Diet and Complexion.

A bright complexion will go great
way toward identifying Il plain face.
TO secure it perfect circulation vt
the blood is absolutely necessary, and
to retain it meat diet should be
avoided. The roses must be painted
in the cheeks lips and chin by nature.
Abundant exercise and an outdoor life
are Invaluable.
Animal food is not conducive to
fine color. Meat once q day should
be the limit Meat broths, soup ex-
tracts and ,jel]ies are. on the other
hand, very wholesome. vegetables
should form the diet, and as they sre
numerous no difficulty will be found
in getting 4 change. Lettuce, one OF
the most valuable green's, contains
sufficient amount Of opium to freshen
the complexion by absorbing the i'm
purities of the blood that otherwise
would appear on the face i'll the form
of pimples and eruptions. "The soups
of the king prepared for the dyspep-
:, tic Charles VI. are still favored by
beauties in all countries. In this age
thew are known as cream soups
All are white or of a delicate tint and
free from greasy or oily substances,
the stock being extracts from some
strong soup.
Asparagus, beans, celery, caulifower,
tomato, cucumber, chickweed, crab
and lobster are some of the fifteenth
century soups that are considered fav-
orable to beauty color. Soft-bolled
eggs are among the best articles OF
food, and those hard-boiled are among
the worst. Candy, conserves, Gro
quotes, doughnuts, crullers, pattles
and pastry are bad for the complexion,
and so are all dishes that are cooked
in butter or lard. :, Fried oysters are
most injurious because indigestble.
Brown beverages are said to make
the skin dark, and the assertion does
not seem improbable, for just as soon
as children and school girls exchange
their milk mugs for wine glasses and
coffee cups they begin to lose their
peach blossom beauty. German ladies
drink white wine and white beer, and
the French beauties dilute their red
wine for the preservation of their tine
complexion. There is no danger of
drinking too much cocoa, chocolate or
coffee, half milk. Sweet milk, sour
milk and buttermilk are real beauti
fiers There is nothing better than
lemonade to clear the skin. Water is
good all the time.-New York CONNER

Fnvorite Material for Bathing Suits.
Mohair is the favorite material fol
bathing suits this summer. 1t is liked
because it does not shrink, nor does i
cling to the figure when wet, as fame

Black suits are effective and especially
popular. Navy blue suits are Away
liked, a few red suits are seen, bu
white is little used this year.
Short suits are in great favor, bu
are not carried to the extreme seen Il
French watering places. The Skin
should reach just below the knee AM
should conceal the drawers. The wais
and drawers are made in one piece
being Joined by Il belt, and the seDa1
ate skirt is buttoned to the belt Yoke
are less used than formerly, and waist
s. are not so blouSe-like. Most waists ar
belted, but with little fullness ut til
belt-line, and none ut the top. Man
of the popular trimmings of dres
waists are seen in bathing suits, suc
as revers, the Derby collar and shol!
der rutfies. Short sleeves are wor
almost altOgether, as they are liked o.
swimmers; they consist now Of on
large short puff, or else Of pleate
rufl1e falling half way to the elbow
The skirt is about two yards and
quarter or half in width. The draw
ers may be wide at the knee and sir
ply hemmed, or else they are knicke1
bockers drawn up by elastic bands.
Well-shrrnlsen braid, either cotton Q
worsted, forms the best trimming
White mohair bands two and one-hal
inches wide overlaid' with four row
of narrow colored braid, Or else wit
the rows of braid above the mohal
band, make effective trimmings fc
skirt and drawers, and also form til
belt and collar -Harper's Bazaar
