How to Remove Tan and Freckles
BY ELEANOR MORRIS.

Summer days are passing and with
them the pleasures and outings the
season brings. AS you stand before
your mirror you are face to face with
the imprints made by the wind and
sun. You are not so pleased with the
image that presents itself for inspec-
ton as you were a month ago; you set
to work at once to undo with massage
and steam, cream and lotions, the hav-
oc you so willingly made.
The woman with the money and time
at her disposal will HE herself to the
beauty establishment, and after sew
eral treatments with the deft fingers
of the clever masseuse, her coat of tan
will be but memory. Nothing re-
moves tan speedily as steam and
massage, and tho you are obliged to
economic, do not sacrifice your COM
plexion; you will be amply repaid,
even tho you can only have few
treatments scientifically given.
It is at this period you can make or
mar your future complexion, as the
skin is very tender after the hard
ships you have subjected it to for the
past months, and if not gotten in good
condition before the arrival of chilly
winds and frosty air, red and rougl
skin will be the result. I know only
too well there are many so far re-
moved from the services Of the beauty
expert that home care is the only care
that is at all possible. For these ]
am truly sorry and advise them to help
themselves as follows:
Cut into thin slices two ordinary
sized cucumbers; cover them with {
pint Of sweet milk, allow them t.
stand twenty-four hours. Battle thu
face several times a day with the 10
ton and once week steam the face
as follows: Cleanse with a good colo
cream, steam for ten minutes over {
bowl of boiling water, or rather unit
you have induced a thoro perspira ton
Dry the face and massage for ten min
utes with this cream: Express oil O.
i. sweet almonds, eighty minims; fres1
cucumber juice, one fluid ounce; lano
line, four drachms; oil of rose, fou
drops. Remove all the cream from til
face and battle in elderfower water
If the skin is heavily tanned, steamin
twice week is advisable. In the morn
ing, in place of water, use elderfowe
water. This is cleansing and bleachin
as we'll. g

"A BUSY EMPRESS

While recently receiving party Of
Americans, whom she had met before,
the German empress gave an illustra-
tion of how thrift is practiced by a
royal mother. The royal household is
allowed more than million dollars a
year by the parliament for state re-
ceptions and public expenses, but the
emperor IS home is maintained out Of
his own purse, and the empress has con-
troll of this.
She was talking with her visitors
when a loud crash came from an adj
joining room. Servants fastened to the
spot, but the empress was there first.
On her return she said composedly to
the company: ~
cone Of my nieces who has been
visiting us broke a jardiniere, some
thing I paid $50 for because I liked
it's shape. She will have that much
sewing to do to pay for her careless
ness and my loss
The niece was given plain sewing
and embroidery work to do represent:
ing labor the equivalent Of the value of
the ornamental jar-a lesson she was
not likely to forget.
In showing her company thru the
royal home the empress brought them
to the sewing room, a place in which
her daughter, herssnieces and poor girls
to whom she gives assistance work sc
many hourse each day. Nearly all Of
the useful dress articles Of the roya
family are made III this room, which i
fitted with machines, working tables
and measuring apparatuses. l
