makes a very nice face wash. The
skin can be heated by spatting it with
the hands. And the water can be al
lowed to dry on the face. Then comes
the creamy bath, and, under it's refin-
| ing influence, the spots begin to fade
off the countenance.
Lemon juice and water are good;
and cucumbers are known the world
over as a face whitener, while straw
| berry juice is the most wonderful
| pinker of the flesh that is known
The belle of to-day splits a cucum-
| laying them on her face. binds them
| in place until her skin is completely
covered with them. She now let's
| them dry on the skin and pretty soon
| she has given her face a bath which
it could obtain in no other way.
The flesh brush is a wonderful aid
! 10 the autumn woman, even to her
whose cuticle is kept at all times IN a
| brisk condition. 1t is used as pinker.
! and for the application of flesh foods
| to the skin. A flesh brush, dipped in
a bran lotion and used upon the neck,
will whiten the skin amazingly, while
the same brush used lightly upon the
cheeks will make them deliciously
pink.
But it is not upon the simple, home
| ly remedies that the woman who has
| been spoiled by the summer winds and
| wIve depends. She calls to her aid
| all the discoveries of science; and of
them all the principal one is cleo
| tricity.
How could Helen of Troy have kept
away her wrinkles without the cleo
! trio wrinkler roller?" asked one wom-
| an of another as the two reclined in
their chairs, each rolling out her own
| wrinkles.
And how did she battle crows feet
and treat the question of superfluous
| hair?" asked the second, stroking
| lip upon which the needle had done
| it's work.
MY sister" said the first. HAD eye
| broWs that met over her eyes. They
gave her a scowling look and no mats
ter how pleasant she felt she always
had to scowl."
What did she do?" asked the sec
ond, glancing at her own brows, which
| were heavy as strips of fur.
Why. she bought an electric needle
outfit and went to work upon her eye
| brows She did the work herself,
sticking few hairs a day. 1t was
easy work. for the needle only pune
lures the skin and is not painful at
all. She kept on until she had round
| ed and arched the browS just to suit
herself and now to-day she is a really
! pretty girl"
The woman who can invest in lit
| tie electrical outfit can treat her own
| wrinkles, can mould her own cheeks,
shape her eyebrows, keep superf1uous
| hairs off her lips and treat her own
moles. The electric apparatus does all
of this.
The face is terribly out of shape in
the fall. One pretty girl says it is
because girls laugh so much in the
summer time. Whatever may be the
cause, the face of pretty girl in the
fall bears very little resemblance to
the face of the same girl as it was
last spring. The cheeks are dropping
and fiabby; the neck is streaked and
the skin is dried and wrinkled as
though it had been parched.
The wrinkled skin is difficult to treat,
for it takes time to get the wrinkles
out of the surface. The skin, in this
case, is like piece of parchment, or
ike crumbled bit of tissue paper; and
to smooth it out you must go at it
precisely as you would go at a piece
of paper if 1t were wrinkled
You would spread out the paper,
working upon it along the lines of the
creases until you had smoothed them
out, completely obliterating them. If
you used plenty of time and care and
patience you could make your piece
of tissue paper almost smooth again.
So with the cuticle You must go
to work upon it, smoothing it out
with the hands. For this purpose, it
is absolutely necessary to use a. lit
tie cold cream, which should be thin
ned until it is of the consistency of
sweet cream. The face should first be
heated very hot with hot cloths; and
them while it is in its heated condi-
ton, the cream should be rubbed in
to it.
The work must all be done with the
finger tips, which must be dipped in
the cream and then applnd to the
face. Do not, in rubbing away the
wringles, follow the lines of the creas es,
but work across them, as though you
were smoothing the wringles out of a
sheet of tissue paper
Rub across and across working
slowly and carefully and letting the
cream sink into the skin. 1t is the
only way to take wrinkles out of the
face by massage.
The cream must dry in the skin. If
washed off it loses half it's efficacy
and the skin soon wrinkles again. The
cream is applied rubbed in with the
finger tips and left upon the face.
This should be done at night and
left on until morning. If the idea
of sleeping with an oily face is in
tolerable, the cream can be applied
in the morning and washed off at night.
Either way is very good, for it makes
/ no difference as long as the cream
sinks into the skin.
The finger tip treatment of wrinkles
and the application of cold cream
with face baths of cream and milk, will
! wholly restore a wrinkled skin, no
matter how much like parchment it
may be.
The woman with the dry, crinkled skin
| inclintd to look white and scaly should
| never go out without a little powder
upon her face, no matter how ortho-
dox she may be in her prejudices. She
must rub very little cold cream in
to her skin and over this she must
apply a little powder, be it ever so
little. The cold cream fills the pores
of the skin and makes the powder
stick
And there is beauty lesson in the
| matter of wearing a veil. The veil
| protects the skin and keeps the dust
from settling into it.
! 1t also is of the greatest assistance
| in keeping away autumn freckles,
which are freckles caused by the wind.
AS the wind beats upon the face the
| freckles come, and the skin is ruined
for weeks.
The fashionable veil can be worn, If
| preferred, but really any thin yelling
will do for it's answers the purpose OF
| protecting the skin. One does not
need heavy VEIL for the dust can be
kept off by thin veil as effectively
as by a thick one.
There are women, professional beau
| ties and stage women, whose complex
ions are their fortunes and for these
! there is a great deal of preparation
necessary before they can go out into
