Beauty is represented as the outward
Lroof of a beautiful soul: that alone
should inspire women to take the great
est care OF their personal appearance
Beauty with want of care in the ar
rangement of the attire IS suggestive
OF Incidence and lack OF appreciation Tor
God-given gem, a gem which, with the
proper setting has founded empires, ana
when as Ruskin SAYS, II has been mis-
directed, it has also wrecked them. But
the beauty which wrecks IS the beauty
which is short liked. Real beauty can be
rkened to the roses of spring Which die,
but never fade-first the young and ten-
Ger shrub then the larger and greener
leaf, then the bud and lastly the full
blown rose whose fragrance steals into

exercise. and where women literally live
on excitement would be overcome by the
woman who aspires TO be beautiful, she
must study the demands of her hair
and skin, or seek advice from those who
have made the matter a study.
Many times a beautiful woman loses
her attractions very much sooner than
her palmer sister. She feels that no ef-
fcrt is required on her part TO be any
thing more than pretty and that her
beauty will remain of itself; her talk is
usually small and her mind an empty
