doesn't say Why. after all, I've no taste
at all, and my judgment isn't worth
continental when it comes to women In
stead, he signs regretfuIly, and if he says
anything at all it is something uncompn-
mentary about his wife. 1t is far more
important for married woman 10 dress
well than single one. Why? Because,
seeing person occasionally and seeing
that person constantly are two very diff
1erent things. There's no art in being
charming in your personal appearance at
luncheon or reception or theater party,
because girl makes a business of doing
mat; but there is a distinct science in be-
ing dainty al breakfast daintier at lunch
con and dajntiest of all in the evening. and
the woman who masters this art must not
only make study of it, but a practice as
We'll Clothes are a great bond and my
advice 10 womankind is to wear good
ones. Now, in case like mine there is
no incentive to dress either well or badly,
Tor were I to get fifty magnificent suits
at home there is no one to praise or find
Iault, and so my apparel always gives
me lonely feeling. Even a spnster of,
say, so years standing, has somebody to
comment on her dress.'
You poor old chap" said the girl, "who
would ever have thought that you missed
WiIe III lldt way wen, IndGS what
you get for not finding one. But I'm CRATE
full to you for speaking about the ethics
of dress to me, and l. m going to make an
EFFORT always TO keep a sort of trousseau
on hand until my dying day. I'd never
have believed that a woman could fiatter
her husbands vanity by wearing swell
clothes"
''You women have a heap to learn yet"
the bachelor remarked.
The Gentlervoman for December has this
to say about the care of the complexion:
Women might teach themselves a good
deal about the care of their skin by re-
calling how the delicate skin of an infant
is cared for. If il chafes or chaps it is
anointed. Always it is soothed after the
bath with a dust of fragrant, harmless
powder and it is carefully protected from
excessive cold, heat or dust.
Another useful lesson may be learned
| from the care bestowed upon their skin
by actresses. The footlights of the thea
ter so exaggerate all shadows it is neces-
sary for the players to use paint and pow
| der lavishly in order to prevent looking
| ghostly. Actresses work hard, travel tire
i somely, keep late hours, and, in addition,
| have their faces covered with cosmetics
| six evenings and two afternoons of the
week. yet there are no women anywhere
with such nice skin as actresses, no elder
| ly women anywhere so well preserved as
| elderly actresses.
Actresses. however, do not have lovely
skin because they use quantities of paints
and powders, etc, but in spite of this fact.
! Nowadays most paints used upon the
| stage are grease paints and most ac-
tresses before applying cosmetics cover
! their faces and necks with thin coating
of cold cream. 1t is applied evenly. allow
| ed 10 remain a few minutes, and the eX-
cess is then wiped off; then the rouge,
| powder, eye-pencilings, ETC., are added.
| The cold cream protects the pores of the
skin, preventing the paints and powders
filing them, and also makes it easier to
remove them at the end of the perform
ance.
Actresses do not wash off their make
up with soap and water. They smear
their face with cold cream generously APP
| piled, let it remain a few minutes, and
wipe it off with an old, soft cloth; 1t brings
the makeup off with ii. Then they dust
on some powder to prevent looking shiny
and oily en- route from the theater. Be
fore going to bed, however, they thorough
ly cleanse the skin with warm water and
soap.
Always, when any face is very dirty, as
it is after being out in dusty day, after
sweeping. ETC., 1T should be cleansed with
cold cream before it is washed with soar
and water. Apply cold cream, and after
a few minutes wipe it off with soft cloth
and be horrihed at the amount of dirt the
cloth shows. Then wash with soap and
warm water. The cold cream loosens and
collects the dust, whereas the application
to a dusty face of soap and water washes
as much dirt into the pores as is washed
off After the skin has been exposed tc
great cold it should be anointed with cold
cream to soothe il before it is washed.
On the Threshold
On the threshold 1 am waiting, and my
heart is palpltating
Underneath my Sunday waistcoat in the
maddest sort of way,
Ard my blood is wildly rushing through
my veins, and l am blushing-
| have come to pop the question to my
darling Madge to-day.
On the threshold 1 am waiting, for the
| hundredth time debating
In what ardent words of pleading | shall
proffer my request.
1 am shivering and qualzing at the risk
I'm undertaking,
And 1 wish that it were over, and my
doubling fears at rest.
On the threshold I am waiting, when some
substance irritating
Dust or influenza microbe borne upor
the autumn breeze,
Which is easterly and bracing, sets me
suddenly grimacing,
And l stiffen all my muscles for her
culean sneeze.
On the threshold 1 am waiting; but &
CHASTITY, desolating,
And most horrible discovery has par
alyzed my mind;
For my fingers, cropping vainly in my
pocket, tell me plainly
ThatIve come away from home and lef
my handkerchief behind. Judy.
