So many of the letters I have received
during the last week, says Masseuse N
the Philadelphia Press" have asked
about the use OF. creams on oily skins
also the danger of hair growth by too
plentiful a supply of cream.
MANY have also asked about soaps on
the face. and I do not mind putting my
self on record as saying that soap -
rarely necessary to an adult skin, ana
is never as constantly necessary, as
thousands of women seem to think 1t.
ore other question l want to answer
here-that is, about the movement used
In massaging the face. The correspond
ents ask if the rotary movement IS useo
on the forehead. 1t is. When there are
wrinkles there the movement is men
across the wrinkies-as | advised IN a
former article. But both motions are
needed and do not interfere with each
other.
Many skins are inclined to this grown
at the mere suggestion of
might say. A woman win plaster her race
with cold cream or v~aseline at night. let
1t remain on twelve hours, then say she
can't use cream for it causes hair.

woman is confident her skin isn't OF tnat

The cleansing cream, which is used De
fore the steaming. all comes off in the
moisture, hut the cream used for mas
sage should be very carefully wiped OIL
after using whenever one is afraid OF
hair. This gives the skin the good OF
the massage, but takes away from it the
hair producing ingredient. Again, when
a woman finds that hair grows easily
from the application, she should be very
sparing with the cream; use only so much
as will enable her to manipulate the skin,
and be careful even to rub off that little

istered. An oily skin is produced from
poor circulation. The sebaceous glands
are not properly working, and too much
of the oil needed by the system to make
things run smoothly is being thrown to
the surface
Proper massage which induces a
strong. systematic circulation and eXer-
else of the glands tends to decrease this
oiliness on the cuticle.
BY and by the skin becomes normally
greasy and the amount of cream may be
Increased. If a woman would only stop
washing her face with water every time
it appears oily she would be more bene-
fitted; this bathing is purely a temporary
relief. If she would sit down and mas

than anything else she may do and also

Their are skins, I own. that are very
wiIful and hard to master about their
propensity to be oily, and if a woman
finds that~such is the case she may
sponge her face with peroxide Of hydro
gen-a good solution.
This is not harmful and is most salts
factory. She, should be careful in using
it, for it is expensive. Just wet a little
sponge at the end of a cloth ut The
mouth of the bottle, cork the bottle
quickly and rub the face well. Don't Go
this more than twice a week, and if it
stings try mixing it with a little water
The result will not be so beneficial. but
the treatment MAJ be more pleasant.
Persons often say of massage that it is
applied to evils directly opposed to each
other, it makes a fat person thin, a thin
person Eat; it creates oil in a dry skin
and takes away oil from a greasy skin.
The whole secret lies in the fact that
massage. properly done, gives to muscles
and glands the healthy. normal action
for which they were created; therefore,
evils of opposing nature may be cured
by the same treatment. Whatever isn't
normal is made SO.
Perfect circulation is the great secret
of health and wholesomeness.
This massage gives.

The window should be made quite a
decorative feature in a room, not simply
left. as it too often seems to be, to the
tender mercies of a pair of muslin or
thick curtains allowed to hang almost as
they please on either side.
True. the ordinary sash window which
is found in the majority of houses does
not seem to lend itself in any way to deco
rative treatment; still there are ways and
means by which even this seemingly hope
less structure may be converted into eff
fective shape if not into absolute pictur-
escueness.
An attractive treatment for the window
is to rave the frame taken entirely out
and substitute a loaded glass easement
opening outwards in the centre: but this
naturally is an extensive change. and par
takes more of a structural alteration,
which should hardly be undertaken except
on freehold property. Much can be Ions
in the way of Improvement without alter
ing the glass, by the skilful manipulation
Of draperies and the arrangement of a
pretty window seat.
The bow window requires a little care
in draping. and should never be cut off
from the room by having a straight cur
tain pole fixed across it. The pole should
be shaped to the window, and the curtains
fixed near to the glass. with a pair Of
heavy handsome ones at the Sides. 4
window seat will also be found a .ielpful
addition or a large Chesterfield may find
a place in the recess with very good eff
feet.
With thel long French window there can
be no difficulty. as its only requirement is
a short festoon drapery at the top, VITA
a nice pair of side curtains: but the
