lures. They are always ready to listen. but
1t is difficult to arouse their feelings They
rarely have good memories; they forget
easily. are procrastinators and bad at keep
ing appointments. Coarse hair denotes OBJ
stinacy. 1t must be borne in mind that
there is a great difference between coarse

choly disposition; waVy or curling and
thick hair shows force of character and
certain ardor in love matters.

portion being one drachm, which Is about
a teaspoonful, TO two quarts of water. or a
bath bag may be made. This contains soap
shavings, powdered borax and bran. Put
IN a muslin bag and throw into the bath
before using. Do not battle in too cold
water For roughness OF the skin Of arms
and limbs apply daily glycerine, rose water
and acetic acid. one part gIycerine to &hree
parts rose water and one drachm acetie
acid
The itching of the face Of which you
complain may be caused by Indigestion: APP
ply the following lotion nightly: Elder
flower water, eight ounces; glycerine. one
ounce. and lemon juice. one drachm. Avoid
rich foods hot tea and coffee and confne
the diet to fruit and vegetables and beef
and mutton.
For thin hair which comes out when
combed, brush daily, brushing the scalp

Do not use soap on the hair, nor too
many hairpins, curl the hair with
tongS or hot irons. The diet has much to

nothing but hair dye, which l cannot rec
ommend. Hair often grows darker as one
grows older; perhaps this may be the case
with you.
For harsh. dry skin, do not wash your
face oftener than twice a day; if it needs
cleansing, wipe off with cold cream. Ev cry
other night massage the face with this
emollient: One-fourth pound OF lanol' ne
two ounces oil of sweet almonds, one
ounce tincture of benzoin. The lanolne
and oil should be thoroughly mixed by
rubbing with a spoon, adding the oil a lit
tie at a time, and then the benzoin stirred
in. The bags under your eyes are perhaps
caused by too little sleep. Do you get

before midnight.
If you are thin and anaemic you need
cod liver oil and iron. These may put a
touch of springtfme in your cheeks. Ex-
ercse in the open air is also necessary
Some violent exercise which brings the
blood to the surface of the cheeks will give

is splendid tonic.
10 make your hands white whenever
you wash them, use corn meal as well as
soap, and after drying rub on little gly-
cerine and rose water, the proportion, one
part of former to two of latter: at night also
use the same lotion, and wear gloves: &C.
casionally during the day hold the hands
upright. Read former beauty article on
hand rotation.
If the soles of your feet are callous, bind
absorbent cotton or ordinary cotton wool
on the rect, Dy means narrow STRIPS or
cloth, which are held in place by pin. or
by sewing, and then the stockings are
drawn on. This cotton must be worn all
day and every day, and probably for two
months at least. Although there is re-
lief at once, a cure does not follow as
speedily, but it is certain. Twice or thrice
a week at night massage the soes of the
feet. with good cold cream, rubbing it
in thoroughly. Also, after the usual foot
bath rub the feet with alcohol, bay rum
or spirits of camphor
