Soap is not the enemy to the complexion
which many people consider it, says the
New York Times 1t is infinitely better
for the skin than the dirt which will col
lect in the pores after a warm and dusty
day with much wheeling or travelling.
Olive oil soap is always the best for the
face, but it should be thoroughly rinsed
off after using. The hands are better for
bathing the face than a cloth or sponge,
and the motion should be rotary and up
ward, rather than downward. Discretion
can be used with soap. as with other
things, for too much of it will dry the
skin.

time and she. by the pretty blush and
the fetching droop of her head, appeared
to bid him do so. 1t was a glorious day,

house; but as the sun rose over the house
and streamed down on then she rose.
II must go down., she said. He begged
her not to, said the prettiest part of the
run was yet to come, and declared he

| 'Tney are the proof that a woman has

he declared. But she said she must-that
she was a fright with freckles. Then he
| barred the way with his stool.
| DO stay" he begged, IF you object
to freckles, I can tell you a sure cure for

What good viii a prescription do me

He leaned closer. Il am a little of a

There was something in the ardor of

A writer in the New York Sun says OF
the use of women "making-up" their COM
pleXions: Il do not believe that women
should make themselves up for all occa-
sions, and thinking woman will not. In
my opinion, a woman should never make
up in the morning, that is, before noon
Those are the hours when the complexion
is always at its best when the skin should
be allowed to rest. Then she should or
no account make up while travelling. There
are also some occasions on which wo.
man may intensity her makeup without

she has been on some exciting expedition
AS a matter of fact excitement makes
