ID EAUTY Is the sterilization of wo-
IL man. also their greatest desire.
The glorihcatlon of beauty Is physical
purity, or in plain words cleanliness.
A woman's gospel should be a clean
and wholesome body. OF all baths. the
milk bath comes first 1t is not neces-
sarily an expensive luxury for two
quarts are ample for sponge bath,
and the result IS so pleasing that baths
of milk merit the serious attention OF
every maid and matron who covets a
skin nike velvet to the touch" II
used habltually. milk gives the skin a
peculiar softness and freshness un-
equalled by anything else, and the
sensation after a milk bath is extreme
ly agreeable and exhilaratlng.
Next to milk the most gratifying
beauty bath is tepid GO 10 75 degree
FahrenhelD rain water. lt renders
the skin clean. odorless, soft, smooth
and transparent, and preserves health
youth, and beauty.
A cold bath is an excellent invigor-
ator and nerve bracer but Is unsuited
to the feminine constitution, and
neither cleanses the skin TO any extent
nor benefits Il otherwise. it should
never be used. even by a very robust
woman. except by permission OF hei
physician. and must be avoided entirely
by one who Is the least bit delicate.
Sea bathing is an unrivalled tonic fol
the geHeral system, and, by increasing
the activity of the circulation. improves
the color. but eventually will coarseI
the skin. This is verified by the fac
that those who live near the sea ma!
possess excellent color. but rarely hav
fine or transparent skins.
Hot baths are weakening. and SHOULD

SUB WAS PLAIN WITH HIN
Aunt Sally Gave the Minister Something 10
Think About

Two women in the early part of the
last century lived in Virginia. They
were noted for their common sense,
and many Of their sprightly sayings
are quoted and enjoyed to this day.
They were both Methodists. and their
house was a place of resort for the
clergy of that denomination. OF one
of the women, known as Aunt Sally,
the following story is told:
She had a black silk dress which she
was accustomed to slip on when she
attended church. 1t seems that once,
while conference was being held near
her house, a Methodist minister who
had enjoyed her hospitality and was
saying goodby yentured to remon-
strate against her use Of costly APP
parel.
"Well. Aunt Sally" said he. "you
have been very kind 10 me and my
wife curing our stay at your house,
and we appreciate your kindness. We
shall never forget it. But. my dear
sister, before parting with you / must
say that IT has troubled my wife and
Uilhtll very muNh ~ nAH ebl a ntA-
otee to the fashion Of the world.
notice with pain that you wear your
silk dress every day TO church, con
trary to the rules Of our order, and l
hope that hereafter you will refrain
from such a display of worldly mind
edness. l also hope you will pardon
mo for calling your attention TO it."
"My dear brother" said Aunt Sally.
'T did not know that my plain black
silk was troubling anybody 1t hangs
up there behind the door, and as it
needs no washing it's always ready to
slip on when company comes or when
/ go to church, and / find it very
handy.
'But. my dear brother since you
have been plain with me | must be
plain with you. Since you and your
wife have been staying here l and my
cook have some days had to stay at
home and be absent from church be-
cause we were doing up the white
dresses OF your wife that she might
look well at the conference. Pardon
me for explaining. and when you and
your wife come this way call again.

The best OF those who Offer is all a
woman can get now, although she may
be worthy OF the best Of all that is go
ing.
Proposing would have two effects.
First. many women might get hus-
bands who get none now, and, secondly,
many women who get husbands now
might get better or more suitable ones
if allowed to propose. So by all means,
let women propose.
The three steps or stages in the re-
lationship of the sexes correspond ex-
actly with the progress of politics and
civil government throughout the world
AT first people were bought and sold
with the land they occupied, without
their consent at all. The common peo-
pie were not consulted about eithel
business or politics.
But in the course of time It becam,
fashionable for rulers TO obtain tn,
consent of the people to whatever legis
lation they proposed. This was tn
second step or stage in political de
velopment.
The third stage is that which we Sc
in our day. The common people no1
exercise the privilege of proposing leg
! islation. as we'll as consenting to tn
acts and suggestions Of the government
Proposing is the next thing to con
senting. and one follows the other a
naturally as day follows night.

l. whole body TO keep Il strong
and well simply by breathing proper
ly. says an authority on the subject
Children should be taught to breathe
and to get into the habit OF flling the
whole lung space at each inhalation
and Of emptylng II completely at each
.exhalation. There Is no better way OF
|getting TO sleep soon after going to bed
than by breathing properly. Push
away the pillow and lie fiat upon the
back, with the muscles relaxed. Slow
" draw in the deepest breath possible
hold IL for four seconds. then slowly
expel II until the chest and abdomen

AS TO MARRIAGE PROPOSALS

All over the world. for long time.
women were bought and sold, and are
still bought and sold in some coun-
tries. Finally 1t became customary, In
the more civilized states Of society. for
men wanting wives to obtain their con-
sent This gave rise to the custom of
proposing. which has been mainly con-
fined TO the men. Under the former
system the consent of the woman was
not needed at all.
This step in itself was a radical
change, and a great advance in favor
of the women. But the advance is not
going to stop here The right to pro
pose is the next move that will be made
in favor of women. Since woman's
consent is required in marriage, heI
right to propose can hardly be ques-
toned.
What is right is best for both sides.
and in the matter Of marrigae no one
can deny that one sex is as much in
terested as the other. Marriage is like
partnership, and in all partnership:
proposals may and do come from botf
sides.
Custom has always been a great bar
rior to progress, for human nature Il
such that most people hesitate to leav'
tine, beaten track, however crooked o.
uneven it may be.
Proposing would give women a bet
ter chance to get men of their choice

While Enraute

When travelling q thin tissue veil Is
a great protection against dust, Gin
ders and all forms OF floating impurfty
which might lodge in the pores. After
a long, dusty ride. a trip by rail or an
outing on the wheel. the temptation
TO plunge the hot. dusty face in cold
water is often irresistible. Ii is
trap set for ignorance. Nothing could
be more disastrous and less cleansing
TO the skin. II is provocative Of black
heads, for IL fixes all the accumulated
dirt in the pores Of the skin.
The dust should first be loosened by
the applicatin of a cold cream well
rubbed into the pores. The water for
the face bath should be soft. Rain.
boiled or distilled water is the best.
Next to that is water softened by the
addition OF a pinch Of pure borax, Just
enough to make the water slippery.
The temperature of the water should
be decidedly warm. A flannel wash
cloth may be used in connection with
a pure. bland soap TO remove the cream
and all accumulations from the pores.
The face should then be rinsed in soft.
cool water and then in cold TO contract
the pores. make the skin firm and pro-
mote circulation.
II the face Is sunburned or the skin
feels dry, a little rose cream. the for
mula for which has been given. may
now be rubbed in and the surplus wiped
on with bit Of soft cambria. A little
pure, harmless face powder may then
be added with refreshing and beautify-
ing effect Powder used in this way
lwill DO no harm, as it cannot enter the
lrcres. An powder should be washed
out OF the skin at night.
