Caring for the Complexion.

The majority of women wash their
faces too frequently, writes Ella Wheel
er Wilcox. There is no fabric which
would not become dingy, discoiored
and roughened if soaked in water
half dozen times during the day and
then exposed to the cold of winter
or the heat of summer. Just SO it is
with the human skin. Dust or soil is
quite as readily removed from the face
by Il fragrant cold cream, or, better
still, an application of delicious al
mOnd meal.
Some years ago gained knowledge
of this wonderful and simple toilet ac-
cessory. Since then have sung its
praise to many ladies, and | do not
hesitate to saw that have seen mar
wells resulting from its use. Any lady
can procure and crush the common
almonds into a pulpy meal for her
own purposes, or any druggist can
prepare them. The face should be
mOistened with water, and Il thimble-
full of the meal rubbed thoroughly
into the pores. It leaves the skin as
soft as velvet, with q fine impercepti-
BILE and fragrant oil, which is the best
wrinkle preventive in the world. 1t
leaves the face kissable and sweet, too,
and not in the least greasy. Any man
who had ever detected a suspicion of
toilet soap about the perfume of his
wife'S cheek | am sure would find the
almond odor far more pleasing. I
know q lady past so who says the con-
dition of her absolutely unlined and
delicate skin is entirely due to the
semi-daily application of almond meal
for twenty years. think the rubbing
it necessitates is beneficial also. I
have seen q malicious little furrow
chased wholly away from the corner
of an eye by the untiring zeal of strok-
ing hands.
[ knew a young girl to utterly ruin
lovely complexion by the wholesale
use of various powders. 1t is like
painting the lily or adorning the rose
for young girl who possesses good
skin to use powders. But the woman
whom nature denied or time has
robbed of this charm | think is greatly
improved by delicate dust of harm
less powder, carefully brushed away
with a soft flannel or chamois, SO no
particle of it is perceptible to the OBJ
servant eye. On hot day many q
lady is obliged to use Il powder cloth
to remove the ''shine" which is such
foe to fine complexion.
[ once heard a gentleman say that
he liked to see trace of powder on q
pretty cheek, it was such delightful
temptation to brush it off, but ali men
are not so appreciative. l wish the
women who recklessly decorate their
faces in a dim room could see them
selves as others see them when thew
walk forth into the broad light of day
or into the electric light
