The Italian woman never reads in a
dim light; in truth, she never reads
when she is fndispoSed. That is one OF
the secrets OF her marvellous beauty She
takes a complete rest when she is not
feeling very well The American woman
does not do this Her idea Is tnar she
must not give up. So she keeps going
and keeps going until she drops. The
woman Of Italy, that lovely, dangerous
type, rests when she is out of sorts. She
does not overtax her vitality And she
izeeps in better health in consequence
Takes Care of Beauty
The restful type OF woman is the
italian woman
she never has nervous prostration-
She is never fidgety.
She does not know what it is TO be
uneasy, or out of sorts
Though fiery in temperament. she is
Of the peaceful sort
And she Is u woman who keeps her
health and her complexion.
The result OF resting when one does

quickly in The complexion than any

The secret consists in keeping the
fiber of the wool uninjured. It must not
have the natural oil boiled out Of it nor
must the hbers be broken by hard twist

no reason why wooden undergarments
should not be washed as often as any
others, but they must not be left in

Has Long Eyes.

The Italian child is also made to have
long eyes. 1t is said that the father of
Jane Hading, desiring his daughter 10
have long oval-shaped eyes. took her to
an Italian specialist. and that the great
surgeon slit the skin at each corner of
the eyeball. giving the eyes the long.
narrow look which is go much admired
in Jane Hading.
But this is a cruel way to lengthen
the eyes. which should not grow long
in that manner Or if there be such q
secret. il is buried in the mind of the
great italian beauty specialist. But it
is true that the Italians do train their
beauties in other ways and that they
do make their eyes big and full and
lovely by coaxing and by beauty arts
An Italian child is never allowed to
rub its eyes. It never cries. If it bursts
into tears it Is not depressed. but l.
allowed TO have its cry out. This beau
titles the eyes and makes them clear.

hand, out Of mistaken kindness presses

The Italian woman is naturally very
regular of profile. She is Grecian in her
type. rather than Roman, as her proud
pretty features will bear witness She
has a straight nose, rather long. and the
nostrils are full though delicate. When
She breathes and becomes excited these
