LADIES’ COLUMN.

(By “Lydia”). BEAUTY COMMANDMENTS. I. Thou shalt cultivate a love for the beautiful and make thyself look thy best at- all times. Thou shalt strive with infinite care to preserve the beauty that nature hath given thee, and strive always to add what nature has neglected to give. 3. Thou shalt not forget that fresh air and sunshine, right living, and right thinking are the first requisites of health, and that good health is essential to beauty. •1. Thou shalt so order thy time that each day shall be spent to advantage, never neglecting to give the mind and body the daily repose and rest that they require, particularly sleep—“ Nature’s sweet restorer.” 5. Thou shalt assist Nature whenever possible by the use of cosmetics and "ther remedies, remembering that wt live unnatural lives, and therefore must adopt artificial means to preserve and enhance the beauty that nature hath 6. Thou shalt not disgrace Nature by imitating it in an exaggerated manner. f»r one that appears to be artificial; for 'therwise it becomes grotesque and thou wilt appear a caricature. 7. Thou shalt strive to lx' natural ind look natural, just as Nature would have made us had we lived always unJor the smile of her sunbeams and m her pure, invigorating atmosphere. S. Thou shalt never expose thyself to public view when assisting Nature by artificial means, but shalt always do sol in the nrivaev of thv chamber. “Art’

dial conceals art” shall bo thy motto, i.nl inoilesty thy password. 9. Thou shall carefully remove thy make-up every night before retiring, thoroughly cleansing thy face, hands and neck, and gently massaging them with the palms and lingers, and then tplyiiig such unguents as thy c.oinpfrxion nec-deth, so that thou shalt fall into a pleasant and gentle slumber, ind awake next morning refreshed ana revivified for the day’s duties. 10. Thou shalt always remember that .rue beauty comes from within; that :hy inward thoughts are reflected on the countenance; that kind thoughts, j-ood deeds, a sweet temper, aud a sympathetic heart form the best founda.ion cream for the finishing touches hat cosmetics will give thy count.entnce. FASHIONABLE COLOURS. Green is one of the most fashionable colours this year, but when blended with other shades it should be remembered that green only looks well with a neutral tone. Beige or grey is perhaps r good choice of the two. A light, and i deeper shade of green, with grey aciessories, is a very good colour-scheme. Black combines well with any colour :hat is not too dark. Black and white rnd black and pale pink are favourite .deas just, now. Beige is particularly good with bright red or emerald green, and, of i-ourse, can always be worn successfully with brown. It doesn’t look so well with any shade of blue or yellow. Grey is the most accommodating ot ill; it looks right with practically any colour, dark or light.
