the carpet nice, and my lady put on Q huge
linen peignoir and sat at her ease with foot

IMPROVING THE Skin.
I'm the morning the face was sponged Of and,
while wet. busted with fine borax powder and
LETT to dry. This refined the skin and stimu-
lated fresh growth. besides bleaching IT, The
powder YVES not washed off but brushed of ,
ana answered for regular face powder. besides
Oieaching and erasing most of the wrinkles. A
paste OF oorax aud glycerine was wonderful for
softening the face, and after this of the
maid, sponged the face with salt water and
brandy TO tone the muscles and keep the cheeks
from dropping in the horrid middle-ayed look
When yonr cheeks dip ever SO little below the
line OF the chin goodbye beauty and bewitch-
ment After the salt bath for ten minutes, all
the deep lines o! the face had little thick cream
and rosewater rubbed softly into them with care
not to touch any other part of the face. Anss-
tasia SAID fussing over the face too much
brought down on the cheeks. of which she had
a grea: dread. You know Mrs. H, the rich
Colorado woman, who had such a fearful downy
face and tufts of hair on her chin? All that
was taken off by a preparation which left the
skin like an infants and the growth never ap-
peared again. II took three months time. bnt
1t was worth the trouble. 1t has to be used
very carefully, so not to skin the face en-
tlrely, but il is very different from the arsenic
depiatorles in common use.
PowDEBIsG BY DAY.
''Did she powder by day? Yes. spraying the
face first with rose water five minutes and
touching when just moist enough with a piece
of mole skin dipped in the veivety powder
No paint, but the amber fluid which turns pink
on the cheeks delicateiy applied, not on the
cheek bones and around the eyes, which makes
one look hollow checked always, but lower and

on the ears. Don't you know how people used
to admire the pink tips of Miss Schaumberg'
pretty little ears when she was the belle of

reddeus the curve OF the ear and the tip OF the
lobes as artistlcally as she shapes the cleft OF
the dilnple in the chin.
EVENING RITES
"For evening the rites were still more gra-
cious. The face and neck were covered with
lint dipped in hot milk, left on ten minutes, to
soften and fill the tissues. The marsh-mallow
paste worn at night did away with wrinkles in
a few weeks. and the vichy and the pepsin and
the grape cure, with maps out of doors in sum-
mer, had restored the woman to a second
youth. The triumph of Anastasia was to send
her mistress out radian. with as little toilet work
as possible. touch of ginger extract from the
vaporizer will bring the color to the cheeks
and lips, my dear, without paint, and the blood
IN the face brings fire to the eye without bella
donna.
THE EYEBROWS WERE CoLoRED
with seal-brown dye once a fortnight and the
lasbes touched with lanoline and caieput to
favor their growth. The hands and arms were
soaked in basin of warm milk to whiten and
nollrish them after patient massage. The
pistache cream heightened their fairness and
made the flesh deiis htfully supple and fragrant.
You will find the whole battery in the cabinet
bottles, the almond paste and cream, the pis-
tache and the mallow paste and powder. the
borax and giyeerine in that Greek jar OF white
pottery and the lily mucilage for the face in
that lovely vase of Italian ware. Every paint
and paste, powder and pastill worth naming is
on those shelves and my Murauo and Floren-
tine pieces are put TO good use in holding
them That is my fad, but don't pretend to
use half of them" SHIRLEY DARE.
