run OF actresses and singers ana to
preserve their good looks. But this
snouio not surprise anybody, for it is
merely a matter of attention. Any woman
may preserve what beauty she has quite
= wen as any actress on the stage. All
tnat sne need to do is just what the ac-
eress does says an authority on the
skin.
For instance. IL an ordinary woman of
~ should begin now to follow out the
pfactice which has been Adelina PATHS
nabit for years. she will be surprised to
see how rapidly her skin responds to a
little care and attention, and in one
month she will find a marked change in
her appearance.
= course. some skins nave been so
long neglected that they REQUIRE the at
tention of a specialist in skin diseases.
1t your stomach gets out of order, you go
to the doctor; if your eyes hurt you, you
hunt up an oculist at once; but when you
see your skin growing parched and
blotched with pimpies n b~laekheads,
you merely whine and whimper at the
sad fate thai is depriving you of your
beauty, when all the time your skin only
needs a little medicine. or-pity 'twere to
say tia little something to eat.
Madame PATHS treatment applies to
the average ~skinAnamely, that which is
neither very good nor very bad. 1t Will
not cure eczema, but will prevent the
waste which is constantly going on in
the skin of the face. This is what she
does, night and morning, every day of
her life:-
When she rises in the morning she
wrings out her crash wash cloth in tepid
water. rubs on a little pure olive oil
soap. and upon that puts a little rose
cream; then she proceeds to wash her
face and neck, just as any other woman
does. and without consuming any more
time than dozens of Others do.
-She removes the soap from her face
by rinsing the rag in clear. tepid water
and rubbing her face, after which she
wipes it gently with a soft towel and
puts on a little powder. She does not
put water directly on her face, because
that dries UP the natural oils of the
skin.
night, when she ~retires, she washes
her face in the same manner. and in
stead of putting on powder. rubs in a
little cream to bring out the impurities
while she is asleep. She repeats the

the face needs cleansing.
Exposure to the wind Is very bad
for the skin, because it dries up the
natural oil. Even the ordinary air will
do this. That is why the skin of the
body is usually so much softer and
smoother thar that of the face and
hands. For this reason. a little cream
rubbed in from the outside is necessary
to compensate for the waste that is con-
stantly going on.
The fat cells tina oil the skin and the
muscles underneath are connected with
the veins and the sweat glands that lead
up to the surface of the skin. So long
AS these last, and the pores are kept free
from impurities. the skin gets it's needed
supply of oil, and is soft and pliabIe.
THE muscles get nourishment from the
same source. n soon shrivel when de-
prited of it. When the fat cells become
exhausted the supply must be supple
mented from the outside. Indeed, it is
very dangerous to wait until the nat
ura1 oil is gone before beginning to feed
the skin with artificial oils.
THE pores are little mouths that drink
up food as ravenously as a little animal.
The atmosphere. the impurities in water,
the modern mode of living-all these con-
spire to rob the skin of it's nourishment,
and the woman who neglects to furnish
it with additional food runs the risk of
becoming ugly in her youth and positive
~ disfigured in old age"
So
t"The other day a lady told me-" says a
writer, sthat she had made the discovery
that she had been sitting and standing in
correctly all her life. She had lived long
enough to have learned the fact long ago.
She is nearly fifty, quite plump, and felt
convinced that the unbecoming bunch of
fat IN her shoulders and a distressing
tendency to embonpoint were the, direct
results of this unfortunate error. And
we might well be Mortified if it were re-
vealed to US low. many women had sys-
tematicaIly cultivated hopelessly hideeus
figures by this same fault, and in nearly
every case the primary cause is tight,
dragging. uncomfortable clothes.
'sThe aching waist is squeezed by Just
a few more tugs at the corset lace until
the organs are forced out of place, pressed
down and showed up and tortured into
unnatural positions. while the heavy
skirt, haircloth lined and sometimes ridic-
ulously voluminous, drags IN the back
and hips, and the unfortunate, uncom-
Portable wretch who serves as a lay fig
ure is forced to literally ssslump"-yes,
slump is the only word which expresses
it-into an ~ungrateful attitude, with the
abdomen sthurst forward and the back
.Jouf1ded out, while the whole weight of
the body is thrown on the hips, because
she Is absolutely unable to stand any
other way
But the fat woman Will say, How can
we help ft?' She is truly in a terribly bad
position, but it is not hopeless. Exercise
will keep down her flesh to a great extent,
but most women are too incident to apply
this remedy. Even those who possess
slim, trim figures and do not need a corset
any more than a dog needs two tails will
pull the strings It'll they cannot draw a
long breath any more than the sphinx, to
the everlasting danger Of their health and
happiness and the utter destruction of the
symmetry and classical proportions of
that most beautiful of natures creations,
the human form.
"Try a health waist. There are numer-
Gus makes. Among all of them you will
surely be suited. If you are stout. ave a
number of buttons sewed to the bottom
of the waist, and to these fasten all your
