Fair Sex.
WASHINGTON. June 5-Don't labor
under the delus1on that steaming is
good for the complexion. There is abso-
lutely nothing that so shrivels the skin
and consequently produces wrinkles as
extreme heat. A very beneficial treat
ment for the face is to battle it in tepid
water every night with a wash cloth
made of Turkish toweling and well
lathered with pure olive oil soap, after
which rub the skin thoroughly with
cold cream of your own manufacture.
Don't think that disfguring mole on
your cheek cannot be removed by your
self. By applying a solution of 10 cents
worth of salicylic acid in half an ounce
of alcohol several times day the ex-
crescence will gradually disappear. Per
sistent application is the essential thing
to bring about the desired result.
Don't make the mistake of wearing
your spring hat ON the front Of your
head, as has been the prevailing mode
for the past few years. Dame Fashion
DEGREES a radical change in this matter,
and be the bonnet little or be it big
thrust it as far back from the forehead
as it will conveniently perch. 1t is not

permitted a coquettish glance to half
conceal, half betray itself from under
broad brim, but the fashions viii be
done.
Dom forget that your children may
live just as regular and wholesome a
life in the summer hotel as in their
own nursery at home. The early break
fast, MONDAY dinner and 5 o'clock sup
per prepared for children in all the
modern hotels leave the question of
"early to bed and early to rise'' for the
little ones a matter of option with the
parents, while the out of door rOmps
under nurses charge all the morning,
followed by the long afternoon nap and
another open air frohc until supper
time gives no time for any of that per-
nicious petting and fattery to which a
child is subjected if allowed to be in
the drawing room and dance hall Of q
public resort.
There is no excuse for the lament so
often made by mothers upon their return
to town in the autumn: my little girl
was absolutely spoiled at the beach this
summer. She was petted and praised
until her head was completely turned,
and now she has lost all that pretty I'M
consciousness of manner that was her
great attraction - If mothers will see
that their children are kept out Of doors
all day and are in bed by z O'Clock at
night, the little ones will return home
in the autumn none the worse morally
and much the better physically for the
summer outing.
Don't get into the habit of getting in

veniently near. Street car riding is half
a matter of habit and deprives a vast
number of people of that health giving
walk which would do so much toward
making them strong and vigorous.
Don't forget to put cotton in the toes
of the very pointed shoes, because in or
der to wear the peaked toes at all you
must buy shoes that are at least half an
inch longer than the foot, and unless the
| projecting length is we'll filed the leath-
er will crack and wrinkle in a very I'M
slightly manner. If the shoe is too long,
the foot viii push forward from the
heel, bringing the toe joint up into the
narrow part of the vamp, and thus cause
irritation and swelling.
Don t be dissatisfied with your board
ing house fare as spring progresses and
you feel the enervating effect of the
warm weather. Remember how difficult
it is for even the best of housekeepers,
with everything at her command, to
tempt the appetite of her family at this
season of the year, and for the poor
"landlady," struggling with an i'll paid
cook and a light purse wherewith to pro-
vide the delicacies of the season, it is
next to an impossibilty to get up one of
those nice little meals that alone could
tickle your palate.
Don't fail to put a piece of white wad-
ding or fiber channels over the chest
when you wear one of the new spring
butterfly capes.
These capes are mere airy nothings
and most tempting lure for those hor-
rible little microbes Of grip and pneu-
monia which Turk about under the de-
ceptively brilliant sun of spring.
