Among the things Pillsbury Smith
prided himself on We're his luck with
women and the way that he could
manage a canoe 1t was said of him
that he had such taking way that in
seven minutes by the clock he could
make an old maid vince with palpita-
ton and that he could manage canoe
better than any Indian ever born.
There might have been other things in
his life to brag of, but they were kept
in the background He was man of
about thirty eight, well to do, and mat
rimony was not in his line.
There were three or four reasons
why Pillsbury Smith appeared at Cos
port one day in August and informed
the landlord of the village inn that he
might stay the month out One YVES
canoeing. He was an authority on
hooks and lines and bait and fish. At
Gosport bay swept in almost to the
steps of the hotel, and one part of 1t
in escaping to the lake again fell over
dam and furnished water power to a
sawmill. 1t was an ideal place for
canoeing, and the fishing was always
good
On the first morning after his arrival
Mr.. Smith arose at the early hour of
z; but, early as it was, fine view re-
warded him as he stepped out on the
veranda. A girl about eighteen years
old was padding about the bay in a
canoe She was bareheaded and at
tired in such manner that he easily
reasoned it out that she was camping
with party on one of the islands in
the bay
1t was altogether improbable that she
had heard of his arrival in the village,
but she maneuvered up and down in
front of the hotel in a way that gave
him the Impression that she was show
ing off for his benefit This naturally
flattered him, and when he saw that,
according to his standard, she didn't
know the first thing about managing a
canoe, the way to make her acquaint-
ance seemed clear to him. Before he
could launch his canoe she had disap-
peared, but his disappointment was not
to last long.
At o'clock he took his station at
the head of the mill race to fish. With
in half an hour the girl joined him.
That is. she appeared on the other side

HOW TO WASH THE FACE.
Cleanse Thoroughly at Night with
Hot Water-Cream Should Be
Preferred to Soap.

All the CRIME Of the day should be
thoroughly removed at night and the
pores of the face allowed free breath
Ing space, advises Nine. Hebe. In
the next place, don't use soap and
water on the face any more than is
necessary. Now. | am sure many
soap-andwater fiends will exclaim:
"Oh, | never can do without soap and
water" Well, those who want to use
soap, and oftentimes hard or dirty
water, can do so, and when they get
q good crop Of wrinkles and large
pores they will wish they had taken
my advice. A learned physician once
took me to task for advising a cleans
ing cream for the face. and said he
always used soap and water, through
the day, and from the very horid con-
dition Of his skin, and quite as many
wrinkles as his years would warrant,
! could readily believe he used soap
and water, and not the best soap in
the world or the purest water.
When | compared his skin with q
dainty. perfectly clean little woman's,
with fine pores. clear, soft and dell
cately tinted, who for years had used
only cleansing cream, and a dainty
toilet water during the day, l then
and there decided to stick to my opin-
ion- 1t is necessary to use certain
preparations of soap and hot water
once daily, but this should be used at
night, and after this a cream. When
the pores are large ana coarse don't
expect to improve them by scrubbing
the face. as you would the kitchen
floor. The face should be treated with
a great deal Of respect and gentleness.
large pores will respond to persist
ent massage, vapor and an astringent,
but not to the scrubbing brush. Those
who use water should never, never
use hot IN the morning. unless they
also use cold. They can use hot wa
ter at night. and then a massage
cream. When the muscles are relaxed,
bathing with very cold water will help
TO make them firmer, but see to 1t
that the water is soft and clear.

The suction cup is ON sale at any
f1rst-class drug store and costs from
SO cents up. II looks like half a glass
topped by a rubber bulb. To use this
cup, plant it firmly on the face in the
middle of the chin, press the bulb and
the edges of the glass will attach
themselves to the skin. Now, work
the suction cup upward and outward,
covering as much surface as you pos
sibly can on the right cheek, then
press bulb and release the glass edges.
Start again in the middle of the chin
and work your way upward and out
ward on the left cheek. Always clean
the cup thoroughly after using. A
common cause of hollow, sagging
cheeks is bad teeth. No woman who
makes a pretense to good looks can
afford to have one tooth missing from
her mouth. Cosmetic dentistry has
made it possible to build up a new
tooth on a mere fragment or shell,
and teeth are even planted in the
gums. Porcelain filings are now pre-
ferred to gold, which make the teeth
look dark and porcelain false teeth
are preferred to the more conspicuous
gold crowns. Great hollows in the
Jaws cause not only sagging cheeks,
but uncleanliness of the mouth. Often

woman with sagging Face Should

Cup to Improve Contour.

The woman with what is known as
the sagging face can relieve her bag
gard and old appearance by persistent
treatment before her own mirror.
THIS is done either by a combination
OF skin food and massage or by use of
suction cup. The best skin foods
all contain lanolin and many women
fear to use 1t because it has the repu-
tation OF growing hair. This danger
can be avoided IL the skin food Is
properly used. First, wash your face
thoroughly and dry 1t more than
thoroughly. Leave not a speck of
moisture upon IL. Now apply the skin
food and massage well, using upward
and outward strokes, never downward.
Then wash out the skin food with
pure soap and water and dry thor
oughly. The reason a growth Of hair
follows the use Of skin food is that
the pores are damp and the oil sticks
