HOW AN AUSTRIAN BEAUTY
PRESERVES HER GOOD LOOKS,

Inc prettlest woman in Austria is
Fraulein Martens, says the BROOKLYN
Eagle
The Fraulein is not only the pret-
tlest woman by natural right, but she
is the prettiest by popular vote. AT
contest held to determine the hand
soonest woman in Franz Joseph's king
aom the Fraulein received the ma
jority of votes.
Fraulein Martens has certain bean
Ties which are hard to match anv-
where. They are, first, a sweet kind
~ expression of the eyes. They are
as gentle as the eyes of a dove and
indeed she has been likened to dove
SO many times that she is known as
the Dove Beauty.
The Fraulein takes great care IF ber
halr. She calls it her crown of glory
Sne Keeps it brilliantly brushed until
one can almost see ones face in it's
polished surface. And she keeps II
bright Her hair. which is rather a
bright brown, is always at Just that
shade when it can be said to bloom"
IL is not an auburn, but it is some
thing of chestnut
10 keep the hair this color the Fran
lem has 1t wet with cool water once
week. Then she rubs a raw egg into
IT. Then she takes and washes IT with
wnlte CASTLE soap, using a great ouan-
tlty on the hair. She rinses IL. not
with small hair spray, but in the
bath. She puts her head over the tuh
while spray falls from above and
cleanses the hair. The water is al
lowed to run for long time upon the
locks until they are thoroughly free
from soap.
Shampooing the hair with a hath
spray let down from way up above is
one OF the best tonics for the head.
IL lnVigorates the scalp and makes II
almost Jingle. In this way the roots
OF the hair are kept lively and the hair
does not grow gray so quickly. II is
a Viennese method of shampooing the
hair, which, by the way, is allowed to
fall all over the head and neck while
it is being rinsed.
Fraulein Martens uses the Vienna
method of making the skin clear. n
is called Dreaming the skin. 1t is made
as clear as cream and it is very much
the same color. The skin is never dark
and never muddy. 1t is a clear. bean
titul olive, through which the bushes
rise. Muddy colored skin never
bushes, but a clear olive skin will
snow every emotion of the heart.
To get this clear skin there is al
ways a tonic dose necessary. The old
fashioned English treacle and sulphur
is given for three mornings and then
omitted for three. This is done ali
the year around. The dose is a mild
one, but is never omitted for more
than three mornings. A teaspoonful
is given and the skin owes its clear
ness to this.
Then the Fraulein takes a sparlsIinp
water Instead of eating candy and
taking poisons into the system She
drinks a great draught of sparkling
water Sometimes, after the fashion
OF the women of Vienna, she takes a
very light sparkling wine, or a glass
of pure sweet beer She never takes
more than one glass, but she consid-
ers deep draught of sparkling LIQUID
a great beautifier.
Fraulein Martens has a way of talk
ing care of her skin that is remark
able. She takes off the dust of the
day with a specially made cold cream
which she uses as though il were a
sponge. 1t is rather heavy and thick
and she places ii on her face, using II
in handfuls. Then she rubs il off with
a piece of cotton. Then she washes
her face many times i'm hot water.
Finally she takes the London din.
This Is always practiced by the beau
ties of London. A basin is filled with
cool, though not very cold, water and
the face Is dashed with IT, This is to
cool the skin and drive the blood back
and make Il clear.
After this process the Fraulen rests
and for one good hour i'm the early
twilight she closes her eyes and gets a
complete rest.
There are other beauty specialties OF
this famous and lovely woman, but
they are Of the kind that are sensible
rather than common. They are not
generally known and on that account
are rather unique.
The Fraulein never goes out IN slop-
by weather unless fully protected.
She never allows herself to catch
She never has chapped cheeks nor
red nose.
II Is years since she has had an In
J nuenza or even that Niennese scourge
hay fever
II the Fraulein is indisposed she re-
mains IN bed or lies upon the couch
No one has ever seen hor except at
her very best.
The Fraulein never laccs. Though
her taste in dress d. exquisite, she
never. on any account. wears tight
clothing, or tight collars on anything
that pinches The feet
The Fraulein. though she has a
charming voice. always speaks in a.
very gentle tone.
