Where shine the eternal stars.

(lHAT:

In sprngtime the poets sing of beautiful flowers
and bamy skies. but In point of fact the spring
season seems TO exercise a baneful influence
humanity in general. It Is unusual for
woman who has gore through the winter with good
health and clear skin to find an inexplicabIe crop
Of botches appearing on her face. 1t Is than
probable that these are the protest of nature
against the constant use of powder necessary where
one Is in attendance at social functions. One of
the best and simplest modes of treatment is the
use Of oatmeal bag in bathing The effect IS
cleansing, softenng and nourishng to the skin.

Grace in the use and movements of the hands
is within ones power than many believe. A
young girl whose homey, awkward hands were
the trial of her life in desperation resolved to
remove the awkwardness at least. She saw that
the fingers and thumbs seemed ''aIl angles" so
set herself the task of making instead BY
constant thought she succeeded to a remarkable
degree. and by giving careful attention to the skin
and using cold cream freely she found her hands
wonderfully improved in a year.

IT is one of the first duties OF every woman to
bring herself into as perfect physical harmony as
