A few of my correspondents doubt that real beauty can be cultivated, and for the benefit of such I wish to re- cite my own expenrience, at the risk or seeming too personal. As a child was just an ordinary little towhead gifted with a talent for music and healthy and strong but not even by vivid imagination could any one call me pretty or attractive. At that age l resolved to go on the concert stage, as my go1ce was considered most ex- cellent. To make a success of con- cert singing I realized that an attrac- tive persona1ity-face and fgure-was well-nigh essential, and [ did not pos sess them.
 I began the study of seIf-inp prove ment and determined to be as beauti- fu1 as Nature woub permit by my own study da and efforts. I did not then, nor style of beauty. Real beauty is spoil ed by the makeup method. On the theatrical stage the makeup" is footlights. But what woman or girl in solfety, where one must meet one's friends fare to. face, can endure the thought of being pointed out as painted thing of beauty
 Nature health and beauty is what I desired, and you, dear reader. must be the judge of whether I succeeded. Some of my dear friends tell me that my complexion, skin and hair are the most beautiful they have ever seen, and that my photographs fail utterly to do my skin, hair and complexion Justice. But enough of this. I know succeeded, and my success as a fav- orite singer was soon my reward.
 Believing that what I have done others may do, am gladly telling my hints to you. The articles and recipes are nearly all of my own selection, and know are superior to the ordi- nary, and this you will find after try ing them
