A strange lotion. which looks and
ismells like paregoric, follows which is
Isparingly used, to harden the muscles
and make the skin firm 1t is claimed
that the harder the flesh the more per-
feet the coloring of the skin. 1t is on
this ground that Melba, Langtry, Mrs.
Kendall and others who take this
treatment, ALLURE the use of the now
ipoular double veil, worn so much by
American women to prevent tan and
soften the complexion. English women
know that the opposite method of
exposing the skin produces the best
result. The double veir' will I'M
doubtedly counterfeit its advantage OF

about the mouth and eyes assuredly

THE irmer the muscles of the face.
the less anxiety for the finger marks

J This treatment belongs to the morn
ing; the night method is nearly the
same, only that a cream of herbs is
supplied at the finale, that is allowed
to remain through the sleeping hours.
J A careful rubbing with rain water. the
first thing upon awakening, removes

her English season. She said this face
doctCring did away with all tle evil
effects of work and worry The bene-
fits last for year and then it would
be gone all over in the same manner
by the same woman. 1t was as bene-
fetal. she thought. as a season at the
baths.
Langtry was beginning her course,
and Mrs. Kendall concluding hers.
| Patti has the treatment administered
to her every spring at her Welsh
castle. She brings the New York
masseuse over and entertains her for
month and a half at Craig-y-Nos.
There she religiously goes through the
ordeal with as much conscience and
earnestness as if she were in a retreat
For six years she has repeated this
method. 1T is no doubt that partly to
this fact she owes that splendid skin
which seems to defy years or hard
work. With her usual generosity, the
diva gives, after each treatment. some
souvenir to the little masseuse.
None but the rich deserve this fair
ness, it seems, for the bill for the six
weeks consists of three figures, $780,
sents but one nights earnings. the
amount is a mere bagatelle to pay for
the entire restoration of the skin.
Mrs. Kendall was at the Langhan1,
where she had the most exquisite suite,
at the time of her treatment and was
leaving that week with her children
for a trip through Germany. She said
that she expected this journey to com
pletely rest and prepare her for her un-
usually early American season.

method Of this face treatment, for it
is so opposed to the American beauty's
Idea of preserving the skin. She soaks
lhers in glycerine, rose water or vase
line thfckly protects it from every
breeze that blows, all of which makes
it fiabby.
Our English sister, on the other hand,
takes every care to prevent softness.
AS these prominent women have taken
up this new cure, it will probably soon
be the fashion for every woman who
can afford it.
In fact. the Princess of Wales Is to
be the next and most important per-
lsonage for the little American
imasseuse to deal with and then rhers
lis no more question as to its popular
lity.
