FROM WOMANS
POINT OF VIEW.

Ny attention was recently called TO the
complexion Of handsome old LADY who
sat in front OF me n a trolley car. a COM
plexion as fine and clear as porcelain
though the owner Of it must have been
well along In years Her hair was snow
white and thin and her teeth were false.
yet she was handsome. and VIII remain
so by reason Of her lovely skin and sweet
expression could not keep ny eyes OF
her face
Ny companion told me Of another vor1-
an with a rose-leaf skin whom she met at
a summer resort with a commonplace
daughter who scorned beauty and al aids
10 il No wonder mothers skin IS fine,
she has taken precious care of II all her
life" was her answer TO an adulirfng
comment on 1t. 7 believe she has never
washed her face and neck IN any but rain
water. which she secures al every show
ev and bottles for use. Think Of tie care
attending such q performance II was
well worth il. my companion said. for
the woman was lovely 10 look upon
II beauty can be secured by such simple
means. the only wonder Is that more
women do not seek it. This story brings
10 mind one told Of q famous court beauty
whose sway lasted all her life and she
lived 20 be a very old woman She had a
chemist. as al court women did In those
days. and It was known that from him
she got the magic preparations which
kept her young and beautiful al her life.
The secret which she guarded with jeal-
Gus care. was revealed after her death
by The chemist. who had been paid 20
keep il TIL she needed secrecy no longer
The precious beautffier was rain water.
nothing more caught and bottled for her
use by the man who prepared her scents
and soaps Her figure was retained by
exercise. her health by care in eating and
sleeping. and bathing and freedom from
care and worry. Her youth was the re-
suit Of a young heart and keen interest
in life with a sunny temper back OF IL.
These are possible 70 any woman yet We
have sour visages. WTinkled faces. bent
shoulders, and lack Of interest in the
things which catch and hold youthful at

The BODY responds quickly 10 whatever
extra attention IS bestowed upon il Last
summer a woman. VINO had passed her
seventy-ffth birthday. took her final
plunge into the salt water, although she
dearly loved that form Of bathing. She
felt a numbness in one OF her thumbs
long after she had dressed. and regarded
It as a warning that her circulation was
not brisk enough 70 bear such shocks.
But she did the next best thing 10 pluug-
I ing into the water. she carried salt water
to her bedroom each day and took a
! sponge bath. securing a good imitation Of
| the lively effect Of an ocean bath
Care makes such a difference n ones
weIl-being! Women who do Ect battle
often are not likely TO have good complex
ions. Those who eat without discretion
generally pay the penalty in appearance
as well as feeling There is a cult that
I teaches beauty seekers 10 sleep more
hours than humanity is accustomed to;
eight TO repair the waste OF the body and
an extra hour or two for the sake Of
l beauty. There are women who believe
! and practice it There is nothing like sun
and fresh air, sound sleep. good food, and
a bright outlook 10 keep one young. and
water, properly use is the simplest and
I best OF beautifers according 10 the testi-
mony OF those who have tried it.
