Various Devices Used for
Preservation of Beauty

Madame Vestris, the celebrated
French beauty, slept every night with
her face plastered in a paste made OF
nlilll oxide of zinc and corn starch, in
order to drive back the wrinkles and
keep her complexion fresh and fair.
During the reign of Empress Eu-
genie, bathing in milk was practiced
by every fashionable beauty who could
afford the luxury. This custom was
carried to such an extent that there
became great scarcity of milk for do
nestle purposes until at length tho
police discovered that the vendors
were in the habit of buying back the,
milk which had been used in the bath
and selling it over again to their tea
and coffee drinking customers.
Lola Montez said the secret of pre-
serving beauty lay in three simple
things, temperance, exercise and clean
Illness.
A small round bath tub, invented for
the use of Marie Antoinette still bears
her name. The Dauphinesse used in
her baths a decoction of wild thyme
and marioram, to which was added
sea salt.
Anne Boleyn was the first OF tho
English queens to indulge in the lux
ury of bathing and cleanliness as we
know it, and ended the thousand years
without baths. which constitutes one
of the misfortunes of the middle age.
Nine. de la VALERIE retained the
beauty of her golden hair by washing
it in rum, into which was put an in
fusion of bitter apples (colocynthis).

Easy Method of Dyeing
Finery That Has Faded

This, the fag end of the season, Is
the time when white dresses or suits
of serge, henrietta and panama pre-
sent, from frequent cleanings, yell
lowed and woe-begone appearance
which, If not remedied, consigns them
forthwith to the "give.away" pile. The
remedy lies in dyeing them, and the
following recipe will be found very
satisfactory:
To one tube of oil paint add enough
gasoline to dissolve it completely.
The best way to obtain this result is
to squeeze the paint into small bot
tie partly filed with gasoline; let it
dissolve and shake it well. Then into
the basin pour enough gasoline to
cover entirely the article TO be dyed.
Add to this enough OF the mixture in
the bottle to color it the desired tint
more for darker shades, less for light
er. Dip the article repeatedly, allow
ing it to dry each time until the re-
CURED tint is obtained.
To select the right colored paint Is
an important item. For pinks and
reds, carmine Is best, for blues marine
blue is most satisfactory, and burnt
sepia produces beautiful woody
brown.
Not only for wooden and mixed goods
is this recipe practicable. Laces. net
waists, hose, canvas shoes and lace
hats can all be created by the same
method. Thus at very small outlay an
entire costume. shoes, hose, suit, hat
and waist, can be transformed from
dingy white to some dark shade.

MRS. ELVA BARBER EDWARDS

There are three critical stages in a
womans life which leave their mark
in her career. The first of these stages
is womanhood, or the change from a
care free girl to budding womanhood,
The second is motherhood, and the
third is Change of Life.
Perils surround each of these stages,
and most of the misery that comes
to women through i'll health dates
from one or another of these inn
pOrtant crises.
Women should remember that Lydia
e. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
made from native roots and herbs has
carried thousands Of young girls over
the critical period of puberty, has
prepared mothers for childbirth and
in later years carried them safely

cessfully than any other remedy in
the world. Thousands of testimonials
from grateful persons, two of which
are here published, substantiate this
fact beyond contradiction.
