How TO BE Beautiful.

The following extracts are from a
talk on hygiene by DR.. Henrietta E..
Day before the Louisville w. G. T.
o.:
We are utterly opposed to the de-
leterious compounds with which the
market is flooded, composed of acids,
arsenic and white lead, IN which 'the
remedy is worse than the disease. !"
We would remind you that no object
is attained without some effort, and
frequently considerable self-denial,
and will now give you a simple yet
admirable recipe for cosmetic,
with directions as to its proper ap-
plication. Take equal parts of lamb
suet and glycerine melt thoroughly
in proclaim receiver; STIR rapidly
until almost cold, and finish by add
ing few drops of altar of roses.
Now, as cleanliness is next to
godliness," we advise thorough
bath before retiring each night, and,
as the process of bathing seems mis-
understood, we would explain that it
is not necessary to be submerged in
large tank of water, but that a
basin full of this liquid, with olive
oil soap, applied with sponge or fan
mel from the crown of the head to the
sole of the feet, will answer every
purpose. Regulate the temperature
to suit your individual taste, remem-
bering always to avoid shock. The
bath should be followed by brisk but
gentle friction, and now that the
pores are open and the subject glow
ing and cleanly, let us apply to the
face and visible portion of the neck
modicum of this salve, the same to
be Systematically and thoroughly
rubbed in, bearing in mind that in
every case the friction must suit the
skin. In some subjects this is at
tanned by gently rubbing up or down
with the palm of the hand, while
again the surface absorbs more read
lily from circling movement, the
object being always not to grease,
but simply to molify and soften the
cuticle. We give you these direc-
tlons for the face, but will add that
the entire surface of the body treated
in the same manner would respond
most genially and healthfully. 1t is
| we'll known that Injunction was the
regular accompaniment of the batl
with the ancients, and it would be
we'll were it revived with US, since il
adds suppleness to the body, removes
superfiuous skin scales, rendering
the cuticle soft and pliable as in
early youth, in place of the harsh
ness and dryness so frequently com
planned of in advancing years.
Next in order we would advise
careful handling Of the hair, which
should be combed out with patience
and gentleness, in place of tearing il
out hastily and violently by the roots,
resulting in breakage, injury and
unevenness of fiber. 1t should be
briskly and persistently brushed
every night before retiring, then
loosely braided and coiled softly un-
der silk nightcap. The very best
preparations to insure luxurlant
growth of glossy hair is to be OBJ
tanned by going into he woods where
the wild grape vines grow luxuriant
ly, and, at the season of the year
when the sap commences to flow, tar
the canes with a penknife and collec
the profuse discharge in bottles
After bathing the hair in a mixture
of ammonia and warm water. thi
natural invigorant is to be thorough
