For Guilds Bow.

Some man has said that there never
was 4 pretty woman who did not have
n pretty mouth. and that there never
was Il homely woman with a pretty
month. He probably came to this con-
clus;on in winter time. for many a
beauty Is disdSured so as TO be almost
uasightly b. chapped and cracked lips.
And The ex;r r:iiely monumental effect
OF this windy weather trouble is not its
worst feature. Chapped lips are pain
lul and il neglected the constant in
Illumination will ruin the skin OF the
lips and bleach the color seriously
injuring the beauty of the rosebud
mouth
The lips depend for their beauty on
their texture. their coloring and the
purity of their outline. Much injury is
dore to the lips by the habit often I'M
consciously formed. of moistenlng them
when out of doors. and the reprehensi-
BILE trick of biting them to make them
a bright color is TO blame for many a
pair of thickened lips with skins of
leather-like texture. Another deleter-
ions effect is that which is produced by
a veil pulled tightly against the mouth.
This not only assists the lips TO chap,
but may infect them should the veil
be one dyed with n dangerous color
or be dirty. Finally. the cold winds of
winter and spring have much to answer
for as bitter enemies of the beauty of
the lips.
II is worth spending little money on
n good lip salve. for poor ones made
of anything but the purest ingredients
are bad investment. Neither should
glyccrine in any form be used or any
sort of spirit. Boracic acid lip pomade
is an excellent salve II is also most
easily prepared. Take half an ounce of
boracic acid crystals and dissolve them
in enough hot water 10 make a clear
solution. Then melt together four
ounces of the best almond oil. one
ounce of spermaceti. and half an ounce
of white wax. and pour the solution
o: boraCic acid into the result. stirring

ture with a grain or two of harmless
carmine or tincturc of alkauet root
and beat it until it is quite smooth.
Any kind of perfume can be added.
and when the salve is placed in small
jars well covered it is ready for use.

that is necessary to heal the most stub

wear blush purple. while a brunette

may wear dark, rich red. russell
shades. most of the dark brown
shades. cherry pink. rose and cream
color. The good old rule that bids a
woman for the street wear choose the
color of her hair. for house wear the
color of her eyes. and for evening wear
the color of her skin may be borne in
mind. When girl has two or three
different colors in her eyes, as often
happens. if she matches any of them it
