opportunity TO throw off the impurities that
would otherwise clog up the pores. Edwin
Forrest said that man who had never taken
Turkish bath could not claim TO have risen
to the dignity OF being personally clean-and
believe it; and l believe, too, that we
women are allowed to sneak in under the
head of the general term man, and whether
or not we come in under the term we ought
to manage to get into Turkish bath oc-
casiorally, for it is the greatest friend of the
complexion, certainly the most kindly of all,
with which / have had anything to do"
Here is Emma Abbott's facial scheme;
Buy the best soap in the market and use it on
the face once a week. Buy pure glycerine
by the quart, dilute it with a pint Of rose
water, and use the solution every time you
want a nice face. Ny plan is to battle my
face, neck, shoulders, arms and hands in it
every time make my toilet for public or
private audience. I couldn't live without
giycerine, for it keeps my skin in perfect
condition. l never have chapped hands or
rough lips, and there is not biemish on my
face. When make up for the stage pow
der on the wet glycerine, and if the air is
cold, no matter whether 1T Is day or night,
saturate my face with the sweet JUNCTION mix
ture the last thing before leaving the house.
1t is my opinion that soap and hard, cold
water combine to ravage the compilations Of
American women. 1t is a marvel to me how
the ladies in Chicago manage 10 be as pretty
as they are, for the prevailing winds are de-
structive, not only to the voice. bus TO the
youth and beauty Of the face. In New York
and Brooklyn, Boston and Philadelphia,
where the mild influence of old ocean is pre-
dominant, it is every woman's own fault II
her face is not pleasing
Intelligence and goodness will atone for
ugly features, but an ugly complexion is not
to be condoned in these days Of advanced
science. All a woman wants is knowledge to
be beautiful If glycerine is the price Of q
nice skin let her turn her last dime into the
fatty distillation; if cold cream gives better
results, then by hook or by crook get cold
cream in bulk if baptism Of warm water
will make the cheeks glow and the face clean
and kissable, don't stint yourself. Only try
this or that recipe that you know to be con-
ducive to beauty, and swear by that which
enhances your looks" 1t might be stated
parenthetically that Emma AbbottS COM
plexion is as lovely now as it was when she
was child, and her arms and neck are as
white as the satin in which she dresses
''Traviata" for the ball room scene.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox declares there is
nothing to compare with almond meal 1t
is her practice to wash her face once in the
morning, and after drying it she goes to an
open jar in which quantity of the powdered
almond is kept and gives her face good
securing with the oily meal. After dozen
handfuls have been rubbed in and the skin
has a smooth, moist feeling, the fair poetess
is as fragrant as an almond blossom and
proof to chaps or roughness. York
