SCIENCE OF THE TOILET.
How the Women of To-Day Manage
to Preserve a Youthful Appear
ance for Decades.

The modern maiden has learned in
an exquisite way the science of the
care of her person; she does not early
acquire wrinkles, neither does she lose
her hair, nor so early have to bear the
signs of advancing years by its turn
ing gray. The secret, for such it is,
of this preservation is one that all
women should know; it surely is more
charming for the world to gaze upon a
fresh youthful face than upon a shriv
eled one, and upon an abundance of
locks than upon too scanty a growth
to even cover the head. Begin the day
with cold or tepid sponge bath, fol-
lowed by a vigorous rubbing with a
rough towel. This starts the circula-
ton into almost a bound and does
much to preserve the plumpness of
face, neck and arms, beside rendering
colds almost impossible. An occasion

Wrinkles develop by lack of supple
ness and plumpness of the skin, and
they may be kept at bay many years
by careful massage. The hair receives
especial attention on the part of the
assiduous maiden, and particular care
is paid to the roots, for one should
know that if they are healthy the
growth will be satisfactory. And she
wears her hair much more loosely
than does her less diligent companion,
for she believes that the air greatly
preserves its growth. Each day the
hair is separated at the roots and the
air allowed to freely circulate through
1t. 1t is serious error to worship the
brush, and treat the scalp in such a
way as to weaken and kill the roots
For victims of the brush it is easy
to point to many men, who daily brush
and brush-the sitter the implement
the better. Badness is the certain
outcome. A fine-toothed comb is like
wise summed as an enemy to the roots
of the hair. In warm weather it is
prudent to wash the hair with a
preparation containing alcohol, which
dries the scalp and renders perspira-
ton less profuse, this unpleasant fea-
ture of the summer affecting the roots
of the hair most alarmingly. Very
oily hair is washed with a shampoo
containing sulphur, while very dry
scalp is treated TO a light application
of cream or lanolin.-Edna S. Wither-
