Physicians think that external treatment

foundation of a clear complexion. If

indispensable is sunlight The sleeping

The newest gowns of grenadine. wolfe.

or gauze or satin ribbon or lace, as best

Treating Coarse, Flabby Skin.

Bertha.-A face that is shiny and dark
with coarse, fiabby skin indicates a poor
condition of the blood and imperfect cir
culation, especially the latter. Facial mas
sages will prove very beneficial in reducing
the f1abby condition and a mild astringent
lotion should be used 10 assist in closing
the pores and giving tone to the skin. As
the skin is shiny this indicates that it does
not need feeding. Every night before re-
firing battle the face and neck with warm
water and use plenty of pure soap; rinse
thoroughly to remove all traces of soap,
using cool water for the purpose, dry and
then massage carefully. Rub on small
quantity of cocoa butter or pure concen-
traIed skin food. In your case you need
only enough to prevent the fingers from
irritating the skin, not to supply fat, as
the skin is already over-suppled. The face
will be glowing red after the massage; then
sponge off with luke-warm water and
second time with cold water. Pour fifteen
drops of simple tincture of benzoin in
pint of cold water and sponge the face and
neck. Apply the following astringent lotion
the very last thing and allow ii to remain
on over night. Take two ounces of violet
water. one-half ounce of glycerine and one
dram of powdered alum and mix thorough
ly. In the morning use cool water to
battle the face and add benZon to the rims
ing water as before directed. Cucumber
juice is product of the vegetable obtained
by distillation. The following are brief
directions for massage. Begin by placing
the finger tips of both hands in the middle
of the forehead and give rirm, upward
stroke 10 the temples. Place the finger
tips at the middle of the chin and perform
a rotary motion 10 the middle, of the for
head, following the jaw bone and near the
edge of the hair; then begin again at the
corner of the mouth and go to the corner
of the eye, start again at the temple and
end in the middle of the forhead. Use
the finger tips only with light firm pres
sure and rotary motion in each movement.
To further strengthen the muscles of the
cheeks place the finger tips the jaw
bone and stroke the cheek upward and
backward finishing with the palms of the
hands. Place the finger tips on the sides
of the nose and give upward rotary ex-
ercise. Place finger tips at the inner corner
of the eye and draw lightly outward under
the eye to the temple. Repeat each move
ment twenty times rather slowly. These
directions peculiarly applicable for
those whose skin is coarse and fiabby.

A negro woman Of the "aunty' type was
waiting for car at Tenth and Harrison
streets yesterday afternoon, says the Phil
adelphia Telegraph. The motorman found
some difficulty in bringing his car to a
halt, and before it stopped entirely it had
run almost half way to the next crossing.
"Aunty'' pulled along after it with a great
bundle of clothes she was returning. and
climbed abroad with many protestations
against having to follow the car ''all de

The conductor. in his effort to modify her
wrath, told her that it was not intentional.

Boston Journal
Every woman loves dainty conveniences
for her personal comfort, little ''fixings"
for her room that add a flavor of fem
ininity and fuffiness to the furniture of
room.
Trashy and superfluous things must be
eliminated. but as far as possible the use
full may be beautiful.
Among pretty trifies there are variety
of pinholders. A useful one for ordinary
pins is in the shape of a book made of
satin or silk. In either dark or light colors.
After the cover is made. lined, and tree
stitch given to the edges. a paper of pins
is fastened inside to the back of the cover
with a ribbon. which then ties and closes it.
A small pincushion may be made of two
squares of linen. Around all sides make
half-inch hem, and above 1t a line of
hemstitching. Between these two squares
slip in a fiat cushion. which is held in
place by No. l ribbon, in and out,
terminating with small bows at each
corner One of these covers NAV be dec

wreath of blossoms.
a convenient holder for hatpins is a
soft cushion, made long and narrow, of
some pretty silk. either figured or in solid
tints. The top is slightly ruffied, and
be hung. For brooches and breast pins
the cushion is of crescent shape made in
a brocade figure silk, or, if preferred in
a delicate solid tint There is a four-inch
rufie of point d'esprit or Valencennes
around each side, which is slightly gath
cred. The cushion is suspended to the toilet
glass by long ribbon, with bows attached
to each corner.
Nothing is more needful than bags These
are usually made of stout cretonne or silko-
line in some pretty floral pattern. These
roomy affairs drawn up or pulled out
at will by an inch-wide ribbon or tape
Small bags are attached TO the longer ones

"A pretty button bag is made of ribbon
about four inches i'm width. and of any
length preferred. connected by stitches as in
embroidery. At the top of the bag make a
deep frill. and run at the opening a casing
of ribbon by which ii can be hung.
For waists or dresses which require fold
ing. a covering is useful TO keep away the
dust. Have some soft pieces of muslin about
yard square. either Of silkoline lawn or
thin sateen. Bind all edges with an inch
wide ribbon or wide tape. Wrap or cover
dress entire. Articles of this kind should
be washable, and will last for some time TO
come.
Other ''needfuls" appreciated by women
of dainty tastes are veil cases of linen
trimmed with lace. with the center en-
broidered or monogram worked: handker-
chief cases made on silk. covered with bolt
ing cloth and then painted or worked: glove
boxes made on the same inviting plan: and
delightful sachets for the bureau and for
different garments.
