The sylphs are charge with looking after the beautiful. This is an important and pleasant task. They have to ensure that the beautiful do not have their face powder blown off by the rough winds. The sylphs must keep the perfume of the beautiful from fading. They must curl their waving hair. They are also charged with giving them redder complexions and more pleasant perfume. In addition, sylphs are to give the beautiful inspirations in their dreams for altering and improving their dresses.
