The cultivation of beauty vanity? II
is a duty each enc owes to self, but espe-
cially is it a duty of woman-the world
| looks to woman for the refining delica-
cies Of life.
Every thought. every touch. every in
fiuence that inspires the sense of beauty
is just so much added to uplifting and
redeeming the world from sordidness
and gloom.
1t is woman's privilege, and should at
ford her pleasure. that she can be the
object of her husbands admiration: she
can be the realization of art In his home
in his life She can be the daily re-
freshing inspiration to father. mother.
brother. sister. child or sweetheart, and
thus lend an unconscious educational in
fiuence-uplifting and refining.
woman lends to the physical COM
fort of the home by her mind-the home
atmosphere-by attention to herself-to
mind. soul, heart and body.
God put beauty into every grain Of
sand. into every cloud OF the sky, into
every leaf and vine and bud and flower,
into every shadow and high light Look
where man WILL beauty is everywhere.
and where in all life is a more beautiful
production OF natures handiwork than
piece. with the Godhead pervading and
speaking and moving through it.
Curves, lines and hinges in all mans
creative works are copied from the hui
man figure. Yet deeper and more thar
the physical beauty is the suggestive
power of the spirit-culminated in man
alone.
The purpose Of the Creator in sur
rounding man with these beauties and
endowing him with eyes to see and mind
to appreciate was surely to inspire him
to reach up to the cultivation through
their study-to show him a beautiful pur-
pose therein.
Is not all beauty eternal? AS it sinks
into mans consciousness. does it not
stamp its impress upon the soul?
In the study of the embryo of human
life-the spirit-shall We forget the ex-
preston of the physical beauties which
foster its development? In the study of
the spiritual shall We forget the study
Of the delicate home given TO it? As d
frame gives setting to beautiful pic
ture SO doth the body reflect the soul.
The silken tresses CLINT the sunlight
the pearly wilderness of the teeth. the
coral tints OF the hands. the lights and
shades. given to the face by the softness
OF the hair. all speak of a subtlety-al-
luring-just beyond our reach.
1t Is no shallow sense of coquetry that
makes woman the happier because she
Is conscious Oh her attractiveness. The
desire to please generally brings out the
highest In a woman, not the lowest. The
cultivation Of beauty exerts wholesome
reaction upon the individual as well as
an influence on those about her.
When a woman looks her best she feels
better. can accomplish more and is hap

April 7-Sopbie Wallmoden.

Two hundred and ten years ago to-
day Amelia Sophie Wallmoden was
born in Hanover. and it is as the
Countess of Yarmouth. the favorite Of
King George ii of England. that she
is remembered to fame. Not at all
clever. but possessed OF a sprightly
manner. an amiable disposition. and all
the attractions of a Teutonic blonde.
she attracted the attention of George
II. when o. a visit to his ancestral
home in Hanover. Sophie was married
at this time. but this did not stand in
the way of her acceptance Of the GAL
lantries of the king. nor did Queen
Caroline. the kings wife. put up any
protests against his infatuation. How
ever. this complacence was probably
simply part of a necessary policy on
the part Of the queen.
The speech Of the king at the death
bed of the queen is celebrated. The
queen had asked the king anxibusly
whether or not he thought of marry
ing again after her death.
NO" said the king with characters
tic frankness. Il shall not do that. I
shall have mistresses."
All" sighed the queen with deep re-
lief, that doesn't matter"
The king was as good as his word.
Both promises he kept. He never mar
ried and he INSTALLED Sophie WALL
modem in the palace of st. :ames with
all the frankness and candor which
was characteristic Of him. In the
meantime Sophie was divorced from
her husband and was created Countess
Of Yarmouth. The king had hoped
that she would take part in affairs Of
state. but that she was not At for the
part Of a Pompadour Sophie knew as
well as any one else and discreetly
kept her fingers from medd;.ng. The
king never lost his affection for her.
although he honored other women with
his regal attentions during her life
time. After his death she returned to
Hanover with her two sons. who were
reputed to De descendants of the king.

Objection to Pork.

You are right in saying that hogs are
no more scavengers than chickens. One
chief objection to pork is that in prepar-

For a Pair of Shoes.

She was a very pretty. really rather
clever little society woman, and yester-
day morning she made up her mind that
she would buy another pair of shoes
She didn't know just exactly what sort
Of shoes she wanted, but she was in the
shoe-shoppins mood. and SO she tripped
off to her favorite outfitters.
AS she walked down Pennsylvania ave-
nue. she passed many fashionably shod
women and as she watched them she
made mental notes of the sort of shoe
that she might wish to purchase. The
windows too, decked out N everything
from a fat-heeled. white-soled tennis
sneaker to the latest Cinderella dancing
slipper. attracted her attention. Shoes
became an absorbing subject for the
morning.
Il want to buy a pair of Shoes" she
told the salesman in that sweet cult
waited tone of hers. II don't know just
what sort of shoes. You might show me
a pair of those side-lace oxfords, and
let me see a pair of English walking
pumps, and some evening SLIPPERS. am
a little undecided about just what /
want
1t was a half hour later. 81 don't
really know what 1 want" she told the
salesman, suppose you show me some
bronze dancing slippers" and the patient
salesman went back for the twentieth
pair of shoes
BY the clock, a whole hour had passed
since she came in the store, and she had
bought nothing. She was debating
whether she should get a pair of blac k-
and-white kid high shoes. with white
stitching or with black stitching. 1T
isn't a very important difference. she
said, but I just can't decide" Then,
after pause, Il think l perhaps won t
get either today. Let me see pair of
patent-leather pumps. please"
One hour and thirty minutes had passed
q style of footwear that a young and
pretty society woman might think Of
wearing had been neglected. She was
standing before the mirror. looking at
two neatly laced new boots she was
wearing. Il hardly know whether to
take these or not she said. But
think l will. nd then" she added with
a sweet assurance ''if 1 find / don't like
them ] can just send them back / have
a charge account"
The salesman had been patient, tact
full and long-sufferins for an hour and a
half
Madame he said almost sadly. IF
you think that you do not want TO keep
these shoes please don't take them at
ALL"
But the little society lady did have the
shoes sent home, and it is ten to one
that they are to be returned tomorrow,
because she is the sort of woman who
for some reason never thinks of making
any purchase until they have spent sew
eral hours of salesman's time
Washington is actually full of just such
women. 1t is not at all unusual for a
woman to take an hour and a half over
tne purchase OF one pair OF shOes, or one
hat or one gown. Yet these very women
are the very women who are full OF
public spirit and philanthropic ideals. OF
course. they believe in the eight-hour
day for the people who work in the
stores: of course. they think that a mimi
mum wage ought to be established by
law. II is just a matter of thoughtless-
ness. Their attention has never been
called to their own inconsistency.
