The piece deals with the son of a
Jew, Margules, who had become Chris

tainted by his. fellows because Of his
Jewish extraction, he plots to wed the
daughter of his uncle, still loyal Jew.

of her honor and lead her to. renounce
her parents and her religion only to
satisfy his dishonorable pride. But this
heartless general has servant, Angus

none of the delicious peach-ke softness which
came into the world unsullied with the child,
only to be too often lost by indifference and
negligence
Why should the body be so carefully clothed
and bathed and developed with health exercises!
Why should the hands be covered lest the action
of sun or wind should harm them, and the face
with its delicate tender covering be treated SO
differently!
The face is left unprotected and uncared for
to the cruel winds and trying atmosphere which
are our wintry inheritance. You may wear a
veil! True! A veil may be slight protection
and is becoming, but veil will not improve the
complexion or give it that which it has lost. 1t

the treatment to feed the poor starved skin must
be as faithfully and regularly followed as the
body is fed to keep it alive.

The most self-denying woman need not fear
that she will become a slave to vanity because
she resolves to devote poor little five minutes
to the care of her face after she has retired to
her room for the night; rather let her feel
that she is fulfilling duty to her fellow:crea'
lures in thus endeavoring to make herself as
comely as possible, and that the face is an
index to the mind, SO is the skin an index to
the care and trouble she has thought it worth
while to bestow upon this beautiful. part Of her
anatomy which is exposed to the gaze of all be-
holders.
CARING FOR THE SKIN.
And now for this beauty-making process! First
of all the skin has to be made clean--do not be
offended, ladies' but you have no idea how dirty

the face which nature has provided as an anti
dote to dust.
Soap the rest of the body as much as you
please. as thus only can you cleanse the pores
which are full of fatty matter, but wash the
face only in soft warm water, and when night
comes omit even this customary bath, but get
quickly into bed-and this is great considera-
ton on a cold winters night-warmly wrap your
saf IN and proceed to the treatment of the face.
Your complexion may be normal, or it may
be too dry, or excessively greasy, or perspiring,
hut the first treatment will be the same. Obtain
n good, wholesome skin food and gently massage
the face with just as much emollient as the
skin can absorb, wiping it off afterwards with
a soft towel. In the morning wash the face
with plenty of warm water, and feeling o.

So my big collie is dragged off to distant

world, whose shadowy boundaries 1 find so hard
to cross?
And then I hear a gentle grooming and the
sound of soft kisses but l see it is that lucky
dream-baby upon whom this tenderness is being
lavished.

had sister called Jemima, who was very cwuel
to him. She used always to take away his bot
tie. 1 cannot think how she could do such a
thing, can you? But we cut off Jemma's hands
and feet"
"Oh, no, we did not" contradict, startled
out of all politeness.
"Scuse me, we did," the tender voice urges;
"scuse me, we cut them off an stewed them.
Then we killed her with scissors"
But as demonstrate upon the enormity of the
punishment compared with the crime, the small
executioner relents and finally adopts my sug-
