HOW TO PREPAR FOR OLD AGE.
BY BLANCHE BEACON

To be exact, how to prepare for mid
die age. 1t is the young girl vet n her
teens who stops to realize what may
be her fate in the ~forties. who can take
the forties gracefully and attractiVsly.
TIC my mind, the training for beauty
in middle age should begin when the
child is about 6 years old. The care-'
full mother will begin to take stock of
her baby girl and determine what nat
urauy disappointing features are to be
remedied. and what good points en-
phaSized.
I was telling a mother of this very
thing, but she interrupted me with:
That would mak my little daugh-
ter very vain and too thoughtful of
herself. A s~elf-conscious child is an
unpleasant one

would be likely to cause vanity, / as

can be done wisely and taoughtfully,
not frivolously or over-importantly.
Inc !ime to worry about the forties
is IN the teens. Let the girl of l6
think of 46, and erect her bulwaras
against middle g now. She can do
this by a little systematic to

1lgure. Begin to send her to the mani

If you want to use paint, do it honestly.

From time immemorial, woman has
sought In some way or another to i'm
prove or change her particular style
OF beauty. In past time, it has been
done less skilfully and less comfort
ably than now.
1t was mostly a matter Of witch
craft in olden times. The successful
warlock was the one who had the finest
collection of balms and lotions. But
because witchery was under a rather
heavy ban, the maiden who wished to
Whiten her cheek or hand was Obliged
to resort to the enveloping cloak and
mask and betake herself by secret paths
to some gloomy den for her sa1ves and
ointments.
Now it is rather different. Improve
ment is looked upon as a legitimate
and natural thing. Madame is not
forced to apply her powder in dead
lest secrecy. Most men are pleased
rather than shocked when little Miss
F1ancee, on seeing HIM appear, hastily
Gabbles a bit of rice powder on her
small nose and chin. 1t matters his
personal vanity thai she should want

WHAT Is BEAUTY?

We say that Helene is beautiful, yet
If we hou cover the upper part of
her face with a cloth and look only
at her mouth. it would suddenly dawn
upon US that that feature is really too
large and, in fact, rather ugly.
In the same a we speak of blond
Alice having an insipid face. Yet, the
most critical observer, if he stopped
to analyze her face would be forced
to admit that every detail was ex-
quisitely formed and placed with re-
latlon to the other features.
How a we, then, erect any single
standard of beauty. l will admit that
| have formed a standard, and it is
this: that no girl is a. true beauty I'M
less she car look well, even beautiful
at any hour of the day, or in any
costume.
Yet one of the men / know, who is
a dilettante and a well known art
critic, claims that to him no girl is
beautiful unless her beauty varies con-
stantly. In other words, he is pleas
antly piqued When Elsie, who yester-
day was triumphantly lovely, today
looks somewhat faded and monde
script.
If o are the kind of a woman who
looks even moderately well all the
time, play up to that point. Try to
be seen all the time and in as varied
aspects as possible. If you are like
Elsie, who, chameleon-like, changes
her coloring, play up to that. When
you are radiant, wear radiant rainbow
hued gowns When it is your grey
day wear subdued pastel shades. You
will be surprised to see how interesting
it makes you. People will continually
argue the question of rs she, or is she
not?" It's fun after all.
TO think thai all the people borr
into this world every year have faces
totally different is astounding. There
is something in every face that either
is or can be made h beauty-motif.

VINO hesitates to bestow a few dabs of

Concealment VS.. frankness is car
ried still farther by some women.
Aside from their auction methods of
flesh reducing, their servant problems
and new recipes, the most frequent
topic of conversation is some new
beauty stunt.
After all, in this age of semi-scien-
tific aids to beauty, most people are
familiar with them. 1t is said that
the woman who resorts to false aids
d~eceives nobody but herself-and now
not even herself. 1t is a pitiful thing
to see the woman who is obviously
bleached, made up or otherwise arti-
fetal, try to conceal it and patiently
to deceive her friends. If it is to your

Bend From the Hip.

81 don't have time to do any physi-
cal culture stunts; 1 have SO much
homework to do"
How many times do you hear a wom-
an make this remark when o have
called her attention to some well set
up friend and remarked that she went
through a physical culture regime.
The woman who does homework is
in the best possible place for practic-
ing physical culture--she can make her
housework the basis of the very best
physical culture exercises. For instance,
when a woman stoops to pick up some-
thing from the floor she must bend
from her hips. This is a exer-
else for the tightening of the abdominal
muscles M reducing the hips. Very
few women realize how often they stoop
to pick up things and they invariably
do it by bending the knees. This is
all right If you are rheumatic and
rather stiff.
