Beautiful Women.
1 Beautiful ? No woman need bo anything, else. No matter how poor and coarse her hair is, it can be remarkably well kept and bo becomingly arranged as to be admired ; the most irregular teeth can be polished like ao many pearls, and clean teeth and a sweet breath are not bo common as to be despised ; white hands, and tapering, polished nails will atone for a very ill shape of hand. What if the feet are large, if they ore well shod ; If the figure is poor it can be so clean, so healthy-looking, and so delicately perfumed that your very presence will be wholesome and refreshing, and I tell you, clothes make the refmement that belongs to a lady or gentleman. Indeed, the raiment is typical of much that is within. If nature has meagrely bestowed her charms, that is the very reason why a woman should have recourse to art. If she cannot shine in musio, painting or the sciences, she can become a pleasant, if not a brilliant, talker. She can read and observe and be un authority on current literature, and if she will but study the why and wherefore of thin&s, and the very best points in h«?r friends, she can make herself a circle that will be the very envy of her prettiest competitor.
