How One Woman Met Unexpected Guest

IF had the opportunity Of giving
advice to many new housekeepers, such
as L. said a young married woman who
has done a lot of thinking since her
wedding, ''it would be this: Don't stand
in awe OF your guests
1T is true that I have been married
only a short time comparatively. but
one of the most important things that
I have1earned is never to become wor-
ried or f1ustered in the slightest degree
over the arrival of unexpected guests
The lesson was brought home to me in
q singular way. / observed that a very
dear friend of mine. also a young and
newly married woman, was often COM
pletely upset by the arrival Of casual
callers and especially If she happened
to be entertaining invited guests at the
time. Her condition was so excitable as
to be almost amusing until hooked
closely into the situation as regarded my
self and found that l, too, was troubled
in exactly the same way, although L
had not been conscious of it l then
and there resolved that l would over
come this worry, which is as needless
as 1t is ridiculous. However, must say

Its beautifying power. This sounds fool
ish enough-perhaps too foolish for any
members of the modern feminine vanity

consider for a moment Something Is
now being done in the way Of fashion
and folly that no Roman lady of the
Caesarean period, not even the wicked
and beautiful Poppea herself. would
have thought of doIng-unless there re-
main unexplored points Of history In

has been recognized as admirable from

ter. And yet II Is only the eccentric and
the audacious who think of appearing
with heads crowned by an abundance of
red. crimson, or violet hair. and. Of
course, the hldeous fashion cannot last
or even prevail for a time, but that 1t
should be recognized for a moment shows
a real perversion of taste in the domain

AMERICAN sCUIPTRESS
WORK SHOWN IN ROME

The well known American sculptress
Mrs. Maynard Ladd CAnna Coleman Ladd
OF Boston,, has been invited to execute
five bronze groups for the Panama-Pa-
cihc Exposition, according to the New
York Sun. Before her recent departure
from Rome, where she spent last winter,
she exhibited some of her works there.
Mrs. Ladd is the only sculptor for whom
Eleanora Duse ever posed. and her statue
Of the Italian actress has been greatly
admired.
Mrs. Ladd brings to America a bronze
fountain called SPRAY and Wind" con-
sisting of five dancing figures in grace
full poses, which represent the play of
wind tossed waters
Another Of Mrs Ladd's works is The
Sword" The slender figure OF nude
woman stands over the body Of q man.
which II pIerces as II were like q sword.
The contrast OF the two figures. one
standing and the other lying down, Is
heightened by the fact that the sword
is silvered while the victim is in dark
bronze.

Human Instrument represents a man

Beauty Culture Past and Present

We hear a good deal about beauty cul-
ture and are somewhat inclined to think
1t a new art, at least in some Of its de-
veiopments. The truth is it Is not a new
art at all. but one. II not as old as the
hills. at least nearly as old as Eve One
of the instruments used by the pro-
fessors of beauty culture is the face
mask, whole or partial. to be worn dur
ing sleep as a preventive OF wrinkles. 1t
Is Of kid. with apertures for the eyes,
nostrils and mouth. A similar apparatus
under different forms was well known
to the ancients, and barbaric times in
tervening did not allow 1t to be forgot
ten. Beauties of the Renaissance period
took 1t up, and We find Marguerite de
Valois, the good Queen Margot, wearing
mask at night In order to preserve
her beauty. We read also that her hus-
band, Henry ". objected to It. After
she was divorced from him, and when
Marie de Medicis had taken her place,
did she continue the practice? Probably,
as this royal Marguerite was not only
coquette when young, but lived to be
very old coquette. Baths enter largely
into the system of modern cultivators
OF physical beauty. but these beautifying
baths consist seldom of pure water. In
gradients are put into them which are
supposed to have a more or less marvel
Gus effect on the skin. There is nothing
new in this practice any more than in

In the case Of a full abdomen a corset
larger in the waist line than usually
worn should be bought The flesh can
then be raised and distributed about
the waist line and above II to the great
Improvement Of the figure
Many persons have an idea that by
lacing in at the waist line an impression
Of slenderness Is given. Yet never was
there a greater mistake. Indeed. such
a practice acts In the opposite direction.
forcing the bust and hips into promI-
nence and making the figure look stouter
than It really is. and, then, again. tight
lacing at that point Is actually Injurious,
Women should. indeed, be grateful that
the wasp waist has entirely disappeared
and nature Is allowed to assert itself.
No fashion was ever kinder to women
kind than the vogue Of the large waist.
Lacing below the waist line Is per
fectly harmless, but there should always
be plenty Of room over the hiaphram
to allow OF proper breathing. Once this
part feels comfortable, the corset may
be made as tight as one pleases over
the hips without doing the least harm.
For fail bust. the corset must always
be cut low. regardless OF the styles pre-
vailing at the time Just now the low
bust Is popular. A high-cut corset will
make the wearer look stouter than she
really is, while II she is short as well
as stout she will look like a pOuter pig
con parading.
While the bust should be cut low there
Is no necessity for the cores running
down to the actual waist line, as IS
seen in some exaggerated models To
my thinking, this style makes the wearer
look sloppy. When high buSts are in
fashion the stout woman should still
wear a low-cut corset and have fairly
substantial bust supporters attached to
the top Of the corset. This will hold the
figure perfectly and give all the effect OF
a high corset without its discomfort
The average figure can take care OF
itself It is catered TO in the ready-to-
wear corset but the very thin woman
often finds the question OF a suitable
corset a trying one. In her case, the
bones will probably give her pain, while
Il the strings are left rather loose the
corset will slip up and become very
uncomfortable. Corsetieres claim that
the only thing to do. II style and COM
fort are the aim. is to draw the strings
fairly tight and then call in the aid OF
frills and judicious p<dding. This ap-
plies only to the unusually thin person.
Another plan Is to wear the corset put
on like drawers. II these are strapped
tightly the corset will not ride up.
Stocking suspenders play an important
part in the set Of the corset Three
