Fogs for the Complexion.

1t is said that the London fogs are a :
good for the complexion as they are
bad for the bones Women get rheuma-
tism While they reveI in a clear skin.
Walking liz the rain is a speciality of the
English woman and 1t certainly tends
to clear her skin. She loves to roam in
the woods and wherever there is a strip
of country you viii see her of scour-
ing it.
An English woman spent last summer
at Newport. "Shere are your waIks?
said she az see carriage drives and
bridal paths and bicycle runways, but
I see no walks.
You are not expected to walk at
Newport" replied a society woman
You ride
And so IL is that the English woman
coming TO New York looks around for
the walks and finds few She surveys
her broad-soled shoes with Amusement
and shame They look so large and
there is so little use for them. She
might as well left them at home. Here
they need nothing more substantial than
French heels and paper soles. How
shall 1 walk in such delicate footwear? %
she asks herself.
The English woman is said to owe her
odd, but none the less it has been as
serted as a positive fact. There have
been many specialists of high learning,
and with much renown in the profess
sion. who have declared that big shoes
promoted circulation. and consequently
acted directly upon the health ana the
| complexion
After several months of hard study a
committee Of doctors, appointed to study
the clear English skin. pronounced upon
| it thus, giving for its causes a variety
| of things:
| First-The habit of tea drinking Tea,
| II not too strong, warns the stomach,
| Pushes the system, and aids digestion
and circulation.
| Secord-The diet which Is simple and
| easily digested
Third-The habit of living in the open
| air.
| Fourth-The fashion Of wearing large
! shoes and generally loose clothing
These things promote the health and
! furnish the material for the clear skin
| for which the English woman is noted.
