week or two. A mixture Of nowdered
birthstone in diluted glycerine, rubbed
on az night IN connection with the other
treatment, will soon cause them to die
appear. Wash this off carefully in the
morning with soap and water in which
there is a little ammonia. This i not

skins it has the commentator Of an em;-

After a bath, the woman who wishes
70 make her skin healthy and deyelon
her body will have her maid rub her
gently with either almond or olive oil
under the knees, about the throat and
neck, and from there to her waist, adapt
ing tne movement of the hands to the
shape, SO that no hurt is possible. The
Hindoo women thoroughly understand
the art OF rubbing, and are in conse-
quence the most perfectly made women
in the world, 1.-THE, firm of flesh, and
with skins as smooth as satin. All of
the wonderful prescriptions warranted to
develop the body invariably give a posi-
tive command about the rubbing, insist
ing that the development can not be ac-
complished unless the friction is as rcg,,-
larry applied as the wash. Then, if sue
cess is attained, the wash receives all the
appreciation, whereas the credit is due to
the rubbing. Almond or olive oil is only
used to make the skin pliablc and to
open the pores, for it is to the dizziness
of the rubber that the perfectly formed
woman in Oriental lands knows she is in
debted.
