How to Wash Your Face.

Telling girls "How to Be Pretty Though
Plain" Mrs. Humphry, in The Ladies'
Home Journal, guarantees any girl a good
complexion who will wash her face every
night and morning and twice a day besides
according to her directions: 1.-THE water
must not be quite cold in winter, and
soap should be used but once a day. The
fingers are better h any sponge or glove
or flannel, and they should he used as the
masseuse uses hers, pressing them firmly
but gently into the skin and passing them
two OF three times over every inch of the
face. More particular pains should be de-
voted to the corners, where dust is always
liable to lodge-around the eyes, nose and
mouth. If a washcloth is used, it should
be Of the softest and finest, and plenty Of
water should be applied after the soap so
as to wash it all away.
1.-THE drying process should be equally
thorough and effectual, a hurried rub
opening the way to all sorts of roughnesses
and chappings. Not one girl in 20 knows
how to wash her face, and that is the rea-
son why massage aourishes. It thorough
ly cleanses."

Care OF the Piano.

It takes considerable care to keep a piano
In good condition, but If the work is done
a little at a time one does really not mina
it. Occasionally the wires should be gem
tly rubbed with a bit of channels skin or
flannel cloth; a piece of soft muslin should
be passed over the sounding board by
means of a stout knitting needle, which
should be used to slip it between the wires,
thus taking off all the dust. Always keep
camphor inside the piano case to serve as
a means of protection against moths. Do
not let tho piano stand too close to q fire
It should be in q room of even teinpera-
ture and should be opened for a short time
each day, when not frequently in use. Do
use polish on a case of your piano.
When a sort of bloom appears upon it or
it seems to look dingy, wash it with the
finest toilet soap in lukewarm water, a
little at a time, as you would wash a ba-
by's face. Use a soft cloth, work upon a
space not larger than your hand, rinse it
off with clear water and rub it well with
. clean polishing cloths-AAon.

STRANGE o v K E
Pledges of Affection Instead of EN-
EaEement Rings.

A European lady Of fashion, recently
betrothed to a wealthy American, refused
an engagement ring worth So, 500, and to
| plight their affection insisted on having q
| band tattooed round her arm, a similar
one being punctured ON the left arm of
her fiance. This band was the special
work of a famous artist, the design being
a delicate one of love locked hearts and
fairy scrolls worked in delightful shades
of mauve and blue, the initials of belle
and beau forming d sort of medallion in
front.
A sentimental gentleman requested his
| fiancee to suffer the pain of having a small
heart punctured on the left wrist, this in
delible token of love being hidden from
the common gaze by a thickly jeweled
bracelet. To cement their attachment he
wore a similar bracelet, under which were
tattooed a heart and the pet name of his
charmer.
Tattooed designs do not appeal to all
who disregard the ordinary tokens of en-
gagement. One lady of title during her
courtship days wore a unique watch chain
formed of tho hair Of her lover. Tiny
links of gold were introduced at intervals,
and a massive emerald served the place of
an ordinary pendant, the watch being jew
eled in Cupid designs.
Many continental gentlemen wear watch
or key chains fashioned from the tresses of
their swe ethearts. One romantic beau
keeps his fiancee in sweet remembrance
by sporting a lengthy hair chain which
winds round and round his neck many
times before being finally introduced to
the. waistcoat pocket. A wealthy German
wears a massive ring formed of gold bands
and strands of his adored ones hair, the
latter owning a similar band designed to
fit the wrist instead of the finger.
Silver buckles for wear on evening shoes
were chosen by another girl in place Of an
engagement ring. Rather absurd was the
notion of a damsel for whom rings offered
no attraction. A diamond of exceptional
brilliancy was carefully set between the
two front upper teeth, her fiance submit
ting himself to similar treatment. After
the marriage the diamonds and teeth were
extracted, artificial molars being substi-
tuted.
One of the most peculiar ideas was orig
mated by the fancee of a well known ac-
tor. A slight accident to the left hand re-
suited in the loss of the nail of the third
finger, and nothing whatever would In
duce it to grow. Therefore the disfigured
member was provided with a gold nail, on
which were artistically engraved the in
tertwined initials of giver and wearer.
This peculiar ornament was chosen in
place of the orthodox ring.
Bracelets provided with miniature locks
are frequently chosen as love badges.
These are made with keys for the use of
gallant knights, who secure the bands
round the fair wrists of their ladies and
ride away with the tiny instruments on
their watch chains. For ecially intri-
cate locks and keys huge amounts are
sometimes paid, a bracelet thus provided
costing a wealthy Austrian beau nearly
81, 200. OF course the wristlet was beau
tifully jeweled.
