The, Advantages of Advertising?How to Faff a Lovely Woman?A Picture of London Society. Beauties arc sometimes out of fashion. We do not deny that beautiful women arc always more or less admired, but beauty mania, like other mauias, is an occasional epidemic and not a chronic disease. Even when beauties arc iu fashion, only ono variety commands the market at a time.? Iherc arc men living who arc olu cuough to remember the time when the political beauty was domiuant. The woman of this description was on rather a large scale? mature aud Btrong minded. She flirted with statesmen aud diplomatists, and her boudoir was supposed to be a hotbed of political intriguo. If she had been as power ful as she pretended, no mouarch couid have called his kingdom his own, but although the world took her too much at her owu valuation, she was iu reality little better than a lion hunter aud busybody.? The queens of another period were the youug, the innocent, and tlio fair. Many ol their portraits arc still extant, in which tlicy appear in long limp white garments, with waists just below their arm pits.? They weald ha *c been voted slow in our time, but in their own day they were considered models of purity and grace. They had little to say for themselves, but poetry was written to them by tho ream. Their loveliness was of the wishywashy style, and they were pure because they knew no better. They would be thought bores and blue stockings in these days, and they were probably very flighty in their own. "Emancipated woman" have fortunately not been hitherto beautiful, aud fashionable beauties have not yet been champions of women's rights. Religious boautics have, throughout historv had occasional reigns, but. unon the whole, beautiful demons havo had their turn more frequently. For good or for evil, beauties arc now in fashion. Indeed, so fashionabl j arc they that to be a beauty is one of the recognized professions. Amateur beauties arc despised and neglected and have no more chance of success than a medical mau with no diploma. The faces of the leading statesmen, barristers and physicians, are not so familiar as those of the leading beauties. Marriage secuis to be a necessary preliminary to recognition as a beauty iu these days. "When the pretty woman has been married, she has, as it were, passed the first examination? the "smalls" of beauty. A woman hardly attains to her full beauty until she is twenty-two, and if she is not married by that time the world thinks that she ought to be. Having passed her "little go," the candidate has to enter into a competitive examination, the examiners for which are fashionable men of the faster sort, but only a small number arc allowed to pass into the ranks of professional beauties. In all professions and iradcs the way to iret on, according to modern uotioos, is to advertise, and beauties are not slow in availing themselves of this method of attainiug fame. We consequently fiud t urn advertised, like lost terriers and missionary meetings, in shop windows. Feauties contrive to combine the two important modem agen_ p _ .1 4: 4 i _ i ^ * cics oi auveruscineuc anu pnoiograpny in their thirst for aduiiration, and we sec their names and their photographs 111 so many windows that, were it not impossible to be tired of them, we might grow slightly weary of the perpetual repetition. The simple might expect to find the carte do visile of the husbands by the side of their wives.? Not a hit of it. If wc look at a photograph of one of the beauties in a London shop window we shall probably find the representation of Cardinal Manning on one side of it, and that of an eminent murderer on the other. All three are notables in their way, but with this difference, that neither the cardinal nor the murderer has any wish to be advertised, whereas it is tho heart's desire of the beauty. The persistency of the latter in this pursuit is amazing. She even rivals the patent medicine monger, who takes a column of a daily paper to explain that his wonderful syrup is good for iicndachc, heartburn, chronic rheumatism, and pulmonary complaints. She is not to bo beaten by the quack, and occupies a large space in every shop window of a certain type, portrayed in as many aspects as the unfailing physic. She seems to say, "Look at me in this position, and if you do not then admire me, look at me in that.? Don't I look bewitching under an umbrella, and cannot 1 melt your stony heart by standing with my head on one side and my thumb in my mouth '( Look at me, buy me, talk about me and oh, write about me ! Speak of me as the beautiful Mrs. A. and say 1 am lovelier than Mrs. 15." And thus the beauty hopes to gain even more celebrity than the anti-bilious pills in the chemist's window next door. She would depiso the comparatively obscure fame to be obtained by the exhibition of her photograph in the drawing rooms of good society. There are other worlds for her to conquer. Are there not the shop boys and the city clerks?yes, and even the errand boys '{? Is life worth having unless every snob will turn to look at her in the parks and the streets ? Wherever we go in our great me tropolis we seem unable to cscapo the well ! known faces of the beauties, anil in tlio public picture galleries we find them in the characters of nymphs, vestals or sylphs.? We suppose wo shall see them before loug "dono" ut full length iuuiarblc, as Yeuuscs. Tho conversation in good society is occasionally rather commonplace, and the weather or the parties of yesterday and to-day forui the principal topics of polite small talk. A fresh subject of iutcrcst, therefore, in a world where there is apparently so lit no Mini is interesting must necessarily bo it boon. Formerly, such observations as "What, a crowd thcro was at Lady A's last night!" uud "I am afraid it is going to rain," brought the average fashionnblc man pretty nearly to the end of his conversational tether; but now the remark that "Mrs. 1L i? looking very well this morning" increases his resources f>0 per cent. Tbo approach in the park of one of the beauties attracts an atteution which used to bo accorded to royalty only, and the privilege of being unblusliingly stared nt is no longer confined to the blood royal. Professional beauties havo a class of journal specially devoted to their glorification. Here their sayings and do ings arc taitntully chronicled. Occasionally a long article is demoted to a description of their charms, and they generally monopolize proiniucut paragraphs. No description of a race meeting in any newspaper is complete without the description of the dresses worn by the professional beauties, and u bazaar or fancy fair is unnoticed unless they aro present. For a timo during the lato Loudon season, the sayings and doings of the celebrated French actress who was received with so much enthusiasm by the once straitlaccd English, threatened to obscure our national beauties. Columns of the so-called "society journals" were devoted to her, in which she was briefly described as "she." Fut "she" has now lelfc our shores, and the erring devotees have returned to worship at the shrines of the beauties. The appcarauce of the goddesses is again chrouiclcd with the same accuracy as the price of consols or tho rainfall, and their proceedings and whereabouts are more n J ? - ' luuuiuiij rucuuiueu man inoseor tue reigning sovcreigu herself. Writers in the fashionable journals sceui to attach more importance to the blowing of the nose of a professional beauty thau to a general engagement at the Cape. Old-fashioned people marvel much at tho homage paid to tho professional beauties in society. If ouo of them stays at tho house of a lion hunting old peer she is tukeu iu to diuncr by her host, in precedence of ladies of far superior rank, iler wishes arc law as to the arrangements and amusements of the whole party, and everything is made subservient to her whims.. She generally has a little court of Udics. and gentlemen in waiting, and if you in-* vitc her to your house you must ask some of these to meet her or she will be bored and sulky. When you have succeeded iu persuading a beauty to atay with yeu, you must of course be prepared to take the couscqucuocs. Iler will must be yours. You will be lucky if her favorite amusement is simply to pose herself iu graceful attitudes and look beautiful. If less interesting, tho statuesque beauty is far prcferablo, Us a guest, to the lively beauty. The latter, when in a playful humor, is apt to becomo overpowering. She exhibits lmr # ; - ?* # heartcduess by cramming pieces of ice iusido gentlemen's slnrt cellars, nud by throwing a glassful of champagne at an admirer on the opposite sido of the table. She hurls peaches, which have cost ycu a shilling apiece, at the heads of her friends, scrambles with her neighbor at the tabic, and breaks one of your best dessert plates. Hut you must not mind; this is merely the little fee of the great professional. She proposes a ride, and astonishes the inhabitants of your well couductcd and quiet village by riding 0110 of your horses through it at full gallop, accompained by her court, whom she compels to ride at the same pace. Sho volunteers to drive your phastou or four in baud, and will think it a good joke to drive into somebody or something, and if she smashes your carriage it is all dono in fun, and she expresses herself as so thankful that ''nobody was hurt." When you arc sitting with your men friends after dinner, you will probably eongratuluto yourself upon your temporary respite from the pleasantries of your pretty truest, hut ner. haps you would scarcely i'cel so satisGod if you were aware that she was at that moment engaged in paving private visits to. I the rooms of each of your male visitors, t making an apple pie bed for one, pomading the sponge of another, sewing up the night shirt of a third, peppering the pillows of a fourth, and so on. It will probably end in your having to apologize lor her conduct to at least one of your guests in the morning, and wlicu the party is dispersed you will most likely register a vow that whatever lions or lionesses you may pursue for the future, you will never take, home .'mother professional beauty.
