Miss Helen Russell has IL complexion like "a
rose petal, and this is her recipe for keeping

of fresh air and exercise, and unless pre-
vented by some very important engagement
take n long walk every day. 1t is my opin-
ion. based on extensive and careful observa.

much indoor life. J think every woman who
values n good complexion should perform
some manual labor or take some such exercise
as is certain to stimulate perspiration. Just

Fanny Rice believes that IA nice complex
ion is the outward sign of inward health. 1t
depends un good food, good hours, fresh air,
exercise and moderate contentment. | don't
think | ever knew n shrcw with Il nice COM
pleXion, and | believe the medical profession
will bear me out when | assert that outdoor
exercise and fresh air are absolutely necessary
for beauty and health. You know indoor
flowers are alwaySp pale and thin. Before YOU
can have Il good face you must have a good
digestion. Get the system in regular trim,
battle freely and frequently, cat plenty of
fruit with simple meats, eat in II thoroughly
ventilated room, exercise in the open air, and
the chances arc your health will be mirrored
in your face. Don't wash your face in OK
tremcly hot or icy water, and never wash
IN re than once n day, and then before break
fast. 1t is rninons to 60 out in the cold air
immediately after making the toilet. Keep
II pot of cold cream at hand to use whenever
it seems necessary To clean the face. Powder
is harmless if used with cold cream and, like
IL veil, serves to protect the face from dust,
sun and wind. The skin has Il grain and
should be rubbed whichever way that runs.
l am told by n we'll known beautifier that
wrinkles can be retarded by rubbing or dry
ing the eyes towards the nose and the cheeks
up, instead of down."
