Ir IS pleasant to be Known &b a beautiful girl, but it Is neces sary to be a dainty girl. The ilrst state la within reach of a re. The last can be attained by all. To be dainty means to be ex quisitely clean. It means being well groomed In every particular. It means, in a sense ,to be smart, for no one ever described a dowdy woman is a dainty one, though she might be clean and tresh and of. that perfect bodily toilet which Is comprised in the term well groomed. Dal sty Is a small word covering a large area of meaning. The dainty girl is scrupuously careful as to her bath. She takes one every day, if it be only one of the dry baths that are so stimulat ing. She can, for Instance, If she cannot afford one of the friction bands made of rough cloth, use what remains of an old Turkish towel, hem a long strlo of It and draw It scrota the shoulders and back, across the stomach and abdomen and limbs until the f c tlon has brought about a fine glow. Or she, If shs Is one of the few who believe that her constitution cannot endure a daily bath, and I think there are few If any euch, provides a good substitute In a small bowlful of damp salt, rubbed briskly by handfuls ever the body, and thla followed by a brisk rub with a damp towel succeeded by a dry one. Gr, If she be a nervous girl, she mskes her bath cleansing aa well as tonic in the following way:, Hot water, 8 quarts. Rosemary tops, 800 grams. Bicarbonate of soda, 200 grams.

The dainty girl's hair always shows care. it may not be plastered smoothly about her brow with the aid of brllliantlne, but at least it looks healthy and clean, as though each bair had I We and strength of Its own. It looks well brushed snd as though the scalp were frequently massaged. It Is free from that odious detractor from a wholesome appearance, dandruff. The scalp is so well masssced and the hair so well brushed that the dandruff has .OS little chance for a start.
