"LOOK-YOUNG" SOCIETY.
"The Society for the Promotion of Physical Beauty" is the latest novelty at Chicago; where a number of prominent ladies , met in solemn conclave recently and resolved: "That it is tho duty of every woman to attain perfect physical beauty; and if Nature is deficient in her gifts it becomes a boundon duty to overcome the defects." The president of the society, Dr. Grace Graves, drew up the following statutes, which each member swore to observe :— "Look-young. The Bible says the glory of woman is in 'her'hair. But it does not say that the 'hair must grow on her head. The woman who pays a large price for. a naturally waving pompadour •is certainly privileged to call it her hair. Scant hairs and bald spots would have mado Helen of Troy a fright. Ugliness- is a physiological sin, a discord in the'-harmony of existence, and should be remedied."
