HoU0 10 Be Beautiful

The most famous beauty specialist in
Paris has for the foundation Of making
one beautiful these doctrines:
To be beautiful, surround yourself
with beautiful objects and environ
ments beautiful pictures. objects OF
art. tasteful and beautiful draperies.
n harmonious colors.
II is not necessary that these things
be IN the least costly. 1t is necessary
that the merest household ornaments
and effects be pleasing and TestfuL The
pictures need not be oil paintings nor
even water cOIors. Many beautiful pic
lures are culled from inexpensive mag
azln and MOUNTED on cardboard. or
purchased in the shops for a few
cents.
Hang upon your wall pictures that
appeal 10 you. subjects that rest tn
mind as the eye falls upon them-Iand-
scapes. water scenes, or beautiful hg-
ures. The body is affected BY and

Surround yourself as much as possible
with exquisite flowers. but 10 not put

We sleep. They absorb too much air.
The Washington times., 1907-01-07

Arranging flowers is an art 10 which
every woman should give some atten-
ton. Il may be true that In this country
many flowers in the winter are only for
the truly rich, but II Is equally true
that the most graceful and pleasing ef-
feet may b gained with only one OF two
blossoms. and an entire room frightened
by them. Almost any woman can anord
these occasionally and viii be more than
repaid.
The most common error in handling
flowers that they are apt TO be Jammed
into a vase or hrust down too deep
Lightness is an essential 10 grace, and
the difference is most admirably eX-
pressed in the two pictures showing car
nations. the dollhouse flowers most used
in winter in this country. The anna

putting several blossoms or even a whole
bunch IN at one time, and this is watal
