this tairy’s gift in a greater or less de-
gree. Providentially few know their
own power and are content to bewitch
one man alone out of allthe earth.
And what is the secret of this gift?
It is certainly not faultless beauty. for
it is a perfectly comprehensible para-
dox that as a rule the women who have
been noted for the fascination of their
beauty were not pretty women at all.
Anne Boleyn had many plastic deflects.
The Duchess of Burgundy, who lit up
in the old age of Louis XIV and the
court of Versailles and neutralized the
morose influence of Mme. de Mainte-
non, had a goitrous neck and decayed
front teeth, yet she was proclaimed a
beauty. Marguerite do Valois, with
whom most of the prominent French-
men of her day were at sometime or
another desperately in low, had heavy
cheeks, too prounnent eyes and a thick,
hanging under lip. The last Duchess
de Berri Would not have been allowad
to so much as compete at a beauty show
had she presented herself incognito. Sir
Walter Scott, who was close to harm
mass in the Tuileries cha el, wrote in
his diary that she was plain, and that '
her eyes Were not follows.
At what age is this charm most sub-
tle? Swift wrote with cruel (-undur of
Stella‘s fading charms and sent her as ‘
a birthday gift a rhymed “Receipt to
Restore Her Lost Youth" at a period
that we should consider the prime of
life. T he caustic dean of St. Pat

proves a s arp contrast to the more
modern w ter. George Lewes, who in
his “Life of Goethe" speaks of 33 as
the fascinating period in a woman’s
life, being that in which he considered
her to have reached the full develop-
ment of her powers of mind and body.
And 83 was the age at which Frau von
Stein proved dangerous to tho heart of
the poet who had survivod the more
youthful charms of a (iron-hen, u (.‘har-
