IN MYLADY'S BOUDOIR

Complexion Creams vary for different
purposes Just as soaps do. though many
girls get the habit Of using one cream
on all occasions. OF course. II one

Of cream for the skin. as house
keeper buys the different soaps, it
would make this one item Of toilet
necessities a bit expensive. and most
girls prefer TO use their pin money in
other directions. Still, one can have
cleansing cream and a good cold
cream for day use besides. without
feeling too extravagant The other
varities are really non essential. and
the girl who uses two creams properly
can be as well groomed as the beauty
who has a regular caseful of prepare
lions.
Cleansing Creams are softer than the
regulation cold creams. and are in
tended to be applied when the skin
is dusty. 1t should be thoroughly
rubbed in every night with the finger
tips, after which the superhuous mois-
ture must be removed with a chamois
or soft old handkerchief 1t takes
much more of this soft cream for daily
use than of the other creams, so it is

creams, and there are so many thor

at home. An excellent cleansing cream
which comes from a first class chemist
is made as follows: White wax, one

Girls who are using creams and oils
externally for dry skin will be sur
prised to hear that olive oil taken in
ternally is a good remedy for a dry
complexion. The rule is a tablespoon
full after each meal. Great care will
be necessary, however, in keeping the
oil fresh and cool. as the least tend
ency towards being rancid would sure

this must be very careful not to undo
her work by using a toilet soap which
hardens the skin. Those containing
oils are best for such a complexion,
pure CASTLE being the safest, perhaps.

world" says the physical training
teacher at one of the big women's coll
Ileges Properly done, it calls every
muscle in the body into play and is far
more normal and healthy for the aver
age girl than all this apparatus work
in the gymnasium 1t isn't every girl
who can stand hanging by her toes
from a serpentine ladder. or tumbling
about in a basket ball game but walk
ing is good for all girls, and il re-
quires no expense.
This woman knows whereof she
speaks, having over 1000 girls under
her charge every school year, and she
always advocates good walk for the
nervous girl, the dyspeptie, the victim
of the blues. Always in moderation
though. is her rule. Fall is the walk
ing season. and in the colleges and
big boarding schools this month walk
ing trips are almost part Of the cur
riculum.
But one doesn't have to go away
to school to walk. A little care in
getting into walking trim and an hour
or two for the sport on working days
is all that the city girl requires.
If you aspire to be walker, with
the elastic step, the rosy cneeKs, ana
the real smile of happiness, get into
the habit of walking either to or from
your work every day. If you live in
the suburbs, walk as far along the car
line as you can every morning without
being tired. Then board the first car
that comes along after WEAKNESS be-
gins to weigh down your feet. You
will be astounded to see how much
further you can walk the second week
than the first.
Then, these glorious Sundays, take
a good long walk to give zest to the
weeks work Don't put on your best
suit and stroll along in the park Put
on your working clothes and make q
bee line for some friends house in
another city. One walks so much bet
ter having some definite place in view
December and the hard winter
months will find the girl who has beer
walking this fall in just as good trim
as her college friend who has been
rolling up muscle in the gymnasium.
