men is apt to get divided into two
classes-the women who make a fetch
of their compilations and the women
who do not try to make the best of
the natural gifts that nature has be-
slowed upon them.
Without entering on the vast subject
of the value of relative washes or
tonics for the skin, l wish to give a
few hygienic hints which may :, be
found of service to those who have
the womanly instinct of wishing to
make the best OF the beauty and
health that Providence has given
them.
Sleep, says the London Telegraph, IS
one of the great preservers OF youth,
Eight hours of regular sleep at night
and a short nap during the day VIII
do much to keep the face free from
wrinkles. Always sleep with the bed
room window open a few inches at
the top, both in summer and winter.
A daily morning bath, tepid in winter
and cold in summer, with a brisk rub
! to follow, will be found to keep the
skin fresh and clear.
AT least a couple Of hours must be
spent in the open air either in walk
ing, bicycling, or playing games, as
circumstances permit.
All tight clothing must be avoided,
as it disturbs the circulation, and is
often the cause of enlarged veins and
red noses.
The effect of diet on the skin is of
the utmost Importance, and man der
matologists have made careful
study of this aspect of the question.
Abstention from all rich food and
stimulants has been tried with sue
cess. A great lady, who was famous
even in her old age for her beautifully
clear complexion and freedom from
l. rr..a
the secret of her youthful looks. The
answer was very simple, Abstinence
had been the rule of her life. No tea,
coffee, or stimulant Of any kind; in
stead of taking animal food, try some
boiled fish, or a couple of eggs every
day. Drink lemonade or water. eat APP
| pies, grapes, and figs regularly. Take
the raw juice of lemon every other
day.
Never fail to walk several miles per
day Battle frequently in almost cold
water Above all, never let anything
have the power to worry you, but al
ways try to remain calm and cheer
full.
This excellent advice. if possible to
follow, is worthy of a trial. | can
| only offer 1t to my readers with the
| assurance that it has proved success
| full, and has helped in more than one
| case to preserve youth and beauty. 1t
| is needless to add that this goes a
| long way to create happiness.
Perhaps there is too much familiar
ity in domestic life. The right to soli-
tude is not justly considered in the
contract between the partners. And
the dignity of the individual is lost
sight of in maintaining the rights of
the firm.
! The woman who keeps mans love
must keep his interest and curiosity
alive concerning her. lie must not
know that she is going to be in GER
tain place in a familiar gown and with
an unfailing smile every day at one
fixed and unalterable time. He must
not be sure of anything in the world
about her, but her truth and good
ness, and he will treat her at their
golden wedding festival with the same
courtesy that he showed her as a
bride.
A little more knocking at the doors
i'm the house of life: a little more re-
serve between married people, would
preserve to the end the charm and del
icacy of the courtship.
