A SCHOOL GIRL of IA is old enough
~ TO care a good deal about her
looks. and nobody should blame
her or accuse her Of vanity, if she
wishes for a good complexion and be-
walls a bad one. I have known moth
ers who worried not a little because
Jessie and Jenny liked to look in the
glass as they passed it, and who
seemed to think the custom worthy
OF reproOf.
Now, girls, please don't tell anyone,
II whisper my own little secret. /
have always loved 10 see myself in a
mirror, and, To this day, L cannot re-
sist its fascination, and am sure, uu-
less in great haste TO keep an ap-
pOintment TO pay my respects TO IT.,
as ] so through the room where it
hangs.
A friend OF my girlhOOd had a lovely
NOM in which were four long mir
r0rs set in four high doors. II was my
delight to take a book 70 that room
and seat myself on a sofa IN the mid
die OF il, with looking glass in each
corner, repeating the furniture and
books as we'll as the young person in
the center. Later l slept during a
visit TO the south, in a chamber OF
which one side of the wall was a great
cleaning sheet OF glass, from base
board 10 ceiling. In that room colonial
bellies had dressed for colonial dances
ia the days Of long ago. In these days
when / look in the glass, 1 do not see
my own face only, but often seem TO
see faces Of dear ones who are not
with me now; my mother, my sister,
and others who were once here. You
are too young to have the sort Of
pleasure in a looking glass that you
will have by and by. Meanwhile,
when you come TO visit me, you may
look in the glass as much as you like.
1 hope you win see a pretty COM
pleXion reflected there.
A complexion has = great deal 10 do
with girlish beauty. For one thing, it
is an index to your health, sickly
complexion showing unerringly that
the body is out OF order. \ rough, sal
low. or pimply complexion, with red
spots or the ugly things called black
heads, dishgure any girl, and spoil the
effect of regular features, as a blOtch
or blur would spoil picture.
There are a few things to do, and a
few not TO do. il you would have a nice
skin, and a good color, and be free from
boils. pimples and unsightly patches
upon your face. Indispensable TO a
good complexion is a bath from head
10 foot every day. The best time Tor
thfs bath is in the morning as soon as
YOU rise. Wash thoroughly every inch
81 the body and dry with rough towel,
- that the friction viii bring a warm
slow TO the surface. A tub bath is not
necessary. A sponge bath is quite as
good. If you have no tub.
Some girls fancy that soap must not
he nut on the face. This is an old
fashioned prejudice. Everything de
r5-ods on the soap, which ought TO be
of the best quality. IN a toilet soap il
is wise to purchase Ii delicate variety,
not of the very cheapest, either Wash
the face thoroughly every night at bed
lime with fine soap and tepid water
1-insing il Wen and removing the lather
and drying it with soft towel Once
! day is often enough 10 use soap on
the face. but this one using should new
er be omitted.
