banded together to study beauty:
Her neck is long and .exquisitely
arched.
The skin is a pure pale cream, nei-
Their white nor yellow, but a cream OF
milk.
Her expression is remarkably sweet,
always pleasant, never scowling.
Her teeth are the perfection Of beau
~, and she shows them without APP
pearing to do so. Her red lips are
always slightly parted.
She is graceful and has a singularly
pretty way of turning her head.
The above are the best points in a
woman who viii be known in history
as the loveliest woman Of her day.

that the Princess of Pless, daughter o.
Mrs CORVALLIS West, was a famous
beauty of the court in the beginning OF

The princess is a firm believer in the
laws of hygiene Her mother, Mrs.
CORVALLIS West was a great beauty,
and she taught her daughter the value
of beauty baths. When tired TO death
she takes a bath in tepid water, and
into the bath she dashes enough bath
vinegar to be stimulating. At other
times she takes the bath of the south,
the perfumed bath, made fragrant with
benzoin. This is the bath which Amelia
Rives made famous. To a tub file
with water a sufficient quantity of ben
zoin is added to make it milky. The
bath is stimulating and it possesses the
remarkable quality of building up the
constitution while il renews the senses.
The woman with tired headache can
take benzoin bath and be all right.
1t is. the grea test beauty bath that ever
was.
The. princess also. takes a bath of |
bath vinegar, which is made by pour
ing white wine vinegar over rose leaves
and leaving the whole day to ripen.
Her maid takes the contents of pint
jar of rose leaves, empties them into
a deep gallon crock and covers them
with two quarts of white wine vinegar
She then adds about ten drops of pure
ammonia. This makes an excellent To- I
ton for the bath. She throws a cup |
of it in a tub of water.
The beautiful Princess of Pless is one |
of the believers in open air-that is. |
outdoor air. She never closes her Win !!
dows at night. and all her sleeping |
rooms are arranged with what is |
known as cross ventilation. Ii is said |
OF her that she is always the most by
gienic woman in London. Her rooms
are always deliciously well aired.

gard for her home:
In her town house there are no car
pets, and all the rugs are of the thin,
oriental description-rugs that can oe

house. The few pieces are handsome,
costly ones, but there are no dangling
ornaments. She believes in a thorough
busting every day.

at a winter temperature OF
IS degrees. while the English homo
never gets warmer than so degrees.

been stewed,' said a visiting English
man, looking into the faces Of group
Of pretty American women.

sitting in a temperature of 20 degrees
and they were mottled. When they
went out they had caught cold.

who walks will ever be troubled with !
her liver.
