walk of the station. On sending in our
cards we were shown into an elegantly
appointed drawing-room. where we
were joined in a few minutes by a
rather stout man who received us with
much hospitality. His age may have
been nearer 40 than 80, but his cheeks
were so ruddy and his eyes so merry
that he still conveyed the impression

for me. 1 have met her at a number
of social affairs, but l have never called
on her. 1 am not sur If it is my place
to ask permission to call on her at her

The young lady is perfectly right In
not asking you to call. She knows her
place. no matter how much she cares
for you. All oyertures must come from
you. Ask permission to visit her in her
home, and il she cares for you no
doubt she will receive you, then you
will in all probability have an oppor-
tunity of letting her know your interest
in her. You should be able to GO this

Dear Madd1ne:

ide of hydrogen, which I did. But

/ If the freckles are the variety known
as sun or wind freckless the peroxide OF
hydrogen will be found very effective
Apply once daily, full strength; with q
bit of soft linen. Another cure for sum-
mel freckles is the following:
Elder flower ointment, / II
Sulphate of zinc, 20 grains.
This cream should be applied at night,
after scrubbing the skin with warm
water and soap. 1t should be washed
carefully out of the skin in the morn
ing, and the following lotion applied:
Infusion of roses, s fluid ounces.
Citric acid, 80 grains.
This may be applied lightly several
times during the day.
Permanent or obstinate freckles may
be removed by using the following;
Tactic acid, 4 ounces.
Glycerine, ? ounces
Rose water, | ounce.
This preparation is really a bleach in
it's effect. but at the same time 1t is
entirely harmless. 1t may have a ten
dency TO cause a burning sensation or
a temporary redness of the skin, but
this must be expected, as it is meant to
remove the discolored skin. A good
cold creanl applied to the effected parts
will allay the burning.

1t is amazing to know the extent to
which hollow cheeks may be benefited
by facial MASSAGE, when the work is
properly and persistently given.
To massage the face successfully, it
is necessary to know the exact loca-
ton of the muscles and the best way
to become familiar with the situation
is to consult a first-class masseuse, one
who can be entirely relied upon. The
accompanying illustration shows the
proper manipulation of the cheek
muscles to fill out the hollow cheeks
mouth. The muscles must be accurate
ly located, and the motion light and
quick in a sort of a clawing move
ment, thu movement to be upward and
out ward, as all facial massage should
be.
AS. in all massage, first battle the
face with hot water, scrubbing with a
camel's hair brush and pure soap.
Rinse the soap until not a particle re-
mains, using hot and cold water alter
nately seven or eight times. Dry the
face with a soft towel, using the up
ward movement.
The formula for a good skin food
which should be applied during the
massage, is as follows:
White wax. / ounce; ~spermaceti, /
ounce; Lanolin, . ounces; sweet almond
oil, 4 ounces: eocoanut oil, 2 ounces;
benzoin Qincture), s drops; orange
flower water, 2 ounces.
Melt the first five ingredients to-
gether. remove from the fire and beat
until nearly cold, adding little by little
the benzoin and lastly the orange
flower water.
