Atlantic Clty's Girls Cr6.

Atlantic City has what it is pleased to call
an Ozone club of twenty-five members, all
young and pretty Philadelphia girls. These
young ladies, all of them wealthy and Of
high social standing, assemble early in the
morning, each arrayed in close fitting COS
tune, almost identical with a riding habit,
with a corsage bouquet Of pretty jack roses
fastened well up toward their left shoulders,
and short cane in their right hand, and
start down the beach together at brisk
pace. They inhale long draughts Of ozone by
way Of their dainty nostrils and exhale it
slowly through their pretty mouths.-Phila-

The Age of Cosmetics.

The art Of identifying the complexion by
artificial means is very old. The women of
gray antiquity knew how to give their cheeks
the rosy hue which nature had denied them.
In Nineveh the practice of enameling was
quite common. The skin was made smooth
and clean with pumice stone and then COW
cred with layer of white chemical prepara-
tions. A toilet case found in the ruins Of
Thebes contained whole arsenal of little
bottles full of perfumeries and complexion
medicines. The women Of Athens painted
themselves with white lead and vermilion.-
