For the present nothing but the mas-
sage treatment. am trying TO restore
the natural freshness OF her complexion
by manipulating the face and feeding the
skin. The skin needs nourishnent as
much us plant does water. In the open
air it gets dusty and Indoors it becomes
parched and feverish. PATHS face was
all that, and black with makeup. The
pores were stopped up and circulation
stopped. 1t needed cleansing. feeding
and friction to excite the pores.

complexion is not any better than the
average, but she makes the most of it.
And then she is so wise about dieting.
She does not eat n morsel of bread unless
toasted, not any starch foods. such as
potatoes, rice hominy, peas. turnips or
carrots. She firmly believes that they
form sponge in the stomach which is
simply indlgestible. Tea and coffee are
