Everybody cannot have rosy-lily
complexion, but everybody can have
soft, agreeable skin.
First, women who want nice skin
ought not to eat quantities of heavy,
rich food. A diet of fruit, fresh milk,
unbolted -four bread, grains and vege-
tables will do more for the complexion
than a hundred washes. Avoid lard
dishes, spices, tea, coffee and alcohol.
Long drinking of tea, coffee and consti-
pating foods give women cloudy skins
and red noses. A torpid liver causes
constipation, and that ruins the skins.
Dyspepsia and tight lacing redden the
nose
Take bath every day in tepid water
with moderate use of soap. Cold water
in winter roughens the skin and makes
it bark like. Wash your face and neck
in hot water at night just before you 60
to bed. Use soap at this time, but
rinse it off thoroughly. The morning,
when you rise, is the best time for your
bath but don't wash your face with soap
| then.
Women can keep off pimples and sal
low spots by the frequent bath, and eat
ing only plain, simple food. Milk, fruit
and grains are best. Even wrinkles can
be kept at bay long time. This is
done by keeping good-natured and Sc
rene, and by the use of some softening
lotion upon the face every night. Pure
glycerine, thinned with water, is excel
lent. Rub it thoroughly upon the neck,
face and hands just before you go to
bed. 1t will to great extent smooth
out the grim wrinkles, and even soften
the whole expression of the face. You
will be surprised to know how satin
smooth the skin will become. Oatmeal
water is also an excellent lotion. Soak
a cupful of oatmeal in five cupfuls of
water for twenty-four hours. Stir 1t
several times. Strain through sieve
and add bay rum till it is of the thick
ness of cream. Battle the face and hands
at night with this, letting it dry in.
1t is the duty of every woman, no
matter how old, to make herself as
pretty as possible. Never forget that.
One of her chief beauties is good COM
plexion. But don't take artificial means
to get it. Use powders very sparingly,
if you must use them at all. They look
better in the evening than in daylight
Lead powders are rank poison. Yor
may know them by the slightly purple
livid cast they give the face when pu
on heavily. Young girls should never
use powder at all. 1t only dims theil
bright color.
@"Oh, mamma" said the land
lady's daughter, "Mr. Dumley has jus
paid me such compliment"
"Indeed," replied the landlady, Sc
verely. "I wish he would pay me some
thing. What was the compliment"
"He said that the picture of the brac
of quails which have just finished 70
the dining room is done so artisticall
that the very sight of it gives him a
appetite"
"H'm! You take that picture dow
at once and hang it in my room."
