PROFESSIONAL BEAUTIES. | Beauties Sometimes Out of Fashion? The j Advantages of Advertising?How to Puff ( a Lovely Woman?A Picture of London 1 Society. ? f Beauties arc sometimes out of fashion. We do not deny that beautiful women arc ? always more or less admired, but beauty < mania, like other inauius, is an occasional I epidemic and not a chronic disease. Even I when beauties are in fashion, only ono va- i riety commands the market at a time.? t There arc uien living who arc old cuough I to rctuembor the time when the political ' beauty was dominant. The womau of this t description was on rather a largo scale? I mature and strong minded. She flirted i with statesmen and diplomatists, and her c boudoir was iiippnscd to be a hotbed of po- 1 litical intrigue. If she had been as power I ful as she pretended, no mouurch eouid have called his kingdom his own, but although the world took her too much at her own valuation, she was in reality little better than a liou hunter and busybody.? The queens of another period were the young, the innocent, and the fair. Many of their portraits arc still extant, in which they appear in long limp white garments, with waists just below their arm pits.? They would ha *c been vottid 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 stockiugs in these days, aud they were probably very flighty in their own. "Emancipated woman" havo fortunately not bceu hitherto beautiful, and fashionable beauties havo not yet been champions of women's rights. Religious beauties have, throughout history had occasional reigns, but, upon the whole, beautiful demons havo had their turn more frequently. For good or for evil, beauties aro now in fashion. Indeed, so fashionablj 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 man with no diploma. The faces of the leading statesmen, barristers and physicians, arc not so familiar as those of the leading beauties. Marriage seems to bo a necessary preliminary to recognition as a beauty in these days. When the pretty woman has been married, she has. ns it were, passed the first examination? I the "stnalls" of beauty. A woman hardly c attains to her full beauty until she is tweu- t ty-two, and if she is uot married by that ? time the world thinks that she ought to be. > Having passed her "little go," the caudi- t ilate has to enter into a competitive cxaui- > ination, the cxamiuers for which arc fash- a iouablc men of the faster sort, but ouly a small number are allowed to pass iuto the t ranks of professional beauties. u In all professions and trades the way to ( got on, according to modern notions, is to t advertise, aud beauties are not slow in avail- s ing themselves of this method of attaiuiug > fuuie. We consequently fiud t'low adver- ? tised, like lost terriers and missionary meet- t ings, in shop windows. Beauties contrive ? to combino the two important modern agon- f cics of advertisement and photography in i their thirst for admiration, aud we see their ( names and their photographs in so many I windows that, were it not impossible to be i tired of them, we might grow slightly wen- i ry of the perpetual repetition. The simple < might expect to fin-i tho carte do visile of 1 the husbands by the side of their wives.? I Not a bit of it. If wc look at a photograph ? of one of tho beauties in a London shop i wiudow we shall probably find tho rcprc- J sontation of Cardinal Mauuing on one side I of it, and that of an eminent murderer on | the other. All threo are notables in their I way, but with this difference, that neither 1 the cardinal nor tho murderer has any wish i to be advertised, whereas it is tho heart's desire of tho beauty. The persistency of I tho latter iu this pursuit is amazing. She even rivals the patont mediciuo monger, who takes a column of u daily paper to explain that his wonderful syrup is good for headache, heartburn, chronic rheumatism, and pulinouary complaints. She is not to be beaten by tho quack, and occupies a largo space in every shop window of a certain type, portrayed iu as many aspects as tho unfailing physic. She seems to say, "Look at mo in this position, and if you do not then admire me, look at me in that.? Don't I look bewitching uuder an umbrella, and oannot I melt your stony heart by standing with my head on one side and my thumb in my mouth't Look at me, buy me, talk about mo uud oh, writo about me ! Speak of me as tho beautiful Mrs. A. and say I am lovelier than Mrs. B." And thus the beauty hopes to gain even inoro celebrity than tho anti-bilious pills iu the cnemtsis wioaow next door. She would depiso the comparatively obscure fame to bo obtained by the exhibition of her photograph iu tho drawing rooms of good society. Thore arc othor worlds for her to oonquer. Are there not the shop boys and tho city clerks?yes, and even the errand boys ?? Is life worth having unless bvory snob will . turn to look at her iu tho parks and the st roots? Wherever wo go in our great me tropolis wc