LAVISH USE OF SOAP
HARMFUL TO THE SKIN

"Colonist," who wrote that thirty years
ago he tried somebody's soap and since
then has used no other, either theirs or
tnybody elses, has moved the London
Lancet to comment onl this interesting
topic: =,
while the suggestion that the liberal
use Of soap is possibly connected with the
falling OFF in physical strength Of certain
classes Of the community of England may
on the face of it appear chimerlcal (says
our contemporary, it is difficult not to
admit that the continued application Of
soap to the skin must rob 1t constantly
Of it's natural OIL On this account soap is
not calculated to make the skin supple or
yelvety, quality which Is impossible
without OIL
.Those who possess delicate complex
ions and who find even the best soap
detrimental to the skin gain relief by the
application Of soothing fat, such as cold
cream"
The Lancet adds that in localities where
CRIME is rare the need for continual Law
age with soap is not great. and declares
that there are not few people who man
age to maintain personal cleanliness with
out the use Of soap at all.
But the Lancet believes that. on the
whole, soap has raised the standard of
public health and that its purity In this
country is calculated to prevent any in
furious effects which might otherwise
arise.
On the other hand, a lady correspondent,
suggests that the irnmoderate use OF soap
d responsible for most of the unpleasant
conplexions to be seen in the large cities.

all, but do say that the quick souse with

wiping with the towel is. when practiced

Is quite as much factor In society
as are her elders The young sclons
- of the great social leaders have their
own little lotteries where fads and
functions are conducted with rigid regard
to all that is correct in every respect. They
have their little luncheon parties, their
matinee parties, their juvenile receptions
and their dancing parties, all Of
which they attend with just as much
zest as tho they were entirely grown up
and launched into the whirl Of the social
world. And In their own little world. a
world In miniature, there are as many joys
and sorrows, as many heart burnings and
triumphs, as many failures and successes,
as obtain among the grown-up personages
and the serious things of life.
OF course, her wardrobe Is an all-absorb-
ing subject to the future society BELLE and
nowadays her needs and requirements her
much attention to detail as Is bestowed
upon the gorgeous costumes of the queens
Of the stage or the ballroom. Not only
are special designs evolved for the young
miss, but whole fashion publications are
devoted to designing continuous stream
Of novelties for her delectation.
And very appropriately, the prime
requisite in all of these is that they shall
look simple and girlish in every detail and
respect. The materials may be-and, for
that matter, really are-far more rich and
elaborate than what her mother wore at
the same age; but same simple, girlish
outline is the one thing that is imperative,
and that every clever mother insists shall
characterize every garment in the ward
robe of her Young daughter.
Dress and the fashions have always
been large factors In woman's life, but the
girl of to-day knows far more of her own
possibilities In the way of good looks and
artistic dressing than her mother did.

NOTES ABOUT WOMEN

The stamp of King Edwards favor has
distinguished Miss Helen Mar Of New
York, 1.-The original American story teller,
above all her numerous iInitators. During
the last two years Miss Mar has appeared
before his majesty oftener than any other
entertainer, with her quaint, original
studies Of the humor native to her own
country. OF late the witty American wo-
man has appeared publicly only In con-
nection with charity affairs patronized by
royalty. The London papers have much to
say about her last successful effort to
amuse Londoners, when on the same pro-
gram were Princess Henry of Pless ESQ
prano), the Countess Valda Gleichen (con-
tralto). and the Earl Of SALISBURY (tenor),
at a concert arranged by the Duchess of
Sutherland.
