THE SECRET OF GOOD LOOKS,
A Good Complexion VIII Make Person
of Ordinary Features Beautiful.

A Good Complexion VIII Make a Person
of Ordinary Features Beautiful.
"As rule women wash their faces
too frequently" says Euphemia Woods
in How to Have Fine Complexion"
in the Woman's Home Companion. 1T
Is far from being the best way to clean
the face, more especially where rain
water cannot be procured. That may
be used quite frequently, but soap
should not be applied more than three
times week. Pure, imported CASTLE
soap, such as surgeons use, should be
given the preference. Use it at night
only, and with hot water, then rinse
the face with clear, cold water. In the
morning cold water should be used in
preference to hot. If you do not have
rain-water, throw a pinch of powdered
borax into the wash-bowl, but use it
sparingly If your skin is more alkaline
than acid. You can discover this by
wiping your face with litmus-paper
when you are perspiring. Blue litmus-
paper turns red when it touches an
acid, and the red paper turns blue when
exposed to an alkali. On no account
must you use soap on your face except
with rain-water. Soap in hard water
forms scum which, even though quite
invisible, clogs the pores, often causing
pimples and blackheads, and always
giving the skin a faded appearance.
Throw away powders, washes, POM
AIDES, lotions Of every description.
without doubt there are some very
good preparations on the market, but
how are you to know that you are
using the one that best suits your skin?
A skin that is distinctly acid requires
very different preparations from one
that Is alkaline. 1t is not generally
known that it is the action Of the sun
on the natural oils Of the skin that
causes tan and sunburn. II healthy
woman could keep this oil wiped off as
it accumulates she might always have a
pretty complexion, provided SO much
friction did not irritate the skin. One
reason why the skin on the body Is so
much nicer than that on the face Is
that the clothing supplies the friction
necessary to keep the pores Of the skin
from clogging. Finally, II you want a
nice complexion you must take plenty
of sleep in well-ventiIated room, stop
worrying, battle frequently and per-
spire little every day. No lotion is
better than perspiration, but 1t must
not be allowed to dry on the skim"
Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1898-07-29
The Queens Four-Leaved Clovsr.

An amusing story of Queen Hortense,
daughter of the Empress Josephine and
wife Of Louis Bonaparte, king of Hol-
land, has lately been told. After her
exile from Holland, the ex-queen so
journed for time in modest habita-
ton near Constance in Switzerland.
As her health was broken down by her
troubles, her physicians prescribed a
visit to the mountains of Appenzell,
and the ex-queen, accompanied only
by q reader or female companion and
two or three servants, went to rustic
neighborhood in the hills. There she
and her companion found nothing bet
ter to- do than hunt for four-leaved
clover, and became quite excited In the
search. ITO lend the matter interest"
the queen wrote in a letter which has
been brought to light, we would as
sumo that each discovery of four
leaved clover had some pathetic sig
nificauce. The next one, II found SO
and so, meant that we should return
to France; another meant that I was
to receive letter next day from my
son Eouns and so on. In this innocent
pastime we found positively the only
excitement that was open to us in tho
place. But soon it was noised abroad
among the children of the neighbour
hood that we were continually hunting
f0ur-leaved clover, and consequently
these children argued, we must want 1t
very much. Then all the children and
some Of the grown people were out
hunting four-leaved clover and soon
great punches were brought to us, for
which we had to show ourselves very
grateful. In another day our only re-
source for amusement was gone, for
these kind but superservfceable peo-
pie had stripped the neighborhood for
mile around Of all its four-leaved
clover!"
