Then there Ia the Czarina. Alix OF Hesse
that was. She Is partly German, partly
English and slightly Russian. and she is
beautiful. Her face is Il clear, lovely oval
and her profile is a dream.
1T Ia her hands that are her main point OF
beauty, for they are b%ewitching. As for her
skin, we'll, the lily has a dark. dlsagreeable
color compared to the exquisite Wilderness
Of the skin Of Alix.

Then | saw Queen Maude OF Norway,
wife OF King Haakon, She is perfect In
figure, with a walk that Is queenly to the
last degree. They say that "a soon as she
knew she was going to be Queen Of Norway
she paid a visit to her mother, Queen Alex
andra in London, and there Dol lessons In
being a real queen.
A real queen, according to Queen Alex
andra, is one who can walk we'll; one who
can carry her head erect; who knows how to
hold her shoulders back; and how to rise and
be seated again.
Queen Alexandra believes that a real
queen understands the art of being well
groomed. She must know how to comb and
how to keep her hair; she must have mas
tered the secrets Of the complexion; she
must know all about the care Of the eyes and
the chin; and she must be primed upon the
art Of keeping thin.

water and quantities OF fog and dampness,
she Is a believer in the virtues of water as
a beautifier. .
"She takes the English cold baths and
believes that the skin should be toughened
! by early walks in the dews and rains. She
has the hard clear skin Of the English woman
and ale has the English woman's beautiful
hands.
