ford to give the time that complexion
specialists declare essential to the
preservation OF beauty.
The benefit to the skin must be
wrought from within outward, net
from without alone. That is, the body
must be kept in good working order
by vigorous exercise and proper food
and then the foundation will be laid
for good complexion, Not all the
external applications in the world
will help without these fundamentals.
But when these are secured. there
are other things TO be done to pre-
serve the complexion in order to make
the face attractiVe.
In the first place. the face must be
kept clean. Not only by mere wash
ing With water and cloth even by
the use of soap and water, but by
something more thorough than these.
The surface soil may be taken from
the skin by ordinary washing. but
to set the dust from the pores a more
radical course must be followed. An
unguent must be selected that will
soften the skin and coax the dirt from
it's interstices. Too much care can
not be given to the selection of the
cream or skin food or whatever is
used for this purpose. )
In order to get the best result for
the face, it should be cleansed at
bedtime. First it should be washed
with ii soft cloth dipped in warm
water and rubbed on g. good soap.
or dipped in almond meal. To some
skins the latter is unsuited and the
owners would do we'll to confine them
selves to a good soap. A sponge
should not be used for the face, pleas
ant as is the touch of it. The best
judges say it is impossible to keep the
sponge entirely clean. whereas the
cloth can be made anti-septic. In
washing or in wiping stroke the face
upwards.
Nowcomes the cold cream. A little
should be taken on the finger tips and
rubbed into the skin, with outward
and upward strokes from the middle
of the face. The rubbing should no
be too hard and yet there should BIZ
enough pressure brought to produce
a glow and to stimulate the circula
ton. Each part of the face should bt
treated in detail. The forehead
should be stroked from the middle to-
wards the temples and up towards the
hair. The temples should be rubbed
and the corners about the eyes where
the first fine wrinkles display them
selves should receive special attention
All around the eyes the flesh should b.
massaged and the cold cream rubbed
in thoroly. The lower part of tn,
face, the skin about the lips and wher,
the smile or the droop Of the mouth

And then his thoughts flew to Iris.
Happen what might, her bright pic

Suppose. egg-hunting, she had stum-
bled across this valley of death! How
could he hope to keep 1t hidden from
her? Was not the CHASTITY knowledge
better than the horror of a chance
ramble thru the wood and the shock
Of discovery, nay, indeed, the risk of a
catastrophe?
He was a man who relieved his sur

INDUCED in it now and felt better. He
rushed back thru the trees until he
caught sight of Iris industriously
kneading the sage pith in one of those
NOSE useful dishcovers.
He called to her, led her wondering
to the track, and pointed out the fatal
quarry, but in such wise that she
could not look inside it.
You remember that round hole we
saw from the summit rock?" he said.

his pace and turned to the left, in or
