it contains Get the druggist to give you
two ounces of oil of sweet almonds, four
drops Of oil of bitter almonds, one table
spoonful of camphor water and four ounces
of white wax Put this in dish set in q
basin of boiling water and stir until the
wax is melted Add one-fourth OF tea
spoonful of salt, then beat it until it be-
comes cold 1t will take about anShour
and should be smooth like salve. If not
beaten it has a grain and is not so good.
Sponge eff the face with clear, warm
water, then apply this oil, rubbing 1t in
with the tips of the fingers, then with q
moderately coarse towel proceed to rub 1t
of. If you do it hard enough the towel
win be quite black. This oil may be used
ct any time, but 1t is better to use 1t at
night, following with the hot water, with
out soap This cleaning oil does what the
soap cannCt do.-Euphemia Woods In

Cut and Material OF the Newest Elaborate
Petticoats.
In Paris a sort of necktie which goes by
the name of Spanish cravat is worn, but
patriotic American women will hardly
adopt IL, at least under that title It is
passed twice around the neck and tied in
front with loose rather long ends and is
seen not only with shirt waists, but even
with more pretentious bodices.
Any decided change in the cut of skirts
means a corresponding change in the cut
of petticoats, as the hang of the gown is
largely influenced by the clothing under
meath. Petticoats are now cut much like
the outside skirt-that is, they are very
fat and tight around the top, but from
the knee down they expand suddenly and
are finished byflounces cut zen forme,
ruohes, plaitings and all sorts of fluffy ar
