Yes" said q fashionable LADY to
Journal reporter the other day. '.wo-
men often ruin their compilations BY
the use Of the wrong cosmetics. e.
pecially during warm weather. Nov.
II you know anything about the skin
and the actions Of the various prepara-
tons upon Il you can see how easily
this may Be done Why. I know wo-
men who would Otherwise be hand
some Il they knew how to do I'D their
cOmplexions. OF II they had patience
and perseverance, enoughto 20 let natural
aids help them.
What do mean By natural AidsP
Well. viii tell you, Even the coars-

patience, and i requires n g6o1 dol
First Of course. the blood should he
purified By a couple Of doses Of char
coal, mngnesia or sulphur, and Il Is
best 10 get the help of a physician on
this point Thea the diet must be
I plain and the meals eaten regularly,
and az 10 o'clock the patient must be
In bed. for beauty's hours for sleep are
before midnight
"But all this viii not make the skin
fine. you say. Truly 10; but wait
little. Every night the lady above
mentioned must put on a mask Of some
white stuff that has been soaked in
water and Il must remain on night
after night for at least six weeks then
the SKIN will be fine and white. You
see. the wet cloth or mask excludes
the air. and the outer layers Of the cuti-
cle come OF by degrees Tho face
should DO washed during this period
with rain water. or water that has been
boiled and allowed 10 cool. and must
be dried with a soft cloth.
"Neyer rub the face with a coarse
towel. and do not rub up and down at
/ all, because such a process roughens
/ the skin and brings out red blotches
upon Il; when bathing. however. al
ways rub the body vigorously. Now.
Il is often tho case that pimples and
blotches come out on the face and
nowhere else on the body. This is be-
cause the face Is washed more fire.
quently aud the pores are opened for
the impurities Of the body TO escape"
Have you any good cosmetics for
sunburn and frwkles? You know this
Is the season for them, and the bellies
/ will want to remove them before the
/ opening Of the winter season." asked
the Journal reporter. as he sat, pencil
| In hand, trying to aid all the beautiful
readers Of the Journal
"Oh, yes" said the lady, nothing
Is easier 10 remove than tan. II that is
all the trouble, a girl should be happy;
/ besides. IL is the fashion to be much
tanned this summer, you know, and it
/ wears oil OF itself after awhile.
"COld cream genuine cream,
mean Is one Of the best remedies for
sunburn. and IS also excellent for a
heated skin. 1t should DO put on be-
| fore retiring and not disturbed until
morning. Then for freckles, which
are not so pretty or so easy to remove,
a cosmetic OF ono cucumber cut in
| slices and soaked for few hours in
sweet milk is excellent. 1t should be
applied the same rs the cream until
the frecklos disappear Vinegar and
milk, lemon juice and cream are all
excellent for removing freckles and for
whitening the complexion.
| "Over-heating and chilliuess are
both detrimental TO the beauty of the
skim" continued 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 bet
ter than that from Croton lake. "
But suppose ladies want to use
paint and powder, which are the best
kinds for this season." queried the re-
porter.
"Woll, replied the little lady as she
smoothcd her pretty white cheek with
a milk white hand, "such cosmetics
will ruin the skin, and it requires an
artist to put them on, especially in the
day time, so they will not be detected.
There is no objection to ones using the
baby-powdcr. especially after n bSth.
IL takes the unpleasant gloss from the
face aud is also cooling. But the skin
should be thoroughly dry before it is
applied, and then it should be put on
with n little piece Of chamois skin.
"Now. If ladies will powder anC
rouge. they should do it very carefully
ut this season. A little cream powder
should be put on for the daylight, anC
tho very faintest tinge of rose on tn,
cheeks, but not in one round spot.
Is well to put more powder over tn
rouge and not both together. The
neck and ears should be powdered an,
the latter slightly tinted with the car
mine. The eyebrows and hair abou
the forehead should be well brushed 81
as to prevent any Of the powder show
ing. For evening a white powder ma
be used and little deeper tint on th
checks. Ladies who are stout an
easily heated should take care, how
ever" said the little lady in conclu
sion, "that they do not overhead them
selves, or ,ho rouge may come of
big tears."--N J. Morning Journal.
