Uses and Abuses of Cosmetics-Formulas

Uses and Abuses of Cosmetics-Formu1as
For Making Creams and Balms.
Cosmetics is a term broadly applied
to anything made to improve the com
plexion. The complexion is one of the
chief charms Of beauty. Nothing is
more attractive than a clear, fine grain
ed, d~elicately tinted skin.
Where q good complexion is sadly
lacking, one is justified in reaorting to
artificial means, bat IN doing 60 should
avoid anything that will tend to make
the bad complexion WORSE, and should
strive to improve the skin. II artificial
means for appearing beautiful naus6 be
used, be artistic about 1t, and don't ap-
ply liquid powder as though white
washing . fence. If the pores Of the
skin must be filled, let it be with the
least harmful OF powders, advises a
writer In Good Housekeeping, who says:
A piece Of fine CHALK may be placed
in q cearse linen bag and crushed in
water, grinding 1t between the fingers.
Then wash the face quickly with the
linen, and the wet powder will be left
in 8 thin deposit. Any superduouspow-
der may be removed by the application
of a damp handkerchief. Or, to use the
dry powder, buy dropped chalk and ap-
ply with a piece Of white velvet. When
me has used powder for q long time, the
face has spots on which the powder will
not stick. The reason Is that the natural
grain Of the cuticle has beer destroyed.
By using velvet instead Of channels skin
or a cloth this will net occur.
Some very dark ladies prefer a tinted
powder to the pure white. Dissolve
dropped chalk inwater towhich aIittle
saffron and alkanet {~vertni1ion) have
been added. Stir and let the powder set
tie. This may be used as a fluid, or if
preferred dry pour of the water and
dry in the sun
To make cold cream take Of ell of al
monds 3 ounces, spermaeeti half an
ounce, white wax a dram. Melt together
and while cooling add . ounces Of rose
water, stirring until cold. Cold cream
may also be made by this formula:
Take 4 ounces of unsaltcd butter, 4
ounces of white wax, an OF vase
line, melt together and perfume with
extract of berganaot. The more cold
| creams are stirred and beaten while
cooling the winter they become.
To whiten the hands melt a pound of
white CASTLE soap owe the fire with q
little water. When melted, perfume
slightly and stir In half a eupful Of oat-
meal. Use this ~preparatioa while wash
ing the hands, and their Improvement
will be surprising. A lotion for sooth-
ing the hands may be made with 2 Ia
~blespoonfuls of lemon juice, ! Of glyc-
erin and / Of almond oil tcolorless)-

ter will be the general effect. High top
s~ideboards. when graceful in ~construc-
ton and artistic in finish, appear to ad-
vantage in rooms with high ceilings.
For smaller rooms these massive at
fairs are Of course out Of place, and some
thing less pretentious must be provided.
There has been revived from the fash
ions of a century ago the low buffet, a
tablelike sideboard, with brackets and
irawers, but without any top. Then,
100, modern manufacturers IRE copying
5he old English dresser, which affords
suitable accommodation for the display
Of china, silver and glassware.
Al charming adjunct to dining room
furniture is a glass cabinet for rare
china too valuable for ordinary use. An
other pleasing accessory is afforded in
the velvet lined hanging cabinets de-
signed for the exhibition Of souvenir
spoons. Few young ladies are without a
collection Of these ornamental but not
always useful trifles. Formerly there
was some doubt as to their disposition,
but the souvenir spoon cabinets have
settled that uncertainty.

LBoTURBD THE NEW YORK MAN.
Vice Chancellor Pitney objects 30 a
Gotham Lawyers Ways.

Chancellor Pitney sat upon a New
York lawyer this morning in a manner
which made the Gothamite look as
though he wished he had never been
born. George H. Boyer brought suit
to forecIose a mortgage upon a piece
of land in Bergen county, and Lucia
S. Chandler, wife of the owner, set up
the defence that when the mortgage
was executed she was not examined
according to the form provided in the
statutes of New Jersey, and that, there
fore, the mortgage was not properly
executed. A New York lawyer named
Thompson testified that he took the ae-
acknowledgement and that he examined the
wife according to the New Jersey form
He also said that he gave the mortgage
TO one of his clerks to eopy the acknowi-
edgment from the book Of forms.
'You did very wrong, sir" ~thundered
the Vice Chancellor, bringing his fist
down on the desk with a bang. Then
he delivered a lecture on the careless
had been taken and pointed out what
serious -nsequen might arise and
what complication Of title might come
from just such q loose a of trans
acting such Important business.
The lecture was highly relisned by ths
lawyers who were in the room while
Mr.. Thompson looked very uneasy, and
as if he wished he was anywhere else
but in the New Jersey Court of Chanc-
erv.
The Vice Chancellor poured oil on the
New York mans wounds, however, by
Chandler and in favor of Mr.. Thomp-
sons clients.

as social reasons, therefore, our dining
rooms should be bright, oozy and rest
full, with an all p~ervading sense of har-
mony.
In these days it is not only possible,
but quite practicable, to produce har-
mony and beauty with inexpensive fit
ments. Where good taste prevails in
the selection Of oolors, for instance, the
wall, the floor covering, hangings and
draperies are all in keeping and the
whole in unison with the furniture. In
dining rooms, as the artistic housewife
knows, blue should be- used sparingly,
for it is too absorbing, and dead white
and grays sye too cold and cherries to
be employed In profusien. In many din
ing CONS there is q trimming of oak, in
which CASE oak furniture is in order,
and the walls and carpet wiil be in
keeping II Of a golden russell hue With
such q combination the dpaperies may

The shape of the table is a matter of
choice. When there is ample space, the
round table, which presents no uncom
Portable corners, is admirable. The
square table has q greater seating ca
paoty, however, and whea the family
is a large cns and the dining room not
oyerwide it is to bs commended. What
ever the form, be sure thas the table is
substantial.
Manufacturers have OF last awakened
to the fact that there ia 9 demand for
comfortable chairs III the dining room

and restful. Provide an armchair for

head of a large family. A second arm
chair should be included in the furnish

the coffee and tea urn, it will be phys
ical economy as well as a mark of dig
nifty. The remaining chairs do not call
for arms, as in an ordinary dining room
these occupy too much space, but they
should be comfortable.
Avoid high back chairs. These OBJ
