DOM USE COSMETICS.
Beauty Il 10 Be- Preserved BY Natural
Means.
Philedelphia Times.

Means.
Philadelphia Times.
So much advice is given 10 women
about he usa of cosmetics that one
might think a fine compIsxioa some
thing in the nature Of y luxury,
atta'nahle Only by people WITH
plenty of money and time; but it
isn't SO. Witness the peasant girl
that comes over to do homework,
with complexion like satin and rose
leaves. Cosmetics are for skins that
need concealment. and any woman
who will take natural care of her
skin can make her richest neighbor
green with envy. no matter how
much time and how many bottles Of
wonderful stuff the latter has for her
skin. Lots OF outdoor life, plain,
homely food and plenty of exercise
are necessities
Bathing? Well, of course. it Is
good to be- clean, but the lovely
blossomiug skins of those women
who came Gus Of novels aud never
saw Il bath tub are proofs that bath
ing or even decent cleanliness ism {
essential To a lovely skin You sec,
when people take nc exercise, eat all
sorts of horrid stuffs and are in the
house all day, bathing is the only
bygienic resort left. but if q woman
lives out doors as much as ehe can
manage, and subsists chiefly on
brown bread, fruit, milk and oat-
| meal, her skin will at leasb begin to
surprise her for it's smoothness and
freshness.
Since one cannot hope in a north
or two TO attain the texture OF the
peasant satin complexion, here are q
few of the aids to use. Il the skin be
exposed to the dust, smoke or CRIME
| of the city. then it must have careful
attention to keep it clean. Wash at
night with hot soap suds, rinse with
hot water and again with cold, using
the cold water till the skin is chilled.
Dry carefully, not rubbing too hard,
and dust the face with a little cotton
bag stuffed with oatmeal. The
powder that comes out insuIes
absolute dryness and there is an oil
| in it that is beneficial without being
| greasy. This should do for the
ordinary skin, but if the comp EXON
is dreadtuily dry, use cold cream,
| vaseline or oiiveoii tor few nights,
| rubbing q little in thoroughly. In
| the morning Just dash cold water on
the face as a freshener, and dust with
the oatmeal bag after drying.
Don't use water on the face during
| the day A soft cloth, wrung out oil
milk, or made slightly oily, may be
rubbed over the face ii it seems to be
soiled. and you may splash a lit 6
water after, drying ard using the
neal But in the country where the
! meadows permit no CRIME the face
oughtn't to get dirty Freckles and
sunburn? NoEscnsel Let them
alone. OF course you may not by
sudden and vicleut exposure to the
sun bake and blister. yourself, but the
tan that comes slowly can only be a
becoming addition to the smooth
ness and color that goes with q
healthy skin. Cosmetics are not
needed. b. sure your soap is harm
less, avoid all fancy kinds, and use
olive oil or n home made cold cream
and bag oil oatmeal. Nothing elet
is necessary except outdoor life aEC
plain food, with exercise and GOOD
temper t aid digestion.

Housekeeping, and Honemaking.

Housekeeping and Homemaking.
Philadelphia Times.
Housekeeping is not always home
making, and the modern woman is
beginning to find it out. To live for
the house and it's glory is one mode
of existence; another mode is to
make the house exist for the sake of
the people who are to adorn it. The
former is housekeeping; the latter is
homemaking. You can discern the
difference between home and q
house directly on entering domicile,
if you are half way observant. You
can tell by the books and the tides
and the arrangement of the diyans
and the pillows and the lamps. The
real state of things is in the atmos-
phere, and is as discernahleas though
written on the wall.

CAMP LEE.

Camp Lee looks like vivid. paint
ed picture. On the banks of the mar
row Baxter bayou is range of grand
wild trees. dark green and cool even
in the middle OF the day. These serve
as back ground TO row of twelve
canvas tents. Opposite the line of
tents is an open Pavilion. very long
and only wide enough to contain the
soldiers narrow mess table. with
straight board benches on either side.
At the end of the alley formed by the
tents and the Pavilion, is small
summer house. yellow in color and
looking like the grand stand of race
track in a country town.
Such is the camping ground of the
East Carroll Guards. Here. for IL week
they stay and lead the life of Sold
iers This is the programme:
Reveille, 6 a. NJ.

Many visitors from Providence and
the surrounding plantations come to
see the company drill at 4:30, and Il
right merry, good time do the sold
iers make them have; showing them
over the grounds, entertaining them
at supper and treating them with the
chivalry characteristic of Southern
men.

the grounds we found the drill had
taken place aud many visitors were
departing The camp was somewhat
deserted Up and down the long,

foliaged trees.
In few moments the remaining
visitors left, and the gray twilight set
tied over the camp. AT 10 p. m. the
taps were heard and was .all quiet
along the dark bayou at night"
Doubtless then, when the great still
ness brooded over them, the East
Carroll Guards, looking at the dim,
peaceful meadow-land stretching away
from the camp grounds, recalled incl
dents which they had heard of the late
war. when many a night their fathers
slept under the purpleish blue skies
and felt the cold winds tanning their
cheeks. and thought of naught save
the loved ones at home. the battle inn
pending on the morrow and of that
leader in whom their faith was sublime.
Doubtless the soldiers thought of these
scenes and were proud their ground is
called Camp Lee"
