of Miss Curtis's book does not make matters altogether as clear as they might be butolie gathers from it that "Meditation ot tile Way of Silence is a mental discipline by which the habits of sensation inherited from instinctive man together with the habits of thought and emotion acquired by the intellectual and psychic man are ,ali simultaneously transmitted into a hew kind of consciousness." This new consciousness is located in a cerebral glahd— "the pituitary body below the conarium the special organ of the psychic man." Miss Curtis differs from the Christian Scientists ,in not denying the existence of matter. "It is best not to deny facts, conditions, and effects, in the objective plane. It is waste of time to deny tho illness— that can look after itself ; deny its root, its subjective and physical correspondence. Do not deny the headache, but geb at the mental state wlndi brought about the headache and root that out by affirming the quality of principle which knows no such thing." In order to practise silent meditation with beneficial results, the patient is instructed to lock himself in his room, and sit easily on a strong, straight-backed chair. Then •he has to think about . various parts of his anatomy, for instance, his pituitary body, his sacra plexus, his hypogastric plexus, solar plexua, cardiac plexus, and Cervical plexus. Each centre has to hatfe about three seconds meditation devoted to it. Then a deep breath should be taken tod the word "regeneration" should be silently pronounced and "thought into" the various plexus. After "regeneration," it is ad well to try "illumination" and other polysyllables. By thinking these resounding words into one's ahatomy it is possible, Miss Curtis says, to cure oneself of any disease whatsoever, and to enter. incidentally upon a higher plane of existence. Inveterate slaves to the afternoon tea. habit will probably be relieved to know that a sure remedy for the evil effects of the insidious vice is the sotto voce utterance of the word "wisdom" while the cup is, being carried to the lips. "All .women can be beautiful." the line 'is Quoted because of the authorityLady Duff Gordon, the one English dressmaker who haß earned an international reputation. Mannerß may make the man, but dress Makes the Woman. "Ahyohe of plain, features can make herself beautiful if ahe chooses her gowns with an eye to her defects as" well as to her good points. No woman who does not know her defecte can dress herself as she should. If, for example, assuming it to be so, she doesn't realise that her left shoulder is a bit higher than her 1 right, ehe te hopeless. The Woman who fails to realise that her pale blue eyes can be darkened by the colours ehe Wears has still something to learn. Lttdy Gordon Bays:-r"A plain, drab-looking Englishwoman came to me not long ago and said, 'Please 1 make me ScHhe dri&sed that WillfliVe me a little colour, a littlo style.' Truly, she did eeem hopeless—she was bo colourless. Hei ey«&, the features that should control a Woman's clothes, Were pale grey, her hair pale candy, and her figure Wae bad, thin but not graceful. Even her skirt, seemed dull.' I studied her for some time, and then promised to do my befit. You isee, I tealfeedj after studying her, that fihd was the type of wOMatt to take colour from her surroundings. She was a human, chameleon, t decided that her seeming defects must be turned into assets. I told her 1 to give her grey and dull brown dresses to the poor, fot these colours were responsible, practically, fo? ner indefinite: and pale, appearance. 1 created ,a - new atmosphere fpt her. 'Green and a rich blue are your colours,' I told her. 'I cannot Wear greeti',' she Said. 'It will make me look Sallow.' 1 placed he* in .front of a long mirror, took off her unbecoming' brown- hatj aiid draped her with soft green crepe. Then t placed a. larga black velvet hat on her head; and, lo! a beauty was ttiadel All in a minute tho pale grey eyes tuftted green, and the pale sandy hair showed the touches iof gold her former clothes had deadened. I simply resrlteed that geen was the dolour needed to bring out these pointe. Theft I draped her with velvet of the beautiful French blue shade, and her eyes looked >blue, and her skin looked clear and ■ cameo white. This may read like a fairy tale, but it is only the true story of what clothes oari do. With her new clothes, and the fact that she had some degree of beauty, her manner and bearing also changed, atid even }i her friends did not think that she Was beautiful, they dfcided that she must be, because &he waft so sure of herself.— "Marguerite," in th 6 Tasmatiiati Mail.
