Mrs. Gray said her husband abandoned her on
June a. 1901 without the slightest reason being
given by her for his doing. Since then he had
refused to support her properly Prior to her mar

to be very stylish. and IL a woman's allow

feasible to do, as young woman de-
clared she should this summer, and wear
nothing but white throughout the season.
But the amount of the weekly washing will
be startling If that course is followed. In
the whites there are thick, thin and almost
transparent materials to choose from.
Piques and linens will make serviceable
suits: so will madrases and cheviots For
extremely thin ones, the finest handkerchief

have one decided advantage over colored
ones in that they can be boiled and made

danger of fading out that half the time
they come back from the laundress looking
rather grimy, so are not as serviceable in
the long run as is white.

dots, lines or figures. Is admirable, and
black and white always look cool and fresh

they do not keep their freshness very long,

The Complexion in Spring.

New York Evening Post
beauty specialist advises the use of
warm water only for the face during the
treacherous days of early spring. If a
handful of bran or fine oatmeal or a pinch
of borax is added to the water, it will be
softened and made more velvet-like and
The majority of women find that soap is
unnecessary to the tender cuticle of the
face, which can quite well be kept clean
by other means. A soothing lotion is made
of 45O grammes of orange flower water,
five of borate of soda, twenty-five OF
Glycerine, five of benZoin, three of tincture
of witch hazel, 100 of rose water, two of
boric acid and five drops of essence of
honey. This Is lotion that should be
allowed to dry on the face.
Some women unwisely deluge their faces
with water quite half dozen times during
the day. But girls with very sensitive
skins are advised TO follow the following
plan of cleansing the face. which will be
found quite as efficacious a treatment and
far more beneficial than the other. Make
four or hve pads of absorbent cotton wool
encased in steriliZed gauze, both of which
materials may be bought at a chemists.
Soak one of these pads in fresh cream. or
smear II with good emollent cream, and
rub the face gently and evenly with it.
This little operation repeated four or
five times will rid the face OF all impuri-
ties as thoroughly as If ii had been iaved
in a basin full OF soap and water 1t is a
method that should be used at night before
going TO bed, and after ii all the grease
should be wiped off with a soft clean towel
If the trouble OF preparing pads is too
great, the emollient cream may be smeared
upon the face BY means of the finger tips
y good complexion cream is made OF
thirty-five grammes of spermaceti. fifteen
of white wax, 10 of almond oil, thirty of
triple extract OF roses and one OF heliotrope.
