The day has gone by when we can
truthfully say to the younger genera
tion Beauty is what beauty does"
for it is an acknowledged fact among
women that, irrespective of their men
tai attainments or noble qualities of
heart. they must be youthful in looks
as far into old age as possible.
OF course, the pendulum can swing
too far this way. and a certain class
hold themselves up to ridicule by all
fairminded women; but as a principle.
this assisting nature with simple
means on the outward form and deny
ing age the right to make wrinkles
from within by maintaining a mind
free from nagging worry and heart
clear Of angry dregs. all this is a most
wise step on the part of woman and
one to be commended on all sides.
That the expression, form and tex
ture of the face can be altered. is a
scientific fact. There are just two
conditions that you must always plan
to figure in when working for any
desired result. One is. you must not
expect miracles, and the other, you
must be willing to pay the price. The
one takes patience, the other charac-
ter.
II children were taught in the pub
lie schools that their natural express
sion pictured their general line OF
thought and that their dispositions
could be read by others, then would
We indeed start generation of char
acter builders that would surprise the
most enthusiastic optimist.
The highest type of beauty in our
minds is represented by beauty of
form. beauty of face. beauty of grace.
The right combination of all three is
not very common and. therefore, all
the more to be desired. Yet, women
are often attractive who possess only
one of these three requisites.
The first requisite for decency of
living is neatness. The first requisite
for morality is neatness. The first
requisite for the attainment of beauty
of either face, form or grace is "ex-
quisite neatness' in person, dress and
ways.
Soap and water is great factor to
force one to a higher level from any
walk in life. A woman must first be

aspires ever to sit within the kingdom
where beauty reigns. Bathing must
be a pleasure, and your senses must
be sharpened to become conscious of
any deviation from the standard Tex
quisite."
A Turkish bath is very valuable to

from an unbalanced diet. Thus it
would be sensible to hold that by the
clearing out of the skin several times
year the liability of lodgment for
disease would be reduced to a mini

All cannot avail themselves of the
privilege or expense of Turkish
bath, SO for these homemade Tur-

fact. many find lit preferable.
A homemade Turkish bath is ar
ranged as follows:
Place shallow pan half full of boil
ing water over an alcohol lamp and
set both under a caneseated chair
in one corner of the bathroom. If you
have heating arrangement for the
gas. place over it small cup of boil
ing water to create steam. Be seated
on the chair, and wrap closely around
you fairly heavy blanket. When in
drenching perspiration turn off the
gas, blow out the alcohol light. stand
in the tub quarter full Of luke-warm
water and rub yourself vigorously
with the water. Then start the cold
water, and after a plunge when it is
fairly cold follow with hand friction

that our LONDON season is longer and

Yet. despite sometimes. misdirected

considered the handsomest and was
the tallest in Europe. rising to height
OF $40 feet above the pavement. On
the top was ball supporting a cross
and terminating in an eagle. At the
west end of the edifice were two mas
sive towers. one of which contained
a lookup for ecclesiastical offenders
and was known as the Lollards' tower.

side. and behind it was the great
