The BEAUTY TREATMENT.
How Famous Women Gain and Retain
Good Looks.
Some one who processes to know,
says that Lady Randolph Churchill
never "makes up" at all, but she keeps
her youth by means of daily lotions
used in the right way. She is one of
those women who are always exquisite
ly groomed. Her face is clean, abso-
lutely 80, without trace of powder or
paint upon it. 1t is fresh face and a
lovely face, although her complexion
is what you might call olive.
This is the way Lady Randolph
Churchill keeps her fresh complexion:
Every night when she goes to bed she
rubs bit of grease into her face, using
sometimes preparation of tallow and
sometimes plain vaseline. She rubs it
we'll into her forehead, for this is
where the wrinkles begin to show, and
she takes care that it is massed into
every crease and fold of her neck. In
the morning she washes it off with
hot water and then dashes her face
with cold. By this simple means she
keeps her natural beauty always per-
feet.
"There are other beautiful American
woman of title who hold their own af-
ter years before the public. One of
these is Lady William Beresford, who
is one Of the most charming of wo-
men. As the Duchess of Marlbor-
ough, she was the handsomest woman
in England, and as Mrs. Hammersley,
she was the prettiest matron in Amer
ica."
"Tbe trouble with Lady William
Beresford is her tendency to embon-
point. She is inclined to get little
full round the hips and round the
throat. The former trouble she mana
ages by special course. The latter
she keeps down by beauty treatment.
"This beauty treatment is one that
was brought to London by maid of
the Princess of Wales. The princess
told the process to several of her
friends. 1t is the throat massage cop-
Quoted on scientific principles. The
throat is exercised with the hands
until it feel strong and firm. Three
or four slaps upon the neck will show
what this means. 1t is then warmed
by laying on hot wash cloths until it
feels delicate to the hand. Now, into
this warm surface there is rubbed lit
tie cold cream, which is carefully spat-
tered in until no trace of it remains.
The throat is then in "preparation."
1t can be lightly powdered or dressed
for evening, and it will not be found
other than cool and comfortable.
"The hair of American women is
something that attracts universal at
tention in London, because in England
the women have scanty locks. Spread
them out as they may, they never
appear beautiful or glossy, but the
Americans have way of making the
hair shine or bloom as it is some
times called.
"The Duchess of Craven has the
most blooming hair in London, 1t is
said that she keeps it so by rarely
shampooing it. Each morning her
glossy locks are spread over the back
of chair and shaken by maid until
each hair stands out separate from the
others. A brush is then applied until
the hair is glossy, and, finally, when it
is done up, it shines like the sun.
"Mrs. James Brown Potter though
not a titled American woman, has
marvellous hair, made so by treatment.
She shampoos it constantly until it al
ways stands out from the head like an
aureole. She does it up without a
Suspicion of curl or wave, yet it has
the appearance of being very elabo-
rately dressed. 1t lies in loose natu-
raj coils upon the head.
"The young Duchess of Marlbor-
ough has a forehead that is perfectly
shaped. Its oval has never been
equa'ed. This is not a natural oval,
but a cultivated one, and was man
aged fer her by the hairdresser of a
New York establishment where she
at one time attended school. This
hairdresser cultivates the oval of the
forehead, and was so successful in
young Miss Vanderbilt's case that she
has since tried it upon many of her
patients. 1t consists in training the
curves of the hair. Most people have
over the forehead the most distressing
points, which extend far back. Upon
these bald places little of the best
hair restorer is rubbed daily until the
hair begins to grow there. But in the
middle of the forehead, where it grows
down to a point, the hair is killed.
This is done by a vigorous brushing,
and, when finally all has disappeared
encept a few struggling hairs, these
