Africa.
In Tunis 1 used to walk in the ba-
Ears with a native guide and he would
say: Here, Mademoiselle, comes a
very beautiful lady" The beautiful
lady" was invariably enormously shout
One day ] said to him: "Mustapha,
do all your countrymen admire fatness
in a woman?'
'FMut, yes, Madamselle," lie answer
ed, earnestly. why should any one
admire a woman who showed her
bones? We in Africa like to see a
woman large-very large
l thought of several of my friends
who were struggling ito reduce their
weight, denying themselves many COM
forts and losing health in the process,
and wondered if they would be happy
in Africa.
Figure is Everything.
Most women hate to be fat; there IS
no doubt of that.
The average woman will sacrifice
her face to her figure.
She will grow wan and haggard
in dieting and extreme exercise, but
if the scales tell her each day that
she has lost few ounces, she will not
fret over her altered looks.
Mo woman is beautiful unless she is
healthy.
1t is not necessary to have brilliant
pink cheeks, for many beautiful skins
are of clear, healthy pallor
but it is nisce0,ary that your eyes be
clear, and they won't be unless you are
healthy
Real Beauty.
OF course, no woman with any desire
for good locks ever touches intoxicanss
Of any kind
You can't drink and preserve a good
complexion. Fortunately, most women
prefer the complexion to the drink.
Beauty Of expression is deeper than
beauty of feature or coloring.
You may have good complexion
and straight features, but if your
mouth droops in peeviJh, bad-temper-
ed lines, you will not be generally con-
sidared good looking.
Beauty of expression lasts TIL old
age, whereas coloring fades and fea-
lures greatly change.
A straight nose is very desirable,
there is no debut about that, but if
you are born with tip-ti!ted one, all
the fussing on earth won't change its
curves.
Healthful, sensible living will hop a
long way toward good complexion.
Content will give you a sweet ,ex-
preston. If you are a wise woman
you will do your bsst to gain bot
completion and expression.
| Men admire a straight carriage and
good figure in a woman. We do no
live in Africa, so it is not necessary 10
weigh over 200 pounds to gain admira-
ton from the opposite sex.
But don't wear yourself out in tie
effort to get thin
Take moderate amount of exercise
an eadt reasonably, and that is as
much as it is wise orvsafe to do. Many
women lose their health and never re-
gain it in their mad pursuit of slim
ness.
To be beautiful you must be happy.
and YOU must lie healthy. Don't forg

II is said that the creatures that

weeps, and we are also told that the
bear sheds tears when IL comes TO a
consciousness of its last hour The
giraffe is not less sensitive and regards
with fearful eyes the hunter who has
wounded It. This animal also weeps
through downright nostalgia. Dogs
also are held to be lachrymose, and
the same holds In the case of certain
monkeys. Sparrman states the ele-
plant sheds tears when wounded or
when it perceives that 1t cannot es-
cape.
Aquatic animals, too. 1t appears, are
able to weep. Thus, many authorities
agree. dolphins at the moment Of
death draw deep signs and shed tears
abundantly. A young female seal was
observed to weep when leased by
sailor. st. Hllaire and Cuvier re-
