New Gospel of Prettiness.

Serenity. not ~vivacity. is the chief
aid to beauty.
DR.. Bertha Scher, a Viennese beauty
adviser, says:
"Brainstorms. envy, nagging, nerv-
and jealousy, all these things
women must stamp out of their lives
if they would be healthy and fair.
Serenity is more than a fad among
up to date ome who make the most
Of themselves. After years of wasting
nervous energy American women are
beginning to understand how inimical
to good looks and we'll being are. the
habits of hurry and worry.
"Poise and good cheer are now being
practiced as %religiously as deep breath
ing exercises and gymnastics. 'Vivac-
ity at any cost which used to be the
longer observed.
"And, thanks to the change, we are
less afflicted with nervous gigglers and
| empty chatterers than formerly. In
| view of present Improvement in wom-
ans self control and manner we may
even hope for a time when an after
noon tea in full swing won't sound like
a babel of monographs.
"In New York, where l have spent
several years, the women are even
more carefully groomed than those
whom l knew in Paris, where matrons
actually fifty-five years old deemed 1t
a disgrace to look more than thirty
years old. With proper habits Of liv-
ing, thinking and grooming, any wom-
an can be young and attractive look
ing even at the grandmother period.
ITO me there is something sad in
the appearance Of a woman who seems
to be surrendering meekly to the touch
es of time. A woman too stout or too
thin,' who merely combs her hair any
old way and allows lines and sagging
muscles to disfigure her face. is really
pathetic"
