PREFACE

The Woman Beautiful is not a radiant creature of gorgeous plumage and

artificial beauty, but a woman of wholesome health, good hard sense,

sparkling vivacity and sweet lovableness. Her beauty-creed hangs not

from rouge pots and bleaches, but suspends like a banner of truth from

the laws of wise, hygienic living. Her cheeks are tinted with the glow

that comes from good, well-circulated blood, her eyes are bright and

lovely because her mind is so, and her complexion is transparent and

soft and velvety for the reason that the true art is known to her. The

Woman Beautiful is all sincerity. She doesn't like to sail under false

colors and so insult old Dame Nature, whose kindnesses and benefits are

so well meant and freely offered.
