New Forms of Exercise

For one thing, she must change her 1 form of exercise. There are some women who grow stronger as they advance in years When this is the case we con- tinue to advise the daily walk We have three customers who were beauties in Ward McAllisters time, and who walk Fifth avenue each afternoon for the whole length of Central park. But most women who are old enough to have mar ried sons and daughters find this too fatiguing
 For women who cannot walk we ad- wise artificial exercise. This Is given by means of massage. The masseuse who understands her business will massage her patients so that every muscle In the | body gets Its due share of exercise We have a customer who has mar ried children. This woman is hailed ev- anywhere as a great beauty, but did the general public know the straits to which we are put to keep her in trim 1t would divide its admiration between the beauty of the woman and the faithfulness of the | woman's beauty expert
 This woman makes a speciality of good grooming. We see to it, for instance, that her boots are becoming. She has tops to match each gown, and as many pairs of boots as there are days In the year. l One trouble with women who are get ting little past youth is that they neg lect their feet. They reason that almost any shoes will do, and they count on the fact that feet do not show much. But | they do show. A man looks first at a woman's feet. Then he looks at her face. woman giances at the feet second; but she takes them in just the same. 'The woman past her first freshness should have boots as pretty as those of the debuntante, and prettier. She cannot afford to run a single chance of being criticised.
 | Then there Is the matter of size A woman's feet never stop growing If she wears four shoe at 20, she will wear five at 90. and at 40 she will wear a six The size of the shoe makes little difference in the looks. It is the trim ness that counts-trimness, coloring, style. and match.
 Then the hands. Why is 1t that elder ly women forget the charm of well-cared | for hands? We have one customer who is grandmother, and who. when she goes to London for the season, is herald ed as a great American beauty This wQman's chief charm is her hands s'Each day they are pumped with oils, bleached with fruit juices smoothed with cream while the nails are made as pink as seashells. suclA course of treat ment keeps the hands from getting into that bloodless. shapeless condition which afflicts the hands of the women of mid dle age.
 T advise women to grow old in their own way. Don't be peculiar, but study your style and cater to 1t.
 We have a beauty who is just getting Eready to marry of her oldest daughter She finds it hard to acknowledge that she is older than her daughter. We are trying to persuade her to adopt the colors of middle age. They will make you look young we tell her.
 '"rhe colors of middle age are white, shell pink. delicate blue. and the lightest possible violet never yellow and never black. With the pale tones the delicacy of the skin comes out. But this foolish woman still wears turquoise. She still puts on corn color and she revels in a brilliant sea green Sometimes she dons brown, which Worth said would destroy any woman over 40. and have seen her in black, which made her look at least ten years older than white.
 Never wear gold lace,' I say to my patients. Gold lace was good in the time of Louie xI. but in these days 1t is sadly abused Gold lace may be worn by the old wom- an. but never by the woman who is struggling to keep young. It has its place in the rousseau of the bride, bu, 1t should never be worn by the woman of 70 or 30 who wants to be youthful in appearance.
