How many times in your life, when
you've seen some woman looking un-
necessarily hideous, have you heard
some one ask, in genuine bewilder-
ment, do you suppose she doesn't
know any better, or that she doesn't
care?" 1t is uncomfortable that any
woman in her right mind should not
care how she looks, for whatever else
woman may have to occupy her time
and attention, there is practically no
circumstances in life when she is ex-
cusable for neglecting her appearance.
For woman's good appearance is not
the least of her duties to herself, to
the people who love her and to the
strangers she passes by the tens or by
the thousands every day.
Every woman owes it to herself to
look as well as she can because the
tonic effect of knowing that she looks
we'll is too certainly proved to admit
of any further argument. 1t is al
ways sign Of some sort of decay in
woman when she doesn't care how
she looks. Something wholesome and
natural in her has 'slumped," and If
she's a wise woman she will find out
what 1t is and coax it back to par
again. A feminine philosopher l know
says that whenever she feels "blue"
she puts on her best bib and tucker
and goes somewhere-anywhere. AL
most any clever woman will find her
tongue tied on an occasion when she
becomes aware of something radically
wrong with her dress. It's always SO,
has always been so.
A fine disciplinarfan recommends
Sunday clothes for children's tant-
runs" and her advice has been known
IN D4e
intelligence keeps pace with their zeal
invariably clean and groom" and
newly clothe a man or woman they
want to reclaim, knowing that good
personal appearance is one of the
prime essentials of self-respect.
A woman who doesn't care how she
looks must be so lacking in the natural
womanly desire to please as to be al
most or altogether monstrosity. For
besides the effect of good appearance
on herself, the gentlewoman reckons
the pleasure her good appearance gives
those who love her; she knows how
distressing it is to have someone she
loves belle herself in unlovely attire,
and SO, for the sake of those who take
pride in her as we'll as for her own
sake, she makes it point of honor
always to look as we'll as she can.
There's no time nor occasion to stop
and exhibit our stock of virtues to the
multitude; there's no way to fortify
them with the fine knowledge that we
honor our parents and pay our pew
rent and give to the poor; something
of all these things we wear in our
faces, but not every hurried passer is
a keen reader of physiognomy, though
everyone, however hurried, can read
the legend of good grooming and good
clothes. The mission of the woman
who, without giving the effect of SEN
suousness or of a blind passion for
millinery, can manage always to look
sweetly charming, is not below the
mission of the flowers, which do not
the less faithfully perform their share
of the worlds work because they are
beautiful.
So if woman looks unnecessarily
hideous, let us kindly presume it must
be because she doesn't know any bet
ter; let us never, save there be no
loophole of escape. charge any woman
with not caring how she looks, for
that's tantamount to an insult.
1t is said to be fact that the late
Baroness Burdett-Coutts, who despite
her phsical ills was one of the greatest
and most famous philanthropists Eng
land has ever known, was a woman
of remarkable determination. Despite
all pleas and appeals she would not
permit any one of the many old men
employed in her bank in the Strand,
London-the Coutts bank, it is called
to wear hair on his face. The
sprouting of beard was tantamount
to dismissal. Every "clark" had to
be clean shaven, and even the police
man on duty had to have a smooth
face. 1t was quite hardship for some
of the old fellows past so, whose hands
were meme too steady, for not one Of
them would dream of going to a bar
Der to be shaved, but the baroness said
that as long as she lived she would
not tolerate whiskers.
An exhibition which may rightly be
termed unique was recently opened at
Brussels. 1t contains the work of
several queens and members of Euro
pean royal families. For instance, both
the king and queen of Portugal have
contributed watercolor paintings. The
queen of Roumania c'Carmen sylvan
exhibits some beautiful ivory carvings.
