MAKING A PLAIN
WOMAN BEAUTIFUL

1.-The most impossible woman in my
class" said beauty doctor. sis one
who has no good points at all. She is
| thin as rail, and her face is like a
walnut Every bone shows, and the
| bridge of her nose is high and horny,
This woman came to me and said:
"T want to look pretty. Dress me
as you will
Taking a good long look at her,
said:
ing short of fire persuade you take it
Off And. even in a fire, keep it on as
long as you can. Don't take it off until
the flames lick it off, for your hat is
your salvation
..Then 1 worked at her hair until it
was a mass of dolly curls and tiny lit
tie ringlets. No spoiled beauty of the
olden time ever surrounded her face
of hair as did this woman. Perhaps I
bleached them just tri1e to give them
that lovely deep, golden brown, red
dish bronze tinge.
''Then I built her hat. 1t was SO
big that it fairly overshadowed her.
1t sloped downward at the back and
downward at one side, while the other
side fairly dripped with long curling
feathers.
1T was charming. When I set it
upon her head she nearly cried with
joy
To think I should live to see my
self look like that she said.
And then she fell to work coaxingi
me to complete the job.
'' Learn to hold your chin up said 1.
And of course you viii always wear a.
band of something around your throat.
A little lace or slender jeweled dog
collar will do; but be sure to hold your
chin up.
Next learn to be coQuettish. Turn
your head a little to one side. Lift your
chin. Let your head rest we'll back
and cultivate happy expression.
You have nice teeth. Learn to
smile. Let your upper lip wrinkle over
your teeth until you have that happy,
girlish look at which we all aim.
land all the while keep your head
back. Your eyes will look pretty and
your hat Will shade them so that they
will look expressive
''She did as told and scored a success.
She has even been called a beauty.
There are women who are of the
saucy type. and these can look you
right in the eye. They are best with !
the full front face exposed to view, be
cause the mouth looks saucer SO.
Women with the long nosed sort of
face look best with the head as far /
back as possible The Margaret Anglin
type of face looks best so.
1.-The girl with small features should .
mart her hair and let you see her with |
full frort face. The girl with classic !
face should part her hair and comb it
hack at the sides in a roll such as
they wore in 1860 1t shows off the girl
ish temples.
"Au women should study the trick
of showing the teeth without appear
ing to do so. and all should try to have
dimpIes.'

progressive Arithmetic" by William
j. Milne, president OF the New York
State Normal College, consists of three
books, and has been prepared to meet
the demand which has sprung up in
some quarters for a treatment of the
subject upon somewhat new lines. This
treatment does not, however, depart
from the old and tried methods which
have gained the widest use throughout
the country.
The author has preserved these old
er features, and infused them with new
life by a combination vsith what Is
best in modern methods Of instruction.
Built upon a definite pedagogical plan.
these books teach the processes OF
arithmetic in such a way as to develop
the reasoning faculties. and to train
the power of rapid. accurate and skill
fyl manipulation OF numbers. The in
ductive method is applied. leading the
pupils TO discover truths for them
selves, but 10 is supplemented by model
solutions and careful explanations of
each new step.

Half Hours With Fishes, Reptiles
and Birds" by Charles Frederick Hol-
der, is intended for supplementary
reading in the fifth year. but also pro-
yides an excellent introduction to the
study of zoology. In it certain forms
of animal life are presented on broad
lines divested of technica1ities, and at
almost every step supplemented by
explanatory illustrations. The EFFORT
has been made to omit all dry and un-
important details. and to include in
teresting facts and incidents known
personally to the Writer. Fishes, rep
tiles and birds are each taken up at
some length, the chief classes being
described and their general formation

ed out.
