WOMANLY BEAUTY
 AND COMMON SENSE
The Text of Jeannetts Van Reypens
 in Household Letter Series.

Every woman, if she could, would like to be beautiful and failing that to be possessed of what, for want of better term, We call "charms" or "fas- cination."
 In these days, when belleship Is so often obtained by cultivating the few good points that a girl is born with until the ugly ones are lost sight of, it is no wonder that beauty special ists" flourish and grow prosperous until there is hardly a hamlet that does not contain at least professional manicure or similar improver of nat ural charms.
 PRETTY HANDS THE RULE.
 Those who remember conditions a decade since cannot fail to be inn pressed with the revolution that has been wrought in the appearance of wOmen's hands. Twenty years ago itI was the exception to see well kept hands and manicured nails outside of the small circle of women who used their hands only for embroidery or other light needlewOrk. Now such lady hands" are the rule.
 Even the woman who works at the most trying of household tasks has found that with the aid of rubber gloves she can protect her hands and keep them as dainty in appearance as if her tasks were of a less labOrious nature. Everywhere womenI have come tu realize that it requires only a very little intelligent, persistent care to ac- cOmplish this desirable result. and that while a manicure's services are desir- able they are by no means a neces- ! sity.
 A GOOD COMPLEXION.
 Nothing is more characteristic of a modern belle than her thoroughly well groomed look. It is here that so many !! women make d failure. Take an aver age crowd of well dressed people, men | and women, and the men as a rule | have much the clearer, better looking | cOmpleXiOns. There is a reason" as l a well known advertiser is fond of re- marking. Men of this class shave every day, and cover their faces with ! a smooth father made from the purest | soaps. This is allowed to remain for some little time, and is then scraped | off, removing not only the growth of beard but also every sort of impurity that may have obtained a lodgment in the pores of the skin. There is a widespread belief among women that soap on the face is thing to be avoid ed. Never was there a greater mis- take. Pure soap is the best cosmetic made. but it must be of the purest. most delicate sort and there are of course always exceptional skins that are injured by soaps that the ordinary person can use with impunity.
 FOR SUN-BURN
 Nothing is better to relieve sun burn or other irritations produced 9y nzr F, father such as men use for shaving. Let this remain for ten minutes and wash off with water as hot as you can bear; then apply a cooling cream or lotion that is known to agree with your skin. Creme simon is one of the best and has been used for generations in Europe and here. cool toilet vinegar is desirable, but as a rule the woman who indulges promiscuously in cosmetics ruins her skin. even if she escapes worse results.
 BEAUTY BATHS.
 The best beauty bath is the one that cleanses the pores most thoroughly If the water is hard it is we'll to add a little mollient ammonia, borax. or even common washing soda, though if the latter is used care must be taken not to overdO it. A piece the size of a pigeons egg will usually be enough for a bath tub full of water
 Bran bags are also good for the same purpose and are simply cheese cloth bags filled with bran, used as wash cloths. After a warm bath. be- fore one drys off. it is well to rub thei skin either with the tips of the fingers used flat-Or with a rubber bath brush. using considerable pressure. Tol any one not familiar with the Turkish bath it will be surprising to find that after the skin has been seemingly per , Tectly cleansed with soap and hot water it yields rolls of soiled material
