cold wash is not the skin hard, bright and
full of color in the open air? You can
never have a pretty complexion with a
soft skin, as it is soon married with
wrinkles. So you would avoid Wrinkles
avoid hot water. It extracts the natural
oil of the skim After one has depended
on hot and warm water to prevent wrinkles
this is simply narrowing. How am TO
know what is best and right?
Such things as reason and judgment
come convenient when assertions contra
dict each other. Observation also plays a
conspicuous part in determining ques-
lions. never ask anything better than
the words OF persons interested as testl-
mony for or against an opinion. The as
sertion that sEyou can never have pretty
complexion with a soft skim is simply
absurd as proven by the hundreds OF
lovely old ladies with compilations tender
and fine as a child's, which have kept
ROSY color and plumpness without more
wrinkles than many women snow at
twenty EIGHT. Again, after cold wash
the skin is lust as apt TO be blue, pallld,
shrunken in the open air as the opposite:
The sshard, bright skin, full OF color, -
is NOT the complexion women OF refined
taste desire in themselves or others. Such
a skin is that of the Dutch painters ana
the portraits OF Queen Anne S time high
colored. hard, bright faces which look as
if the blood was ready to squirt from them.
AS for hot water extracting the natural
oil of the skin, remember that the OIL IS a
constant secretion, and five minutes
washing in hot water daily cannot inter-
fere with the deposition of oily secretion
for the rest of the twenty four hours.
Heat stimulates secretion, cold checks 1t.
NV correspondent has her own experience
that the hot water practice is satisfactory,
to which let me add this from the recent
letter of woman who only began to care
for her complexion after she was past
thirty, a busy worker IN social ways ana
a model houselzeeper, besides being
yivacious. tireless writer for the press:
stMy dear, you are right am younger,
Younger than I have been for twenty
years You gave me cosmetic some
months ago in the pages OF PhIladel-
pbia paper-and that is hot water"
PRAY observe that it is always advised to
wash the face, whether in hot or cold
water. some time before going out OF
doors, to avoid the sudden change OF
temperature on skin moist with fresh
secretion. The hard, red skin, treated
to plenty of cold water and rubbing with
coarse towels after the parrot advice OF
writers who copy each other, betrays it
self by puffiness ofthe cheeks and a fuzZI-
ness which destroys its charm in the eyes
of connoisseurs. We want the peacy
color, perhaps, Dub nOG bu6 pSdCuy luz
on the cheeks of women.
By the way, what possible right can
woman have to think of age at thirty?
If | have any ambition in writing these
papers week after week, it is TO inspire
women with defiance of age and failure,
to convince them of the saving truth that
beauty should endure with life, and be
more brilliant. more conquoring after
forty-fye than before it.
I'LL
never seen fifty again, who was literally
turning the heads of men at gay sum-
mer resort. 1t was not merely that her
complexion and figure were those of a
young woman, but the light grace of her
movements, the brilliance and expression
of her face and her absolutely unlined
eyes wore the charm OF seventeen with a
fire and Intelligence which seventeen
never knows. This is the conquest of
cheek and liquid eye of youth it can add
the fire, the comprehension and fervor
which youth cannot know. Women are
meant to charm till their latest day, and
fade in fragrance like the roses. Not to
do this is not to know how to live.
L. G. T. I.--s' What will both darken
and increase the growth of the eye
lashes?'
Apply melted cocoa butter mighty with
a fine hair pencil to the roots on the upper
eyelids. Darken them with the black of
cloves burnt in candle or on hot stove,
or the charcoal of almond Shells A vase
line pencil for the eyebrows will color the
lashes and needs repeating only once a
week in many cases.
Second What will turn red hair to
a dark auburn? l don't want to dive nv
hair or use anything that will iniure nv
brain, but want something that will
gradually turn the hair dark auburn
You cam t very we'll alter the color of
hair without dyeing, but dark vaseIine
applied three times weekly with carefully
brushing of the hair daily will darken it
while it lasts.
Third-"Can you recommend anything
that will remove freckles and prevent
their returning?"
Lemon juice taken internally and used
as lotion, together with careful hygiene,