seem unable to cscnpo the well w B? *K us of the gag. NUMBER 42. (nnwn faces of the beauties, and in the public picture galleries we fiud thcui iu the haracters of nymphs, vestals or sylphs.? iVc suppose wo shall sec thcui before long ;dono" ut full length iuuiarblc, as Veuu103. The conversation in good society is occalioually rather commonplace, and the weathsr or the parties of yesterday and to-day ibrui the priucipal topics of polite small .alk. A fresh subject of interest, therefore, n a world where there is apparently so lit,1c that is interesting must necessarily be a )oou. Formerly, such observations as 'What a crowd thcro was at Lady A's last light!" and "I am afraid it is going to rain," irought the average fashionable mnn nrnti? icarly to the end of his conversational tctliir; but now the remark that "Mrs. B. is ooking very well this morning" increases lis resources TiO per cent. The approach n the park of one of the beauties attracts iU attcution which used to be accorded to oyalty ouly, and the privilege of being undushingly stared at is no longer confined to he blood royal. Professional beauties havo i class of journal specially devoted to their ;lorification. Here their sayings and dongs are faithfully chronicled. Occasioivdly a long article is devoted to a dcscripion of their charms, and they generally nonopolizo prominent paragraphs. No dcicription of a race meeting in auy newsparer is complete without the description of he dresses worn by the professional beauties, and a bazaar or fancy fair is unnoticed mless they are present. For a timo during the late London season, the sayings and ioings of the celebrated French actress who was received with so much enthusiasm by the once straitlaccd English, threatened to obscure our natioual beauties. Columns of ihc so-called "society journals" were devoted to her, in which she was briefly described as "she." But "she" has now left our shores, and the erring devotees have returned to worship at the shriues of the beauties. The appearance of the goddesses s again chronicled with the same accuracy is the price of consols or the rainfall, aud ,hcir proceedings and wheroabouts are moro aithfully recounted than those of the reignug sovereign herself. Writers in the l'ushouable journals seem to attach more imporancc to the blowing of the nose of a procssional beauty than to a general cngagenont at the Cape. Old-fashioned people marvel much at tho lounage paid to tho professional beauties u society. If ouo of them stays at tho louse of a lion huntiug old peer she is tak:u iu to dinner by her host, in precedence if ladies of far superior rank. Her wishes iro law as to the arrangements and auiuscnents of the whole party, and everyhing is mado subservient to her whims., She generally has a little court of Indies, md gentlemen in waiting, and if you in-* rite her to your hoijsc you must ask some if these to meet her or she will be bored md sulky. When you have succeeded iu persuading a beauty to stay with ycu, you nust of course be prepared to take the conequcuocs. Her will must be yours. You vill be lucky if her favorite amusement is iimply to pose herself iu graceful attitudes md look beautiful. If less interesting, tho itatucsque beauty is far prcferablo, Us a ;ucst, to the lively beauty. The latter, when in a playful humor, is nnfc ?n - ^ ' .. . "r' *w )verpoweriog. Sho exhibits her lightlearteduoss by cramming pieces of ico iniido gcutleuien's shirt collars, and by throwng a glassful of champagne at an admirer >n the opposite sido of the table. She iurls peaches, which have cost ycu a shiling apiece, at the heads of her friends, icrauiblcs with her neighbor at the table, ind breaks one of your best dessert plates, liut 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 conducted and quiet village by riding ouo of your horses through it at lull gallop, accouipained by her court, whom she compels to ride at the same pace. Sho volunteers to drivo your phaeton or four in hand, and will think it a good joke to drive iuto somebody or something, and if she smashes your carriage it is all dono in fun, and sho expresses herself as so. thankful that "nobody was hurt." When you arc sitting with your men friends after dinner, you will probably congratulate yourself upon your temporary respite from the pleasantries of your pretty guest, but perhaps you would scarcely feel so satisfied if you were aware that she was at that mouient engaged in paving private visits totbo rooms of each of your male visitors, making an apple pic bed for one, pomading tho sponge of another, sewing up the night shirt of a third, pjppcriug the pillows of a fourth, and so on. It will probably end in your having to apologize tor her conduct to nt least one of your guests in tho morning, and when tho party is dispersed you will most likely register a vow that whatever lions or lionesses you may pursue for the future, you will uever take, home another professional benutv.
