ABOUT GOOD LOOKS.

LEAD A HEALTHY LIFE. "I find it difficult to write on how to be beautiful. For, frankly, I havo never thought nlnut it (says a prominent London beauty). I have thought a little about beauty in nature, in poetry, in plays, in pictures, and in other people—as something to be admired—but I have never considered beauty as a thing to be cultivated. However, for a moment, let mo consider it now!

For what it is worth, my opinion is, I suppose, that, beauty in men and women is somothing which springs from harmony of body and mind, just as beauty in a poem springs from harmony of sense and sound. " A sano mind in a healthy body," is onlv tho foundation of it.

So that my first hint to beauty is: Lead a healthy life—as far as possible in the sun and the air. '

Eat sjniplo things, yet don't dwell too much on what yon cat. Take exercise, not so much for the sako of tho exercise or for the sake of shining in games, but for tho fun of the thing. Your aim, you see, is to make tho body so good a servant of tho mind that you will not need to think of the body at all. Let your mind be set, not on your beauty at all, but on tho doing of beautiful things. Then whatever fino idea you havo to express will bo setm as personal beautv.

All tho better if you yourself are only now and then aware of it.
