WASHING A woMAN's FACE.
She begins by bathing it with tepid water, the
tepid is gradually increased to very hot, and
soap is plentifully used upon it. After another
hot bath, rinsing off all the SOAP, the operator
squeezes out few of the backheads that are
showing themselves, just few at a time, and
after this is done she anoints you with some soft
cream, so that the places may not be irritated,
and for few minutes you lie back in an easy
chair and feel how delightful it is to have an alb
solutely clean face. Then the hot water is used
again, the cream removed from your face thor
oughly, and the cold plunge, so to say, taken.
that is, quickly following the hot a sponge that
has been dipped in very cold water, a sponge
large enough to cover your entire face is called
into service. The result of this? To keep
wrinkles away. After that you are tenderly
dried with the softest of damasll napkins and it
is suggested that you look in the mirror You
are almost tempted to ask an introduction to
yourself.
on, ARTFUL, NAUGHTY WOMAN!
You couldn't have believed that your own face
could have been so dirty, and although the de-
lightfully polite operator will tell you that you
really haven't any idea how dirty are many of
the faces, how very dirty, you go away with
sinking at your heart and a determination to
keep on going until every blaclhead has tisap-
peared and you have thoroughly mastered the
art of washing your face. You are not inclined
to tell anybody about this visit, but you know
that it has been wise thing to do when Charlie,
who has not been scotched by the late trouble
in Wall street, says to you, ''Girlie, what makes
your eyes and skin look so much better than
theyused to-" And you, like the dear that you
are, say that you think it's because YOU have
been taking more exercise and have better ap-
petite, for never, never would you confess to
the man of your heart that you had dirty face.
Still, it's true.
BY GAsLIGHT AND BY DAYLIGHT.
often wonder how it is men marry women
who they know use a lot of rouge or, worse still,
paint, and whom they never have seen in the
morning. Woman is essentially lazy animal
When she is industrious it is for her misfor-
tune, not q virtue. Consequently, when she
comes home after theatre and supper, nine
times out of ten she tumbles into bed without
thought of what she has on her face, and nine
times out of ten she doesn't even take her hair
down-that is, if it is her own hair. And the
consequence is she is anything but beautiful to
look upon in the morning by the bright light,
and her temperi is pretty much in consonance
with her looks. She either finds good in moth
ing, or else she is in ptiful stage, when the
person on whom she lavishes all her confidence
is herself
WHEN WOMAN SHOULD LOOK PRETTY.
Now, if a woman everlooks pretty in her life,
she ought to when she is in bed, for there is
always the probability of fire. The nightgown
of to-day is poem, and the woman inside of it
ought to be ideal; but unfortunately she forgets
about the fire, she only knows she wants to go
to bed, and she don't care whether she smears
the pillow slip with rouge and blue pencils and
eyelash sticks Oh, yes, she uses blue pencil
not to mark herself out Of creation, but to make
dark line just inside her lower eyelid. She is
quite willing to risk running her eyes, or any
thing else, for that matter, if she can only ap-
pear what she considers beautiful. Silly being.
Don't let her get herself to nunnery, but take
herself instead to face-washing establishment.
clean face is great incentive to clean
mind, and the woman of to-day can be improved
by cleanliness in any manner.
