FOR BEAUTYS SAKE,
How WOMAN SHOULD PRACTICE
THE ART OF PRESERVATION.

Cosmetics Not Nearly as Beneficial TO,
the Complexion as Hot Baths-VaIuabIs
Suggestions About Water and It's Use
in BathLng-Use of Powder.
The subject of compilations is cf peren
NAL interest TO the feminine heart, though
most advice about compilations is very
theoretical and seems chiefly based on the
notion that the more disagreeable a thing
is the better 1t is A well known society
girl once lived a year on graham mush, and
practically nothing else, except when she
wenf to dinner parties She had poor
complexion when she began, and she had a
poor one when she quit OF course, how
ever, that did not break her faith in mush,
and because she was so careful of her skin
she still went on refusing to dust her face
with the little touch of powder that would
have relieved its greasiness. EFF always
women withskins like sacking e q are the
most particular about preserving them
from powder. Makeup is much worse
Than injRriOus-it is vulgar; it is low form.
But here, as in a good many cases, the sin
Is In being found out If a woman can
help herself arti1icially so that you can't
See that she Is made up, why you should
be grateful for her good looks, that is all.
how TO USE POWDER
There is only one way to put on powder
and that is 20 put on cold cream first, wipe
that off with dry cloth and then put on
the powder. 1t will do all powder can
safely be expected to dot will give a
soft, youthful bloom to the skin and shade
defects. The most touchingly naive thing
in the world is the way numbers of women
paint themselves with liquids that turn a
delicate violet tint and then come forth
into the light of day with full confidence
that people viii believe that God made
them that color. Violet is fashionable, but
not on the nose. Two sovereign laws can
be laid down about make up; 1t should be
deceptive land that means that there must
be but little Of IT'D and il must all be washed
OFF at night. Theoretically, of course, it
Is very bad to clog up the pores of the skin
with anything, but, as a matter of fact,
scores of women who make up keep their
nice skins much longer than farmers wives.
Look at actresses! There is not another
class in the world that can furnish such
number Of such young looking women be-
tween 40 and 90 as Patti, Bernhardt, Lolita,
Kate Claxton, Ellen Terry and Sara
Jewett.
How do they do it2 It is not stage make
mp that has kept all these women good
looking. No, indeed. They neutralize
the makeup and the late hours and the
bad air Of the stage chiefly by one thing
that is keeping clean. Undoubtedly they
owe great deal, too, to the introduction
of French cosmetics as well as TO Turkish
baths If you want to be safe on cosmetics
either get things from somebody who
makes them or one whom you can per
sonally trust. There may be some trick
ing and wirepulling about them some
times, but they still offer thousand
times better chance of purity and whole
bomeneSs than things made in this too, too
utterly free country.
THE TURKISH BATH RECOMMENDED.
But the great source of good comDlexions
is the Turkish bath. Look at the class of
club men who indulge III such Injuries
You can pick them out anywhere in a
crowd by the freshness of their skins
After the club men come the actresses and
then the society women Within the last
half dozen years there has been a change

known bathing establishments What does

MASSAGE As BEAUTIFIEE.
The face itself is generally greatly helped
by very gentle brushing, using at the
same time some of the French soaps at
