ing. After exercise the muscles and
tissues must be fed. Flesh tissues be-
come dry. dead, slack, hungry. The
face looks worn, old. These tissues
must be fed Systematically through the
pores. The furnishing of skin food
through the pores is of infinitely more
value to beauty than the offering of food
through the stomach. When starved
the muscles of the face relax like the
strings of violin; they cannot respond
to exercise-the face caves in in spots
looks haggard, old.
These foods must, however, be pre-
pared with greatest care and intelli-
gence, and with individual study of the
skin to receive them. For this one must
depend upon a specialist. 1t is coming
to be the general practice for the well
groomed woman to place herself in the
hands OF skilled specialist for examina-
tion and work under her direction, as in
the case of the dentist. doctor or hair
dresser, for the skin is quite as individual
as the system. What is benefit 10 one is
injury to another.
believe in the skin specialist. There
are no more frauds among them than
among the other curative professions,
and IN response to the demand they have
become as skilled and conscientious as
any. 1t stands TO reason that one who
makes any speciality study knows more
about it than one who is ignorant Of its
first principles. More harm is worked to
the average complexion through ignorant
experimenting by the women them
selves than from any other cause.
The beautifying paraphernalia of every
woman interested IN face culture today
includes d set of from six to eight bot
ties of liquids of various colors-cream,
white, yellow, pink, red and froth-in
all stages of liquiGity, from clear water
to muddy oil, and one or two jars Of
lardlike cream-not for external apph-
cation as a cover, but to work into the
pores in consecutive order for the nour-
ishment of the dying skin.
Treatments are taken from these once
or twice week IL addition to the regu-
lar massage work Each one is applied,
allowed to rest on the face from two to
five minutes, then washed off with warm
water to give place to the next. The
oils are rubbed we'll i'll with the fingers.
Between the massage, the slight tins-le
produced by eaci, application and tile
delicate odoIs, the velvet cheeks of the
little human palette glow like rose,
while lips and eyes now share in the en-
joyment. The face is being beautified
naturally.
The skin responds to nourishment as
the stomach does This sort of thing is
coming to be the modern form of beau
tifying, taking the place of the deleteri-
GUS paintings, powderings, waferings
and plasterings of cruder days. The
bellies battle with time is based upon
truer principles, following the line of
sincere physical culture.
Powerful illustrations of the preser-
vation of good looks may be found in
the theatrical and other public career

girls may be found who ego off" in a
