GOOD-LOOKING GIRLS RE-
New York.
VENICE.


VENICE.
AS soon as the good-looking girl en-
tered the car, the five young men on
the opposite sat began surveying her
with critical eye, and she hadn't yet
made out whether the bald-headed man
with the medical magazine was to be
included in the lot when the conductor
came in for his fare. The girl opened
her portemonnae and began to take
out latch keys, samples of ribbon and
little memoranda in the usual way, and
the five young men smiled, each after
his own particular style. Bald-headed
was out Of it. The girl didn't see any
of the smiles, but she caught on just
the same. There was a nickel all ready
for her fingers, but when one pale
faced young man added giggle to his
smile, the nickel was thust aside for a
two-dollar bill She didn't hand it
over to the conductor as she fished it
out, but, leaning forward, with win
ming smile on her face, she began at the
head of the line and asked:
will you please be so kind as to
change this bill for me?"
It was impossible. A young man with
only dime in his pocket has no show
to bust a bill The next one had
quarter, but he had to decline, and so
it went to No. 5. His hand sought his
pocket as his turn came, but it didn't
bring UP any change. The smiles had
been replaced by sheepish looks, and
they rubbed elbows and trod on each
others feet in trying to look out of the
windows. There was a long minute
CT painful suspense, and then the good
looking girl handed the bill to the con-
ductor. She hadn't a word to say to
the five young men who had started out
in life so gayly, but old bald-headed
had. When all was over, he turned
half around and growled out:
eff I were you fellows. 1 wouldn't
try to be so blamed smart next time"

WASHING
THE FACE IN
SUMNER.

In the summer soap is an important
question because we are for the sake of
personal comfort are compelled to
make more frequent use of it than we
do in winter, when there is no dust or
Precipitation to cause us misery. and no
golfng or rowing or driving or tennis
to make US untidy. The soap We use
is of grave Importance always. but es-
pecially so then. Those who know
anything about the manufacture Of tot
let soap are aware that the natural coll
or of pure soap is white. When it is
of any other shade, it is because color
ing matter has been added TO it. Most
Of the perfumed toilet soaps are espec-
tally injurious to the skin. dangerous
oils being frequently used in giving
them their scent. The effects OF the
oil are very bad on the skin. There are
scores of medicated soaps on the mar
ket recommended to cure the skin of all
imperfections and transform the user
into a being of radiant beauty. These
are all secret preparations which when
analysed are nearly always found to be
common caustic soda soaps cleverly
perfumed, medicated and furnished
with handsome wrappers. Such soaps
should be carefully avoided. The best
soap l have found in years of expert
ence is a pure, first-class, imported
Spanish olive oil soap.
Soap and water used alone on the
face will in time make it dry and yell
low, and my experience and expert
ments have taught me that even with
a pure soap a good cold cream is needed
afterward The woman who values
her complexion will try to get distilled
water. Pure rain water will serve the
purpose, for it contains none of the
mineral matter that ordinary water
takes up from the soil and which is bad
for the skin. On the face no more
water should be applied than can be
taken up On a Turkish toweling wash
cloth, upon which some Of the olive oil
soap has been rubbed. Water of the
same temperature as the body is best.

Before washing the face good face
cream should have been rubbed into
the pores. If these precautions are OBJ
served. she face when washed during
the summer will look fresh and clean
and the skin will feel soft and much
refreshed.
All mechanical appliances such as
massage rollers and face scrubbing or
complexion brushes should be Stunned,
as they are too irritating and have
the effect of oyerstimulating and re-
laxing the muscles, thereby producing
the much dreaded fabhiness which is
now SO frequently seen.

clination toward their style of decora-

Piping should succeed with women
who can afford to pay for the most
careful work and with those who do
their own dressmaking skillfully. 1t is
neat trick to pipe dress so that the
covered cord does not waver in its join
ture of the seam which it closes.
The gray satin cording of the gray
imported gown precisely matched in
color the body Of the dress. Certainly,
should piping come into popularity
again, women will need to consult their
color cards for subtle harmonies or
justifable contrasts. Since piping pre-
viously was in vogue there has been
progress in the art of costume. and the
average demands satisfaction in fem
mime toilet.
For the woman with their arms there
is compromise fashion between the
extremely close-ftting styles. and those
