beauty in children; exercise; hygiene
of the skin; health calisthenics; breath
ing; the complexion use of soaps, pow
ders, toilet waters and lotions-and we
note with pleasure the assaults upon pois-
onous articles that find their way to the
toilet table. Applications to the skin are
considered. the treatment OF bites and
stings. of skin poisoning, stains, etc. The
care of the hair, the eyes and the ears, the
hands, arms, feet. the development and ex-
ercise of the form are treated, and with
sense and in plain terms that are through
out reasonable and forcible in their
wisdom and purity. We know moth
ing, however, of the merits OF the large
number of recipes given in the division
referred to, but since the text of the chap
tiers is so sensible in advice, we are quite
prepared to assume that the recipes are of
like character. On the whole, the book
impresses the examiner very favorably. 1t
is full of kindly, helpful suggestions and
warnings; it is comprehensive and dis
tinguished by many new features, and the
author has fortified her text with a null
titude of good authorities, which augment
the worth of her text.
