very white
and very fat. One can scarcely have
hands that are too plump, though, alas,
very few people have fat hands. The
skin ard flesh of the hands are peculiar.
At this time a very slow change be-
gins to come over them. They lose
their flesh and they begin to show their
bony structure. The knuckles are re-
vealed and their covering of skin and
slnews are painfully apparent. In time
they shrink and shrivel until they are
-like--the hands one so often sees
in the old!
But this is not necessary. The hands
need moisture and the skin must be fed.
They also need exercise. Not exercise
with certain fingers nor with certain
muscles, but regular exercise for the
whole hand. Let the hands be soaked
daily In a warm, rich soapy water and
let them be treated in a paste nightly
and they will surely retain their
beauty.
If, after washing, woman will
cream her hands very we'll and hold
them by the fire for fifteen minutes she
will have as charming a pair of hands
as one could want.
And then the matter of weight. If a
woman only knew how much charm
was lost by over weight. The woman
who weighs twenty pounds too much
! adds ten years to her age; the woman
who weighs ten pounds too much adds
at least five years. correct weight
is such joy to a woman, an over
weight such a burden.
The teeth are very important factors
| In the makeup of physical perfection
| Fat women very often have poor teeth
and poor digestion. They cannot
properly masticate their food. A good
| dentist will remedy all this. And, ir
! tehse days, there are cosmetic dentists
who will make the teeth look as good
as new.
