This is the season when the complex
Jon specialist smiles happily in anticipa-
tion of golden harvest later on. This
is the season when breakfast griddle
cakes and dainty bits of sausage begin
to appeal more TO Miss Roseleaf than
grapes and oatmeal, and hot rolls and
smoking mullins seduce her heart from
graham bread. This is the season when
she does not like to venture forth into
the wind, but sits near the register in
stead and lets the coal gas begin its
deadly work on her skin. This is the
season when she stays up late o nights
and lies abed late O mornings, when
her cold sponge does not seem inviting,
and when she opens her bedroom Win
dow just crack before she goes to
sleep. All os which means that Miss
Roselcaf will be Miss Sere-and-yellow-
leaf if she continues in her reckless
course.
In the first place, she must sleep with
the fresh air pouring into her room as
much as possible. Extra covering on
the bed and screen at it's foot to pre-
vent draft will render the course per-
fsctly safe one. Oxygen is even more
potent than cold cream to bring the lily
and the rose to their proper places. Then
she must not abandos that cold sponge
each morning. 1t is something with
which no young woman can toy. She
cannot stop taking it for a week and
then resume, unless she wants to leave
the world gracefully in an attack of
pneumonia. But by taking it religiouay
every morning and rubbing down after
it she can send the blood dancing
through her veins, snap her fingers at
the cold and make her skin hard, firm
and healthy.
Occasionally Roseleaf may indulge in
hot bread, cakes and sausage, but gen.
orally she had better cling to grains and
fruit. On the days when the fieshpots
of Egypt tempt her and she falls vic
tim to her fondness for fried things, she
shslld indulge in double amount of
outdoor exercise.
Every day, rain, snow, dust, hail or
sunshine, Roseleaf must go forth and
cultivate her complexion in the open.
She need not also cultivate chapped lips
and cheeks, though, but may wear a
thin, spotless veil.
At night the oatmeal bag should come
into play. Roseleaf's face should be
washed thoroughly in hot water with
soap or oatmeal. Then it should be
rinsed in hot water in which benzoin has
been dropped. Then she should dry her
face and throat gently. dip her fingers
into cold cream and begin gentle mas
sage. Her forehead should be firmly
rubbed with the tips of her fingers. The
place where the little frown leaves its
mark should be stroked up and down.
The place where laughter leaves its
mark in wrinkles about the mouth
should be rubbed up and down with the
thumb. The lines beneath the eyes and
the crowsfeet should be stroked from
the nose outward very gently and very
firmly. Then her chin and throat should
be masssged back and forth, up and
down, until she knows4,that not tell
tale crease can remain, After which
Roseleaf may say her prayers and go to
sleep happy in the Consciousness that
she has done wliat ahe could for her COM
