ance. I never knew before what brave
creatures women were. l had always
thought that they dreaded pain, but when
I heard of different women having differ
ent beaches, but every one almost entirely
formed of strong acids laid over their
faces and allowed to burn off the skin, |
simply did not know what to think. 1t
seemed such a silly argument to claim that
burning off the skin would cause a new
skin to grow, fine infantile skin! Did
YOU ever have your hand burned? Or,
worse than that did you ever have your
face burned? What followed? a scar, as
matter of course. Nowadays, when you
see woman walking around whose skin
looks drawn and shiny and super-sensi-
tive, you can make up your mind that
she's one of the victims of a much-adver-
tised bleach. OF course, there were some
that were not injurious; that simply did
nothing; and they were the only ones that
deserved praise.
But now, the most foolish-fortunately
not the most injurious of fads-is to the
fore. This is, the skin food. 1t usually
consists of some vile-smelling grease, for
which your complexion is supposed to
yearn. and covered with which you are
expected to sleep the sleep of the just and
the dream of beauty that will eventually

ually hear a communicating, anything
but beautiful woman, get up before a
class of women who ought TO know bet
ter than to waste their money on such
nonsense and tell in language too bad
from a grammatical outlook to print of
the great need that the skin has for food;
Of her discovery of the proper food, and
Of the certainty that this special food will
cause a woman's complexion to become
and remain beautiful forever OF all the
women-that is the well known ones
who have manufactured notorious, they
say famous, toilet preparations-and L
have had the doubtful felicity of seeing a
great many of them-there was only one
who was good looking. And l was al
w4vs morally convinced that she was too
smart to use her own preparations. Why,
these women give the lie to their stories
by their own appearance. If Madame

lady whose skin is like parchment, and on
whose upper lip there is a strong suspic-
Ion of an appendage usually dedicated to
the stronger sex?
Why don't some of the women think
