The subject of compilations is of
perennial interest to the feminine
heart. though most advice about COM
plexions is very theoretical and seems
chiefly based on the notion that the
more disagreeable thing is the better

OF course, however, 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 re-
lieved its greasiness. 1t is always
women with skins like sacking that are
the most particular about preserving g
them from powder. Makeup is much
worse than injurious; it is vulgar; it is
low form. But here. as in a good many
cases. the sin is in being found out. If

the way numbers of women paint
themselves with liquids that turn n

God made them that color. Violet is
fashionable, but not on the nose. Two
sovereign laws can be laid down about
makeup; it should be deceptive (and
that means that there must be but lit

One thing in the massagiug way you
can do for yourself and it is extremely
valuable. You can massage your face.
Some knowledge of the usual massage
movement is help. The point is to
very gently move all the flesh on the
bones. and to gently knead every part
icle of it. When you are through you
feel as if you had a new face. and the
effort in keeping the lines and fallings
in from becuming settled and fixed is
great. You should rub your face out

the chin in washing in oiling, in touch
ing it all, because the tendency of the
flesh is to fall in and downward. Two
minutes day will suffice.
