it in future"
81 would advise your lady readers to take
their baths daily if they desire, only have them
at night just before retiring. as they will thus
escape many severe colds. Take warm, but not
hot water, which is too enfeeblng. Let cold
water alone. save for the morning toilet: then
use plenty of it, bathing the chest, in order to
guard against an attack of cough or catarrh
When she gets up some morning feeling As limp
as piece OF blOtting paper, tell her to sit on
the edge of the bath tub, take sponge full OF
cold water. and. applying it to the nape Of the
neck. squeeze it till the water has all cOursed
down the spinal column. Repeat the operation.
The attempt will require some indomitable
pinck. but will waken her up for all day.
Now for the face First use good, clean
soap, and don't be afraid to put plenty of it on
the face, only rinse it off with couple of ablu-
tons OF clean water.7 About the temperature
some are habituated to cold, with equally good
results. In washing always press the hands
over the eyes. rubbing them toward the nose.

moved some of the heads will be expelled. In
the morning saturate a piece of soft cotton
cloth with acetic acid; wet the parts treated
the night previous and remain in bed until the
acid is thoroughly dried. Wash it off in the
toilet with soap and water, and repeat the
operation until all the animalcul& disappear"
There is great charm in q clean, we'll
Kept face which IS positively refreshing.
Aside from her pretty manners and teeth, the
clean, healthy appearance of Mrs. Langtry' 8
face is half her beauty. Freckles must be en-
dured, but it is stated on authority that a real
good case of sunburning. or couple Of coats of
tan will remove them for keeps. II the skin has

doctor who makes speciality Of the internal Or
gans will not only have beneficial effect on
the blood, but will tone up the system and
brighten the complexion. If the eyebrows
meet, and thus annoy the lady, do not try to
correct the luXuriance by pulling out the hair,
as that will make the bridge of the nose sore.
1t is not Disagreement, but. if deemed So,
have doctor pluck the hairs out. The same
remedy is suggested for removing those I'M
slightly little tufts of hair that so many ladies
permit to grow on moles. Where the discolora-
ton is of strong fiber the hairs may be pulled
out as they grow, but il the blemsh is large
and OF delicate structure, serious damage may
result by tampering with it. In either case,
however, these brow mOles can be removed
with little pain and slight inconvenience.
