 But all this will not make the skin fine, you say. Truly no; bus wait little. Every night the lady abose men, tioned must put on a mask of some white stuff that has been soaked in water and 1t must remain on night aker night tor al least six weeks, then the skin wsll be 6ne and white. You see, the ws4 cloth or mask excludes the air, and the outer layers of the cuticle come oif by | degrees. The face should be washed during this period with rain water, or water that has been bciled and allowed to cool, and must be dried with a soft cloth.
 "Never rub the face with a coarse towel, and do not rub up and down at all. because such a pfocess roughens the skin and bringt out red blosches upon it; when bathing. however, always rub the body vigorously. Nov, tt is often the case that pimples and hlotches come out on the face and nowhere else on the body. This is because the face is washed more frequently and the pores are opened for the impurities of the body to escape.r v
 Have you any good cosmetics for sunburn and freckies! You know this is the season for them, and the belles will want to remove them before the opening of the winter seasoo," asked the /osysai reporter, as he sat, pencil in hand, trying to aid all the beautiful readers of tho Journal.

 "Cold cream-genuine cream, l mean is ono of the bcs, remedies for sunburn, and is also excellent for a heated skin. It should be put on before retiring and not disturbed until morning. Then for freckles, which are not so pretty or SC easy to remove, a cosmetic of one cueum- Der cut in thin slices and soaked for . iew hours in sweet milk Is excellent. It should be applied the same as the cream until the freckles disappear. Vinegar and milk, lemon juice and cream are all excellent for removing freckies and for whitening the complexion.
 Over-heating and chiiiiness are both detrimental to the beauty of the skin, ? con,inued the little lady. Also great excitement or overwork of any kind. Soap should not be used on the face at all, and rain water is much better than that from Croton lake
 and powder, which are the best kinds for this season? 2" quesied the reporter.
 "Well," replied the little lady as she smoothed her pretty white cheek with a milk-white hand, "such cosmeaies will ruin the skin, and it requires an artis, 10 put them on, especially in the daytime, % they will not be detected. There is no objection to one's using the baby powder, especially after bath. It takes the unpleasant gloss from the tAee and is also cooling. But the skin should be thoroughly dry before it is applied, and then it should be put on with little piece Of chamois skin.

The neck and ears should be powdered and the latter slightly tinted with the carmine. The eyebrow and hair about the forehead should be vel brushed % as to prevent any of the powder showing. For evening . white powder may be used asd Httls deepes tint on the cheeks. Ladies who are stout and easily heated should take care, how eves," said the little lady in conclusion, that they do not ovesheas themselves, or the rouge may come of in big tearA" !
