her discourse her beautiful face was IL
Illuminated with a tremulous smile OF
tender sympathy and almost her first
words gave hopeful assurance to her
hearers that the attainment of physical
beauty was possibility to every one OF
them.
THE very fact that God has implanted
In your breast a desire to be beautiful
Is sufficient proof that you were intend

must be said that she has both created

woman of forty-five would have dared
to claim that she had found the foun-
tain of youth and then present herself
for such severe inspection The fact
that Nine. Yale has demonstrated with
her own body that her remarkable the
cries are true gives weight to her
words. Women have been slow to be-
Ieve her wonderful claims but as she
appears year after year looking fresher
and prettier, yes, and younger too they
cannot help but believe there is a truth
IN her constantly reiterated statement.
There is no such thing as old age.
When you have learned to use and care
for your body properly. the years will
only add fresh charms" 1t has taken

deep and unfaltering Conviction to
preach such doctrine. But the wall Of
opposition has fallen before her. Her
success Is sweeping and worldwide in
water she is received with as much
enthusiasm as is felt by her country
women. To no other woman is accorded
such hearty and complete respect and
confidence by her sex
The history of this successful woman
is an interesting study of the evolution
OF thought into a science. First as an
artist working in Boston, she IS seen as
plain, awkward girl student, striving
to express with her brush the beauty
that was denied her. Then in Italy as
clever young sculptor she began to
delve into the practical study of the
human body. The thought had begun
to take form-that If the inanimate stone
could be nodded into symmetry, the
living tissue should be still more respon-
sive. Here her experiments led her into
chemistry, where her success has inGeed
been marked. She has evolved some of
the most wonderful preparations, out
rivaling the jealousy guarded balms and
unguents with which the beauties of the
orient are said to preserve their youth
full charms for an incredible number of
years. Physical culture by proper exer-
else also came in for due attention, and
the Yale System is now acknowledged
to be the most thorough and scientific of
all methods for developing the human
form. Her business has grown to enor-
nous proportions and is personally SUI
perintended by her. Yet she finds time
to appear publicly every year to teach
by example and precept the possibili-
ties and the duty of beauty culture.
Long may her work continue and her
teachings bear fruit. Long NAV this
