FOG TO CURE ALL
COMPLEXION ILLS

There is every prospect that in a
short time American women will be
rushing over to England in the win
ter for the fog cure. The impress
sion got abroad last summer that the
sea fog is good for the complexion.
Somebody who was supposed to know
gave the fog of the island as the rea-
son why English girls have such
good compilations. A number of
American girls who spend the sum
mer where sea fogs do most abound
on the other side decided to remain
through the winter to try their good
effect Indeed, Americans have gone
quite mad on the subject
The sea fog was also recommended
as cure for tan and freckles. Girls
who were suffering from painfully
tanned skin were recommended to
give up glycerine and creams AMI
go to a place where there was a con-
tinual fog They did and believed
the fog renovated their compilations
as nothing else possibly could have
done.
AS an outcome of the new fad
there will, in all probability, be SAM
tariums where fog baths, made %
order, will be supplied along with
These, of course, will be for the girls
who do not want to spend all their
time on the other side. They can
devote part of each day to the fog
bath and give the remainder of their
time over to the duties of society.
