ALL DUE TO HOT MILK.
Transformation it 1ade in the Ap-
 pearance of One Girl.
From tue New orleans Times Democrat.


 you have this summer in all my life, observed a girl in a stunnig Russian blouse to one in duck suit that had seen hard service, as they chanced to meet at a lunch. What have you been dolng to yourself? Your com plexion is as clear and smooth and soft as baby's, and, you kuow, dear, it used to be so sallow and shriveed- looking and rough. And then, too, my girl, seeing q chance for another dig. "you have taken at least ten pounds of flesh on your bones. You could almost venture to turn out in low neck, couldn't you?"
 My neck and arms were considered the prettiest at the hotel where I stopped this summer,' answered Name triumphantly. and owe it all to this pointing to the glass of steam ing milk that the waiter put down in front of her,
 s'You remt nber how wrinkled and sallow my face used to be, because you have just reminded me of it, Ard then, every now and again, great red blotches would appear. that almost made me lose my hope of heaven Then I was so thin-more than that positively bory-that every tune wanted to wear a gown cut low and with elbow sleeves, as my brother says, simply sat down and declined the verb to damn, softly to myself, of course, two or three times. My com plexlon grew worse and my figure became more and more angular. When I had about reached the depths of dis pair along came Parisian and told me the secret of how to grow beauti- full She advised me to begin by drinking four glasses cf hot milk every day, taking one with each meal also to wash my face in hot milk at bedtime. In week felt like anoth- CT woman. My face felt wonderfully refreshed after washing It in hot milk every night, and the skin began to grew very white and smooth. But didn't gain any flesh; so my benefact ress, as called her. advised me to take an egg beaten in hot milk, aud favored with very fine old rum, the first thing when got up in the morn ing, another about II o'clock and an- other about O clock in the afternoon as this drink was the best fattener in the world. 1 did so, and this, with my four glasses of hot milk, put pounds on me in first week"
 ''Do you keep up the treatment still?" asked woman with a skln like antique parchment, anxiously.
 NO" answered the newly beauti- fled girl, graciously. After gained 20 pounds l stopped verything expect bathing my face in hot milk at night and drinking hot milk with my meals. I'm just treating myself to an extra glass now because I've grown so fond of it. Really, loathe the sight of tea and coffee now. When I saw the magical effect of the application of hot milk on my face l knew what was good for the face must be good for the body; so began to give my neck and arms daily hot milk bath. The re- suit more than justified my expecta. tions, and then 1 began to pour little milk into my morning tub. The ef- feet in removing fatigue was most wonderful, aud l get so that l took a bath dashed with milk whenever was tired out"
 ''I wish could take that treatment " said a young girl with complexion like an elderly chorus girls early in the morning, but it is out of the question. Milk and cream both make me bilious and render my complexion even worse than it IS naturally"
 ''Hot milk won't make you bilious, . answered the authority, encouraging ". That's the beauty about it. Peo- pie with whom cold milk does not agree at all can take it hot and grew pretty fat on it, If you don't like it at first a.pinch of salt will make it more pala table, and some say more digestable, but person with any klnd of ram shaclSle digestive apparatus can take hot milk.
