Graceful Women
A taste for perfect figure ta Insepar

The scents o? the heliotrope, violet or rose are
as precious as the lovely Howers whose ftrealh
they are, and while the lives of flowers are bric/
ana we can only enjoy them for a day, the
beautiful woman grives the pleasure of her fra
grance tous asa permanent blessing'. The sweet,
pure breath of the babe is suggestive of innocence
and health-the soft fragrance of a beautiful
woman suggests to the senses purity, health ard
elegance: she ls the refinement of civilization;
she ls indicative of a desire to please, an index of
good taste, and an unerring badge of gc Vlity.
