WHICH we nave DtGn accustomed 10 COu-
slider reliable in all its FORMS there are
now innumerable grades and qualities
A sensible woman will exercise as much
discretion in the selection of soaps and
preparations for her face as she would
in consulting a dentist or an oculist
Soaps should be carefully made and Of
the best material A thoroughly well
made soap Of the finest ingredients can
not be sold at low price. Like every
thing else manufactured, quality and
labor must be considered and paid for.
Something depends on the season of the
year in which soap is made, for dur
ing the summer the fats used are some
times rancid, and skin diseases result
from the impurities applied to the face
Scented soaps are often deleterious, the
perfume drying the oil and producing
scaly skin.
The best known soap for the complex
ion and hands is a genuine olive oil soap,
which Is almost odorless, but its faint
odor is pleasant. 1t is difficult matter
to distinguish this soap from the CASTLE
unless you have them together for COM
parison. On account Of the high price Of
the olive oil soap it is not readily found,
dealers contenting themselves with sell
ing the several grades Of CASTLE which
are apparently SO much like it. One
should be as careful about soaps used on
the skin as about diet With the olive
oil soap and rainwater, which it is quite
worth while to take pains to procure,
one need have no fear Of impurities.
Nine. Patti, the beauty and purity Of
whose skin are well known, cares for her
complexion in this way: In the morning
she rubs little genuine olive oil soap
on a soft cloth moistened in tepid water,
and upon that she puts little Patti rose
cream in order to counteract the natural
effect of injury to the skin from impuri-
ties in the water, adding few drops Of
face tonic. Then she washes her face as
any other woman would with Turkish
toweling wash rag and puts on little
powder to complete her ablution This
she repeats after driving or whenever
her face needs cleansing. At night,
washing in this same manner, she after
anoints her face with cream, which re-
mains on during the night and causes
the impurities of the skin to exude. She
never uses preparation which she has
not had analyzed by reputable chem
ist, and when sending an order for any
soaps, creams or powder always adds,
''Please omit scent. This care and deli
cate consideration for her complexion
explain why the famous diva still re-
tains her fresh and youthful appearance
and probably will do SO for many years
to come She considers it worth her
while to use care and the best prepara-
tions to be obtained. And she thorough
ly understands that if she were to take
excellent care of her face for a week and
then neglect it for several days, after the
fashion Of her less beautiful sisters, she
would lose the effect of all her labor
Under the delusive and much abused
name of ''facial massage many spe-
cialists have treated their patients most
unfairly by rubbing, pinching and
twisting the delicate tissues Of the face
with no regard for their natural condi-
ton Nothing but disappointment and
disaster could follow such treatment,
and while not wishing to arrogate to
myself the possession Of the only good
treatment for comnlexion that is to be
obtained l would carefully warn ladies
against employing facial specialists
