AUTUMN COMPLEXIONS.
How Is your complexion these days, dear
cousin, and are you brown when you put ON
pink. and yellow when you wear blue? Does
black bring out the dark circles under your
eyes and are you wrinkled when you appear
in white? II 70. dear cousin, It IL the fault
Of your complexion. and you should take IL
in hand at once.
I talked with a complexion specialist the
other day. the one who Is bringing last
years debutantes back into shape for the
winter. She has also in hand some Of the
older ones, and as all are more or less in.
jured by the summers sun, her task 10 no
light one. Some are positively spotted.
She begins. she tells me, at the foundas
tion Of all things. the diet. and recommends
plenty of fruit, indeed, all that the stomach
will take. For breakfast there must be
nothing else. except a cup Of coffee. which,
she declares. does no harm. and for lunch
con there must be fruit. either Jaw or
cooked. and plenty of vegetables.
Dinner is generally taken in public, where
one cannot diet as one would II one were
eating alone, either in ones boudoir or at
ones private table. for one must always re.
member that guests have their rights and
may not care to diet. and then one must
eat everything. :.
LILLIAN RUSSELL'S WAY.
This woman specialist tells me that she
insists upon q very hot bath zach night,
with plenty Of soap. and Q rinse OF with
clear water, he face and head being FIRST
wet with cold water. Finally the face Ii
scrubbed with cold cream and then With
hot water. with . little cold cream rubbed
in. to be left in the skin all night and
washed OF in the morning.
Lillian Russell gave me- her recipe for
cold cream. and I have used II with ex.
cellent results. and given It to several Of
my. girl friends. She tries out'' the pure
mutton fat until she has q cup Of pure
mutton grease or tallow. Into this she
stirs a tablespoonful Of pure almond oil
and two drops Of altar Of rose. Al it
cools she pours It into emptied-out egg
shells. which ave been well sweetsned
with hot water. The shells could b
trimmed with pink ribbon? Gracia. to
match the appointments Of your boudoir.
and could be hung from trat adorable
little electric light which swings like .
pink orchid over your dressing table.
Are you well considered in the matter
Of sleeves this fall? II not. get to work
upon yours at once. Remember that each
gown IS known by its sleeves. and that
Of all sleeves the neatest Is the one that
Is finished with Q strap cufY.
II desired the sleeve can be cut OF as
tho elbow and finished with a strap which
buttons tightly after the sleeve Is on. In
that case you will want undersleeves Of
lace, tight-ntting TO the wrist. but mar.
ing around the hand. The cuff must be
wired to max It stif and to keep It out
nicely. Perhaps you will think 1t q pretty
idea to bind It with satin ribbon to match
your wsist.
Experiment along these lines. and you
will not regret the advice of your dearest
NEW YORK COUSIN.
