railing, have no idea how to he beauti-

ugliness until snow dies and a ride i'm the
wind means chap and freckles. You are
not beautiful and you know it. You are
dowdy and ugly. We are stylish and pref

doesn't PANTHEON a domestic woman any

viting to the eyes and your home women
so passable.
u have to SMILE" said She settling back
comfortably and lifting her little feet to
a higher crOss-bar in the railing ito hear
the excuses you make for your plainness.
Excuse me for being. personal In my re-
woman who sits next to you at the table.
Yesterday she bicycled all the morning.
To-day she is red as a blaze, and her
hands are freckled. Tomorrow she will
peel and then she will be spotted for
week. Her hair is all faed out, too. and
she walks tired.
NOW look at mel No. don't take so
humble person as myself But take that
/ famous beauty my friend lillian Rus
/ sell. She Is stopping at aslittle quiet seal
1 shore spot not very far away She has her
| gold bicycle with her and she rides every
| day. You should see her She never
! 'makes-up' a drop off the stage and her
complexion is peaches and cream, and her
hands like milk. The women all around
| her IN the dining room are frights after
a. day in the sun. But Lillian is fair as
| ever. If you tell the other women this they
shrug their shoulders and smile. Behold
me and my Virtuesr they seem to say
But l don't understand why beauty and
domestic virtues can't travel along the
same highroad.
Il will tell you the first reason. It is be-
cause home women are too indolent to
make themselves pretty. Now 1 will take
| that back and say that some are too diff
dent l know some women who have the
| features and hair TO be professional beau
| ties, but who would consider il a waste
| Of time and even a sin to cultivate those
| natural gifts Yet they would like to, if
they knew how they could do it easily.
Since l have taken my friend Lillian
/ for an example, let me tell you how she
/ manages her complexion, after she
| comes in from a ride in the broiling sun.
"She hastens to her room at once, and
! takes off her clothes slowly. Sudden throw
| ing off means exposure to draughts and
| that brings on cold in the head. When
| in a cool white frock she anoints that red
perspiring face with a nice, homemade
cold cream. She spreads it on well and
| let's it stay on. Meanwhile she busies her.
| self around the room, for She is an indus
| trious body.
while the face in getting its cleansing,
| for that is what the cream does for the
| face, the hands are dipped in a little bran
water and held there ten or fifteen min
utes, one at a time. This softens them and
takes out the burn. They. too, are now
| creamed and slipped into gloves.
| After the face cream has been rubbed
off, more is applied and taken off care
| fully. The face is not touched with
water, and not until time to retire sew
| eral hours later, is there the water dip
which freshens the skin and clears the
pores.
Now, 1 know that domestic women
| think this uncleanly. They rush to the
| fawcet twenty times a day and dash
water over their long-suffering complex
ion. But at night they go to bed without
! the full figure dip. And that any woman
who holds her beauty will tell you is
more necessary than the continual rag
| ging Of the skin Of the face.
There is another beautiful woman
| also a friend of mine, whose complexion
| is always referred to with enthusiastic
words. This is Calve, the Carmen of I'M
| dying fame. That woman isn't pretty
or she wouldn't be if she We're living a
| home life. Her complexion would get
! thick and she would have the waist of an
apple woman.
"Calve keeps her complexion by the
process that every olive-hued woman
| should follow-that of scrubbing the face
have seen Calve do it thousand times,
and 1 can describe 1t.
"At night she rubs into her face the
| smallest pinch of a cream. She messages
1t into the skin, and when through there
/ is no tell-tale grease left. In the morning
she leans over a basin of hot water and.
with plenty of the finest soap, she fathers
| her face as though under a BARRIERS hand
| The lather she let's stand for a minute to
| reach the innermost pores.
with basin after basin Of hot water
! she takes off the soap, and when the face
| is clear again she picks up a small soft
| 'scrubbing brush kept for the face and
| briskly scours the skin until it is ruddv
and clear. A dash of cold water hardens
the surface again, and by breakfast
time Calves face is the clear, rudy olive
| so much admired. Try this yourself if
your face is dull and muddy. You can do
