women with skins like sacking that are the

HOW TO USE POWDER.
There is only one way 10 put on powder
and that is to put on cold cream first, wipe
that off with dry cloth and then put on
fine powtler. II will do all powder can

soft Youthful bloom TO the skin and shade,
defects. The most tOuchingly naive thing
in the world is the way numbers OF women
mint themselves with liquids that turn
doIicate violet tint and then come iorth
into the lipht of day with full confidence
that people will believe that God made
them that color. Violet is fashionable, but
not on the nose. Two sovereign laws can

is very bad TO clog up the pores OF the SKIN
with ANYTHING, but, rs matter OF iact'
scores of women who make up keep their
nice skins much longer thanfarmcrs' wives.
Look at actresses! There is not another
/, | class in the world that can furnish such

tween 40 and 80 as Patti, Bernhardt, Lolita,

the makeup and the late hours and the

I that is kcepiny clean. Undoubtedly they
owe a great deal, too, to the introduction

baths. If YOU want to be safe on cosmetics

ing and wirepullng about them some
times. but they still offer thousand
times better chance OF purity and whole

/ utterly free country.

c is the Turkish bath. Look at the class OF
club men who indulge in such Injuries.
You can pick them out anywhere in
