SUGGESTIONS FOR BEAUTTFYING
THE COMPLEXION.
The Nuisance OF Being Pretty
Managing MISUNDERSTANDING for
Wifehood-Domes Hints.

To obtain beautiful skin one must be-
gin and diet properly Butter, Fat meat |
and greasy food of every kind must not be |
eaten. Coffee and tea must be given up, so |
must ciaret and all kinds of wines, and |
milk or lemonade substituted. Fruits and |
vegetables should be eaten il abundance,
rich candies and cakes avoided, pie never
should be touched, and pickles and acid |
food generally should be dispensed with. |
A woman who follows the above rules viii |
find that her skin will become smooth and
clear after several months have passed. Of
course the dieting must be thorough and
careful. No improvement can be made
unless it is. A tablespoonful of sulphur
taken every other morning for a week, and
then not taken for three days, and then
taken every other morning for q week, is
one of the best things to clear the COM
DleXion 1t acts like magic. 1t should
ALWAYS be mixed with molasseS or some
thing that will clear it from the system.
Salt a tablespoonful dissolved in goblet
of milk, is an old fashioned recipe for beau
tifyipg the complexion. 1t certainly is a
simple remedy, and if it does not help
the complexion it will strengthen the sys-
tenn. A great deal depends upon the con-
stitution of the person and the kind of
complexion she has. What will help one
woman wonderfully will have no effect
whatever on others. One thing is certain.
however, milk is always conducive to
soltening and whitening the skin, and it
is noticeable fact that girls who have
never been allowed to drink tea or coffee,
and who have drunk quantities of milk,
have generally, when they reach the age of
twenty, very beautiful compilations. Boil
ing water is also one of the best things
with which to keep the complexion in
order. tumbler should be drunk one
hour before every meal. If it is disagree
able by itself the juice of half lemon
should be added. Sugar should not be
used. Most women in summer time are
too careless of their compilations and
when winter comes and they go out to
balls and parties they regret 1t. The sun
is excellent for the complexion if it does
not get too much of it. A little browning
and freckling is oftentimes very beneficial,
but when the face is exposed to too great
measure of the suns rays the skin is apt
10 become coarse. Wells, very thin ones,
should always be worn at a seaside resort,
unless parasols are carried. The salt air
and sun together are bad for the complex
ion, though excellent for the general
health. The face should always be washed
in water that has the chill taken off it.
Warm water is not good for the complex
ion, despite all that has been said TO the
contrary; neither is real cold water. The
one makes the skin habby, and in time
wrinkles it: the other roughens it. Dat
meal and Indian meal water are both eX-
cellent for washing the face and hands in.
The meal softens the skin and gives II
delicate flush which is very becoming.
The majority of women will also find that
salt water will help their compilations.
Get ten cents of rock salt every month and
wash in basin into which good lump of it
has been placed. Rain water is an excel
lent thing for Inc skin. and there is as
much truth as poetry in the saying that the
early dew of the morning will make like
the face of an angel the woman who bathes
IN it."-E1change.
NUISANCE FOR GIRL TO BE PRETTY.
4 vastly pretty girl told me-ouite conf
ientially. you understand, and without q
grain of vanity-that it is a positive nui-
1anoe for girl to be bewiching when she
travels AN ugly girl can go anywhere or
do anything" she said, and no notice is
taken of her but pretty girl is watched
every instant, and admiration from stran-
it's nonsense, but that doesn't alter the
fact Take small illustration. An ugly
girl holds out her ticket for the conductor
TO take. In doing so his hand slightly
presses her own, She knows she isn't be-
Wildering on sight, and she can reasonably
regard the touch as accidental. Not so with
the pretty girl. She is bound to construe
such a thing as fiirtatious advance and
80 she is compelled to repel it While in
Paris saw q Characteristic example of the
fact that usage makes all the difference in
the matter of letting man touch ones
hand. A charming young woman was
employed in department of one of those
big stores that are among the sights of
Paris. One day l saw her instantly re-
pulse man who had barely touched her
hand. He did it in a way that left her no
doubt that he meant sentiment. But within
an hour / saw her selling gloves to a much
Younger beau and, in accordance with
custom there, she was putting them on his
hands She handled his hands deity,
softly and thoroughly, and have no doubt
be liked it bat she was merely doing a
business duty and felt no harm. Clara
BeiLe's Letter,
LEARNING HoUsEwoRK.
If mothers educated their daughters to
think more h0norably of housework, we
would not have so many inefficient house
keepers but if the mother is efficient in
the control of her home she had rather do
the work than have the trouble of teaching
her daughters, forgetting that this is an in
Justice to them as well as to herself and
she can no more neglect this part of their
education than she can neglect their educa-
ton from books; ana they should be
taught to understand that to be an adept in
the art of sewing, plain or otherwise, is as
great an accomplishment as music and
painting; not that underrate these latter
accomplishments, but consider the former
as equal to them, and it seems strange to
me that mothers are SO blind to this most
essential part of their daughters education.
When we contemplate the many un-
happy homes, made so by the incapacity
of their mistresses, our best instincts con-
vince us that the training of our girls is
absolutely wrong. l once heard a farmers
daughter say to her mother a week before
she was married, 81 have never made a
loaf of bread or cake an1 she was % at
that time and her intended was farmer,
and the mother was well assured that the
daughter would have to be her own
h0usekeeper.
But even in the case of dividing the care
of the household with servants, the discip-
line is better when the lady has practical
knowledge of how things should be done
and the length of time required in the per-
Torrance of certain duties if she has a
knowledge of these facts she will be more
kind and patient mistress.
While believe that our girls should be
be proficient in every department of learn
ing, think also that they should be taught
theimportance of serving an apprenticeship
in the kitchen at the same tinle.-Praaicai

THE MANAGEMENT OF HUSBANDS.
Just want to say few words about the
management of husbands. 1t is funny
subject to introduce but when we see the
long list in the papers of divorce petitions
it seems as though there is some remedy
for some cases in how many cases is it
not the lack of giving away to one another
in the way of will7 A woman is often the
making of a man. Just govern your own
will and he will soon govern his Hus-
bands are very much like children-they
