to dispense with manual ablutions To
protect the hands from atmospheric
conditions it is advisable to wear
gloves, not only out of doors but as
much as possible in the house also.
This serves the additional purpose of
obviating the necessity for frequent
washing. 1t is possible now to procure
some very thin India rubber gloves
which fit the hand closely and in no
way interfere with the delicate manip-
ulations of the fingers. Surgeons are
now in the habit of using these gloves
in the performance of their operations,
for they are in no way damaged by
washing and they both protect the
hands from irritating antiseptics and
other fluids with which they come in
contact and they also protect the per-
son operated on from any possible
contamination that may be contained
on the skin of the SUR: con.
These gloves, as | have remarked,
are exceedingly useful for domestic
use by people who are liable to
chapped hands and in whom the con-
dition, If it arises, amounts to some
thing more than an inconvenience.

STRAWBERRY COSMETICS.

arations. that ii is now to supplant
ordinary rouge in many cases. SO
when ordering Strawberries and cream,
in case you feel that you are looking
pale, furtively extract one berry from
the delicious heap and. when no one
is looking. rub it over your cheeks.
OF course for those to whom straw
berries are poisonous, the preparations
containing them are certainly not to
be recommended. Even in beauty cul-
ture and the adherence to fads. ones
common sense should not be shelved.
For the average mortal who enjoys
Strawberries and new experiments the
following methods of using those de-
licious berries will prove interesting
and proba bly, beneficial.
To give color to the cheeks brush
the berry over it. The ripper the berry
the redder the color. Fortunately the
tint contains just enough of the yellow
in it to look absolutely natural, and
there is 10 blue tinge which so often
appears when rouge powder is applied
to the skin.
A more complicated way of getting
strawberry rouge is to place about a
quart and half of berries in a fruit
jar, together with half a pint of water.
Set the jar in saucepan OF water
over Il slow fire and bail for two hours.
Strain carefully. and when cold add
pure alcohol, six ounces; best Russian

this closely stopped and in a dark
place. If the color fades, add little
pure carmine.
For the woman who is annoyed by
the oily eXcretions which exude from
the pores of her face nothing is bet
ter than slightly astringent toilet
vinegar of strawberries. This Is made
of half a pint of crushed strawberries
and the same amount of white wine
vinegar. Allow this to macerate for
"a hours-then press and strain and
add four ounces of rose water.

Do Not Wash the Hands More
Than Is Necessary.

Just as there is Il constitutional ten
dency of certain skins to become
roughened and eXcoriated by the slim
ulating effect of cold winds, SO is there
constitutional tendency for the
hands to chap at some seasons Of the
year under the influence of cold water
or an irritating cleansing medium.
Soaps containing an excess of alkali.
and water containing even small guam
titles of soda, are particular offender;
in this direction.
AS is we'll known, washerwomen
whose hands are constantly immersed
in strong solutions of soda are par
ticularly liable not only to chapped
hands, but actually to eczema Of the
skin, and bakers who are in the habit
of kneading dough which also often
contains Il fair proportion of carbon
ate of soda, very frequently suffer in
the same way.
