The Most Important Thing Is to Keep the
Skin Clean-Soap and Water the Most
Healthful Things-Be Wise in Eating and
Take Plenty of Exercise.

Healthful Things-Be Wise in Eating and
Take Plenty of Exercise.
Exercise and again exercised This is the
Alpha and Omega, the beginning and end, Of
exhortatiou.
Exercise! So shall your eyes be bright,
and your skin clear, soft, satin smooth and
healthy.
1t is as easy to have fine complexion as
good education, and the means are just as
certain if you will but discipline the body
with half the care bestowed on the mind.
If your skin is faded in color, sallow and
will not catch the delicious pink glow Of the
last novel you read, exercise. Ii 1t is losing
the elasticity it had when you were younger,
if it looks fabby and pallid and old, exer-
else. If it has become coarse in texture and
full Of minute holes, if it is 81 ly, blotchy
and irritable, exercise TILL it smiles, and
grace, freshness and fairness make it dimple
and beam once more.
Wash it first. 1t is shocking to think how
many an exquisite skin is r. ned by lack Of
frequent and thorough bathing. The dam
age done by such neglect can never be RENE
died by all the unguents, lotions and cosmet-
les ever invented. The hue and Try raised
against the use of soap and water ON the face
better for the skin of any part Of the body
than warm water and imported CASTLE soap,
unperfuned, made of clear olive oil and ac-
knowledged by chemists to be absolutely
pure. Let Patti wash her face with cold
cream and actresses innumerable wipe away
dust and stage make up and perspiration
with vaseline only; between you and me, to
clog the skin indefinitely with sour milk or
grease is filthy trick unworthy Of common
intelligence.
EXERCISE TIE SKIN.
Did it ever occur to You that the SKIN
wants exercise and gets very httle2 Nothing
is better tonic for the complexion than
brisk, cold sponge bath on rising, followed by
q vigorous rubbing with dry towel, not too
coarse, the face and neck receiving their full
share of the friction unless tie skin be very
sensitive, in which case Ine bare hands may
be the instrument instead of the linen. This
sets the blood to moving brisk1y and electro
fes the system. At bedtime warm bath
may be taken, and the face should be washed
slowly, carefully and thoroughly with warm
water and CASTLE soap. The oily matter ex-
uding from the skin catches minute par
ticles of dust, which cannot be removed IN
any other way, and many eruptions on the
face are caused 10y nothing else than neglect
of this simple precaution. After this whole
some cleansing dip the face into a basin OF
clear, cold water, opening and shutting the
ewes under the surface, and the flesh will be
left firm and healthy. Tie entire process will
take barely ten minutes in the morning AMI
twenty at night, and can, If needful, be taken
from the regular sleep, the bath being quite
as restful and refreshing.
After such a cleaning the skin is ready &c
be taken out of doors, but it must be fed be-
fore going. A simple, nutritious diet is just
as necessary to fine complexion as rain and
sunshine are to flowers. 4 taste for whole
some food often seems to need as careful cul-
tivation as taste for good reading instead
of trashy novels. VIII the girl who makes
herself bilious with strong coffee DO sallowl
She will VIII the woman who prefers
pickles and pink ice cream to roast beef or
juicy beefsteak have blackheadss Most as
s,lredly she viii. Let the woman whose skin
is dull thick, yellowed with moth patches
and sluggish eSchew chocolate, gravy and
grease, salads and sweetmeatS, or eat them IN
small quantities and under the most favorable
conditions. Let her eat good beefsteak, the
soft mart of fresh CLAIMS scalded in their juice,
broiled fresh fish, fresh apples or peaches with
cream, and to give the face color unter-
mented grape juice or malt extract and
brown bread.
IL the digestion is bad and a poor skin Is
traceable to this cause let her eat toasted
crackers, with fruit juice, beefSteak, chopped
raw and Drowned, clam broth, grape juice,
soft boiled eggs and whole wheat bread. Ii
she is thin and wishes to gain at once flesh
and color let her eat only what satisfies hun
ger, and eat very slowly, but eat vegetables
81 oil -i,r1c
simply cooked meats five or six times day
if she Graves them, and drink pint mlIk
Just before going to sleep. If she l. leshy
and vet anaemic let her reduce her weight
and make blood by eating good beefsteak,
lettuce, tomatoes, string beans, cabbage and
caulihower. Let her eat whole wheat bread
and abjure cake and pastry.
And what to do with a skin which, after
bathing and after dieting, still looks langud
and unhealthy like plant grown III a cellari
WHY, exercise We women stitch our trials
and our losses and crosses into scarfS, cur
tains and doilies when we should take our
woes out into the sunshine; they need air and
LIGHT. We should pound down our pains,
walk our quick, firm footsteps, and as the
tired heart all unconsciously beats an accom-
paniment 10 the flying feet, and the soft air
gently touches the flushed cheek IN sympathy
and the glad warm sunshine rests on the face
In loving benediction, the pain will be hushed
and new strength and new vigor viii add
new graces.
There is one glory Of the sun and another
glory of the moon, and one star ditfereth
from another star in beauty. Women are
not born equal in personal attractiveness but
any girl, not positively deforned, can be
bred TO be lovely as our girls are bred to hold
their arms down at their sides, TO be LADY
like and to ''graduate.n To begin with, II
ought to be a part of every girls education
to learn TO run. Running is IS natural 10 a
healthy girl as breathing, but it IS carefully
trained out of her at as early an age as pos
sible, and who ever saw = grown woman who
possessed that Supreme grace of Inotioni To
see woman run is to look at a goose wad-
ding. Did YOU ever look at frieze of Greek
girls running in any classic collection! Did
It not impress you with its beauty, health
and sweetness, its joy in living' Could YOU
look at the round, supple limbs instinct with
grace and freedom, the short TUNES, the
6rhtness and poise of the figures without feel
Inc that these large eyed, sound lu1ged crea-
lures were what woman was meant TO bel
Many disorders of the complexion come from
functional difficulties, and TO be able TO run
is TO possess strong hips which bear lies bur
zen easily.
