strange as it may appear, many people
need instruction regarding the care of the
face. Its beauty is wholly dependent Oh the
health of its skin, which cannot be secured

exclaimed with some show of pride. And

My dear Miss C. II you promise never to
give me away l will tell you. I've had my
face ironed. l read in thepersonals of Sum
days CALL that a lady here in Frisco
ironed faces, and out of sheer curiosity Wis

''Oh, l was forgetting; you asked. also
about the hand. Smallness OF hand is not
absolutely essential to beauty, which re-
quireS that the proper proportions should be
observed in the human body. The beautiful
hand is long and slender, with tapering
fingers and filbert-shaped nails. The hands
should be kept scrnpu!ously clean, and
therefore frequently washed and scrubbed
with stiff ail-bruSh, brushing down, never
thoroughly, and, when whiteness and del

Cream. which may be used instead of soap.

Langtry Cream, which rlnses of in cold
water.
''The nails should be filed once a week
after washing. They should be nicely
rounded ut the corners and the edges beVeled
with an emery until perfectly smooth. On
no account should their surface be scraped,
as this operation tends to wrinkle them.
