BY NIXOLA GREELEY-SMITH. At last we have found the feal aolution of the dress- paint-and-powder problem, Blistering as it may be to our vanity and searing to our feminine souls, let us hearken to the words of a disciple of Schopenhauer who declares that woman has no natural beauty at all and {is compelled therefore to resort to artifice to ensnare the affections of the resplendent male. Let us hearken to the words of this brave misogymist of Mianus, Conn., who writes as follows: Dear Madam: I have been much amused by the reasons given by your correspondents, both male and female, to explain er even justify the insane attempt of girle and women to improve upon nature by artificial mcans (invariably injurtous in some direction) tn attracting the opposite sex. Jt fs an acknowledged fact that suggestiveness is the alm of much of such tificlal adornment and therefore 1* {immoral in {ta essence, and {immorality fa never beautiful.

It ts Gilver, intangible, ye' as the he What the Mianus cynic éencribes the supposed beauties of woman—her }long hair, bright cheeks and opulent ourves—are her real beauties, for they are outward and visible signs of her function and excuse for being.
