BEAUTY DEFIES OLD AGE.
YEARS OF LOVELINESS FOR WOMEN.
Mme. Lina Cavalieri, whose beauty, was the toast of Europe and the United States nearly a quarter of a century ago, and whose voice was judged to be on a par with those of most of the prominent sing. ers of her time, has explained how a woman can retain her beauty as she grows older.
"Too much sport is not good for women," Mme. Cavalieri said. "It' makes them old too soon; it gives them wrinkles."
She appeared ageless, dark-eyed, gracious, and graceful. Her cheeks were firm and rosy, and her figure divine, and yet she sang a quarter of a century ago. Lina Cavalieri bas sung opera in all the capitals of Europe; she partnered Caruso in Paris and Lucien Muratore, her third husband, in New York. She does not sing now, but to look at her is a revelation. It makes one think of Rider Haggard's "She."
Exercises, a little gymnastics, swimming, and rowing are the best. sports for women," Mme. Cavalieri continued in her soft voice." But not golf, oh, not too much golf. It is not good for the figure or the face. No violent sports are.
Rest in Dark Room,
"Women should look after them selves more, otherwise they will never remain young. They should rest awhile every day in a darken ed room with the body relaxed, as I do. What else do I do 1, Oh. do exercises every morning, then have my electrical massage, and rest for half an hour.
