Possibilities of Re,uvenntion.

When Mrs. Fin dc Steele goes into
Lenten retreat, according to n writer
i'll the New York Tribune, it does not
always mean ritualism, though it may
be penancc. In word, she may retire
III order to have her epidermis removed.
Says the authority referred to:
1t will take several weeks for the
new skin to grow. This removing of the
outer cuticle, whereon are generally the
blemishes in the way of freckles and
brown patches, as we'll as the wrinkles
and lines of age, is now of common oc-
currenco. y certain acid is applied with
electricity which entirely removes the
upper skin without injuring the under
or twin one, over which new skin rap
Idly forms. This new skin, protected by
a mask made for the purpose, is, it is
claimed, deposited smooth and spotless,
and when the process is entirely com
plcted the patient is, as it were, made
over new, with a skin free from lisfig-
urements of all kinds and charmingly
youthful i'll appearance The difference
of color lies i'll the deep, newly formed
layers of the cuticle, which is formed
by a secretion that spreads over the
true skin and which is exuded, i'll the
shape of thin, transparent fluid, by
the blood vessels Of the cults vera or
true skin, and thus distributed in thin
layer over the surface, This dries and
another layer is formed, and so ON. Tho
outside layer breaks up into tiny scales,
which are removed by washing, contact
with the air, etc. The waste is contin-
ually being supplied by the exuding fluid
underneath. AS this fluid comes from
the true permanent skin, the coloring
matter is as nature ordains and cannot
be changed, but the effect of disease
which has been cured, All accidental
birthmark, the wear and tear of life
showing itself in wrinkles, and sun
blotchcs, commonly called freckles-all
these, it is said, may be done away WITH
and every woman may DO youthful
looking until she dies if she will only
undergo the trouble necessary.
