Show "Ride on a Trolley Car if You Want Beauty," Says Amelia Bingham. - j 'Chi- at Tribune.) Ahielir. Bingham gets: up in the morning morn-ing and take!- p. trolley ride. Thir. is i he way she keeps her good looks. "Give me your beauly rules." said a j caller to Miss Ringliam. "How do you keep your spirits, you: complexion, your j figure, and your style?" Mis.; Bingham wa:: makin-y up in i'roni oJ he;- mirror. I "I keep my complexion and my looks generally,' said she with a. hurried smile, "by thai simplest of all things keeping busy. ; "The domestic woman ought to be a great deal better looking than the actress;, act-ress;, because she can devote more time to herseh'. She can rest when shu wants to rest; she can stay in the hous in bad weather; she can hunio;- herself and save herself, treat hereeK well, and keep her spirits calm. "With the actress; it ir diffornu. She must go out in all kinds of weather: she must keep bad. hours: she muat lose sleep, and she must eat when her work will allow her to eat. Theoretically Theoret-ically she ought to be a poor looking specimen. Actually she is just the re- I verse. "If I were to lay down a set: of beauty laws; tor any woman I would be-Sin be-Sin by telling her to keep up and moving. mov-ing. Women soon rust out. I would tell her to set. out and be active. I would admonish her to rise early in the morning', do her own shopping, keep her own. house, look after her own servants. ser-vants. And then have as good a time i a:s possible. "Open air is r. splendid, cosmetic for any woman. There never lived v. woman wo-man who was not the better for good ozone. 1 love to get out and. drive. And there i lift reason why any woman alive canno; do th; same. ' "X have my horses, and when I drive I can sit in a handsome 'carriage and take my ease. Buf I much prefer trolley trol-ley ridinf. It is my great pleasure to get up early in the morning and get out on top of a bur and take i ride. You can travel a long way for 5 cents, and when, you come home you feel better and brighter. "That, is one of my chief delights when I visit London. It j.-? delightful, and j'ou get th air a?: perfectly ac if you were driving four in hand. I love to ride on a trolley car. Whizzing through the city is a great pleasure and. with a clear track ahead of you and jv good, capable gripman by your side, you are indeed complete. "Get out early in the morning. Take " c-entsj and give it to -the conductoi. TaJte your place op. the front seat of the trolley, let the gripman be your chauffeur, and whiz away. It is: rare sport and one which bringsi you home with rosy cheeks. -That isi why I keep my health. ., . "About the complexion? Here t would wa:; eloquent. Pleasn remember that, water it; the best cosmetic, and that n6 complexion can possibly b; nice unless i; isj clean and clear. "I get up in the morning and take a cole! shower. This i ; sometimes ?. stren-uour, stren-uour, thing to do, but it is the best way to wake up. Then I have a breakfast oi fruit: and eggs and a cup of coffee. All the rest of the day I drink good cold water. By s just when the domestic .woman ip opt doing her shopping, X am at: rehearsal, and by noon J am tired out. Then comes a lunch oi fruit or a tiny sandwich, it is almost a standup lunch, and never do I have the pleasure of eating an elaborate one. "Then comes the matinee, which is good, vigorous exercise: then a dinner at 6 o'clock, and then the play in the evening. After the play there is a tiny little supper.' And then an hour of study or rehearsal. And then bed. which is reached about 2 in the morning. morn-ing. t' Women ought to cat simple food. For dinner, a good soup-, s. roat, and some nice vegetables ought to suffice. Study I your own. system well. As for the skin, j it should be treated with the articles j that, agree w-ith it. In my hot bnth i at night, which is a h :t scrub for cleans lincss, I sometimes put a little sea salt, j As it lias a strong salty odor. I make ij. sweet with a little violet extract. "An actress is compelled to use a great deal of cold creum. But she can get a pure emim or she can make the cream herself. This she ukcs when she i.s making up for the stage. The homo i woman can use a little, cold cream I when going out into the brisk air. She can iuo :"' on her face thinly, and after I it has had timo to sink in she can dust a little good complexion powder o or it. j The kind of powdrr'deponis upon the skin. And we all have our favorites.. "At n'sht I wash my. face in good hoi soap and water. And after I have made my skin clean atid nib it al! over with a preparation of my own. It cop-ist;j cop-ist;j wholly of glycerin ;md rose water. I take an ounce of glyer'n and add an ounce of rosewa'.er to it. Thi., when it has been allowed to stand a few days, is fine for the kin. . "The wonvin who wants to have a good figure must look .ifter it. She must'Jiave her corsets made to order. If she cannot do this she. must get "a corset thsit suits her shspe. Then she must -have h r own govn. her shoes, sjnl her hats all planned fo;- her. "When 1 lind myself too thin, as- 1 now am. I diet a little that is. 1 allow myself a 'ittle indulgence in the-' way of ice cream, and T eat a little more perhaps. 1 try to put on fat. If 1 were to be. too heavy I should tun up -and down stairs and take off a little in that way. '.-'"Sleep '.-'"Sleep makes a woman fat. I j-ekiom slep more than six hours a night. .... T get to bed at 2 in the morning audi I sleep uniil nearly S. I find that .1 am better;, that I look better, and that I get more done if I cut down the hours of slecn. Some peoole need move sleep than others. The tru'h i:; that luxury loving women ttake sleep whether they need it or not. They perm't themselves to have it. , . "There is a word -of advice to the domestic woman and to the public' woman. wo-man. .It is this: don't worry: Worry brings lines, it calls old age. it..- destroys de-stroys erne's expression, and it makes one sorry and sad. Don't worry if you want to be beautiful. There never lived a successful woman who ha. not" .done her share of worrying. But. she can learn to worry less. -.

Though I am too busy to go down below be-low stairs and cook! If things go wrong in, the sewins room I let them go. I am too busy to go upstairs and sew. If the servants go on strike I let them go. I do the best I can. and I don't worrv. "Dress is the great problem "which few ever solve. 1 believe in simplicity. Upon the. stage 1 ha ve to dress elaborately, elabo-rately, but in the street I enjoy putting on simple garments. "I am wearing. in the street a little Eton suit. It is made of cloth m a shade of Alice blue. I wear an Alice blue hat with it, a turned up felt hat. Some days when I go out to walk I wear a cloth dress, in an orchid tone, and. with th s I wear an orchid colored hat. All my gown; are simple. They fit well and they suit me. "I mention my dress especially because be-cause i believe that women should dress al! in one tone. T have two dress rules, or maybe I ought to say three. Mv ih-st is to dress simply, my second is 'not to mix colors, an'd my third is to mage my hat match my dress." Ma's Physical Culture. Sis takes calisthenics. Injun clubs an' auch.

Mary Sarsfield Gilmore, a, staff correspondent corre-spondent of the New York Freeman's Journal, writes to that paper along the following lines: Catholic womanhood and ideal womanhood wo-manhood by right are synonymous; and the Catholic woman or girl who fails to represent the highest type of her sex, not only incurs grave moral responsibility, but misses the golden opportunity of her life. That she is not an unknown socisil quantity is due less to her deliberate fault than to her culpable thoughtlessness. She realizes only in part the obligations of her nobility. no-bility. She underestimates her supreme su-preme possibilities. All the world agrees that purity and religion are the sole and indispensable! hasis of ideal womanhood, and tha't, as j the representative of both essential j graces, the Catholic woman ..stands! above reproach. ! But the law- fulfilled in the letter by sheer force of Divine '-instinct may be filled in the spirit of social concessions instigated by human respect. It is -well to realize that where Catholic concession conces-sion is necessary, there is something rotten in the social state. Moral perception per-ception i.s not too apt to be supersensitive, supersen-sitive, and the Catholic woman must fear laxity rather than scrupulousness, lest she be responsible for disedilication or scandal. . : .
