CARE OF THE COMPLEXION
Soaps Are a Great Detriment to Del
icate Skin and Should Be
Sparingly Used.

or course every woman knows that in
the very innermost recesses of her heart
every other m possesses a secret
longing TO be considered as attractive as
possible, and would enjoy being beauti-
full If this condition could be induced
without any special amount of labor.
Unfortunately for the success OF the pro-
ject, however, very few women are will
ing to pay sufficient attention to the
small things which are necessary If a
good complexion is to be retained. For
instance, the one cosmetic about which
the most should be known is employed
indiscriminately without a thought as to
possible resul and in stating what has
been applied to the skin, not one woman
in 500 ever even thinks of mentioning
what particular kind of soap she en-
ploys, for she feels that soap is a neces-
sity, not a luxury, and fails to considerit
in the light of a cosmetic.
In solemn reality, however, if the
truth were to be known, moro complex
ions have been ruined by just the ordi-
nary use of this agent than by all the
powders and creams and lotions CON-
bined.
All soaps are made of combinations of
fats or oils and alkalis, When caustic
soda is employed the result is a hard
mixture, while with caustic potash it is
soft. Various other ingredients may be
added, and, in fact, many other agents
are employed for special purposes, but
the most active principles will always
remain-the oils and the alkalis. When
an excess of the last named ingredient is
used the soap will produce a great lather,
and when applied to the skin will dis
solve the fatty acids, remove all trace
of soil and cause a more or less deep eau
terization of the tissues by extracting
the natural oil and rendering the skin
harsh instead of pliable.
The best of skin foods applied each
night and the purest of powders busted
on before venturing into the air cannot
make the skin beautiful If an impure and
cheap soap is employed for cleansing the
face. Dry and scaly skins, wrinkles, sal
lowness, parchment-like texture, and
many other blemishes may be traced d.
rectly to the use Of this one cosmetic.
The woman who would be comfortable
| as well as attractive must remember that
in the use Of a soar she should be gov
erned by results. If after cleansing the
| face the skin feels soft and refreshed.
and there is no sensation Of irritation
and no appearance of %roughness to rem

to her especial case. If, on the other
hand, the ablution is followed by a draw

: a smile will aus tiny cracks to appear
In the surface. she should pause and look
for something less alkaline or she will
soon lave a most beautiful collection OF
wrinkles to work out. If any soaps cause

at this stage on account of the firm negative
given in the Russian reply, it was decided on
the motion of the japanese. to defer Consdera-

intention of postponing long possible thu

This is the usual procedure followed in diplo-

come to an accord upon all possible points be-

that the Russians acquiesced IN the proposition
shows that they. too. careful and anxious
