Only smooth whalebone and little
patience are required for the renovation
of ostrich feathers. Beginning at the
base of the feather, draw each frond
lightly but firmly between the whale
bone and the thumbs; the firmer the

the curl of the feather.
If the face has become rougbened bV
the wind, sponge it often with equal
parts of rose water and brandy. Do
not use toilet washes containing much
alcohol, as they are quite apt to produce
harmful results. The alcohol parches
the skin, renders it brittle and fmpairs
it's nutrition.
When the face is usually pale, battle
it in tepid water, rubbing briskly with
Turkish towel. Then apply every
day the following preparations: Four
ounces of rose water, two ounces of
glycerine, and one ounce of diluted
liquid ammonia. Rub it we'll into tho
skin for about three minutes, and then
wipe off with soft towel. If any
irritation is felt, add a little more CIV
cerine to the preparation.-CGnadtdn
