CULT OF BEAUTY.

Nature Will Cure Almost Anything. RULES FOR HEALTH. (By A BEAUTY SPECIALIST.) Do not get angry, anger spoils the disposition, impairs digestion and poisons the whole system, besides the harm it does to others. Do not keep late hours, an hour’s sleep before midnight is worth two after. Get up early, there is an exhilaration in the early morning air that is a better tonic than all the medicines in the world. Be punctual. When the affair is announced at nine, get there at nine. Exercise in the morning air. Walk wherever you are going, or, if it is too far, walk half of the way. Bathe your body in cdld water every morning. If you cannot stand the bath tub or a shower, try a sponge bath. Always take a little exercise with dumb-bells or other device in the early morning, making sure to give every muscle something to do. That which not used will rust or rot.

Nature will cure almost anything. All she asks of you is right living. Medicine is for wrong living. Use stimulants sparingly if at all. Coffee, tea, tobacco, wine, beer and

whisky are all nerve destroyers. You. system may stand one or two, but it will soon rebel if you use more tliai one or two. Remember that health, is the greatest thing in the world and that without it all else is worthless. Therefore, if you have it not, study how to get ft, if you have it, study how to keep it. Women and the Dangerous Age. What is the dangerous age for women? I think we may say that all ages are dangerous to all people in this dangerous life we live. A girl in her teens, before whom time flees like a bird she can never catch, seems frankly naive, but slie often tramples on affection, breaks the bonds of old4oves, and walks off with all honours. Again, the thirties are a specially dangerous time for women. They have outlived the shyness and restraints of girlhood, and not attained to the caution and discretion of middle age. They are . reckless, and consciously or unconsciously ou the look out for adventure. They see ahead of them the end of youth and that quickens their pace. But still again, between these two ages, there are the thoughtful twenties; here is the pinnacle of girlhood, the age of confidence, of distant vistas, of serious idealism so intriguing to the disillusion. The dangerous age, what age is it?
