for preserving her strength, good spirits
and good looks, but must keep to our
one especial point at present. Before
dressing for dinner or an evening en-
gagement, sponge No. that Of the
morning being left on its line-is en-
ployed with teIid water to bathe quickly
the neck and arms, but nothing Is done
which could possibly promote chill.
Returning to her dressing room, the
night bath is takon with which glycerine
and rose water are mingled, and the
ablutlon is followed by gentle friction,
the face, after being thoroughly washed
-cspeclally about the roots of the hair
Is subjected to Il rapid and soft rubbing,
alter which sponge soaked in very hot
water Is quickly passed over it for the
purpose OF reopening the thoroughly
clennsed pores
Now remember what these pores mean
to the whole system as well as to the
complexion itself, so in applying any
unguent be careful what You deposit into
these swift canals. Miss -, whose
skin has tendency to over dryness
rubs 1T softly, lightly, but very firmly
with pure cold cream. Where therc is
too much natural oil it is best to have
the face free from any greasing. A caro-

often moro disfiguring than pimples. A
variety of remedies and means of eradi-
cation are to be suggested, but results
are not always gratifying. We knew a
charming American girl who passed
three months at German sanitarium
for the purpose of removing these tor
menting little spots from her face and
without any especially good results. A
system of exercise and bathing and the
use of tho lotion whose formula [ give
was suggested with absolute satisfaction.
Generally speaking these marks arise
from an accumulation of solid matter in
the pores. This must be forced out in
some way and it stands to reason thut
after ejecting it forcibly by means of
pressure there must be applied some
thing soothing to tho skin. Warm soap
and water is excellent and sometimes a
little diluted lemon juice proves satisfac-
tory. But the lotion most conducive to
an absolute cure and which. prevents
their reformation is the following:
Jordan almonds (blanched), one
ounce.
Bitter almonds (blanched), two to
three drachms.
Distilled water, half pint.
Form into an emulsion by bruising
the almonds and adding eight ounces of
water. Strain it.
dissolve fifteen grains of bichloride Of
mercury in boiling water. Then mix the
two solutions.
Apply tie lotion to the black spots or
acne by wetting piece of soft linen
with it, moistening the part of the face
affected and then wiping it off softly
with n clean cloth. Great care must be
taken in applying this lotion to any part
OF the face where there is an opening of
the skin, such as results from cut or
eruption. Should this be the case the
formula given above may be used with
out the ingredient of bichloride Of mer-
curry.
Where there are small skin eruptions
or fever sores about the mouth Miss -
uses, daintily, trife of camphor, also
applied with q soft linen cloth.
