MASSAGE OR FRICTION.
Its Relations to Health and Beauty-Face
Massage.

Massage.
In truth, there is no greater aid to
beauty than massage 1t not only pre-
serves beauty against the attacks of
time, but it cures many defects that
mar beauty even III youth. 1t prevents
fat accommodating and even reduces it
when accumulated. 1t also gives flesh
to the unduly thin figure. In fact, it is
the chief agent of plastic form and can
not be too much recommended to those
who have lost the 1.-the gracefulness of
youth. Massage also excitas the vitality
OF the skin and makes the joints supple,
says Vogue, authority also for the fol.
lowing:
Massage should always follow the
bath and not precede it, because after
tho bath tho skin is most supple ana
flexible and moro easily absorbs outer
impressions Face massage wards oil
wrinkles better than any cosmetic can
do, and this every woman may do for
herself. The masscuse uses the purest
and best of cold cream in her manipu-
latlons, and after |. certain amount of
rubbing the faco is wiped off and a new
supply rubbed ill., After several appli-
cations tue face is then washed off with
Hungarian or rosowater, and freez-
ing process begun with applications Of
ice, gently administered. The face then
blooms out into the sweetest freshness
after this treatment is ended, and moth
ing can exceed the marked improve.
ment observable i'll all cases where the
masscuse is skillful and thoroughly
mistress of her art
y few hints are necessary for those
who are not within reach of ccmpc-
tent facial masseuse. Dipping tho ends
of the first three fingers into q pot of
cold cream, tho cheeks are rubbed IN
ward toward the eyes and sideways to.
ward tho nose, many times together.
The eyelids are rubbed from the corners
toward the nose. The forehead is rub
bed sideways toward the center and
pressed upward, and downward toward
the eyes, and from the center toward
the temples. The neck, where women
first shbw tho loss of youth, should be
rubbed from back to front. Always rub
the nose downward, the sides of the
nose or nostrils upward. Rub the chin
upward, and the lips from the corners
to the center OF the mouth.
Hard skins ere made softer by being
rubbed with oil; iiabby skins are rem
dercd firmer by being rubbed with alco-
hol pcrfumed with verbena, which is u
great strength giver. Hungarian water,
felslna water and eau dc cologne, how
ever, are equally efficacious and pleas
ant. Perfumed alum water may DO
tried Ill extreme cases of tabbiness, but
the skin should never be allowed TO be-
como so fiabby as to require extreme
measures.

INJUNCTION WRONG.

The instruction complained of was
wrong and calculated to mislead the Jury
IN their deliberations as to the amount
OF the damage plaintiff sustained, and un-
doubtedly did mislead them.
This error is such as to require the
granting of new trial. and renders un-
necessary the discussion of any of the
other reasons assigned, and. regarding
which. as the case has to be retired, l
had better express no opinion.
Rule to show cause why a new trial
should not be granted is hereby made alb
