FadS and Fashions,

The large turban- ped hat is undoubt-
ledly the most popular model today, and
for 1t only the very softest treatments are
considered smart. Tuile is favored COW
ering, perishable though it may be-
a pretty hat was seen recently that any
girl could copy. supposing she possessed
plenty of time and patience The entire
outside Of the hat was covered with little
puffs of tulle. one row after another regll-
larly going round and round.
The only trimming was a black brush
caught at the left side with handsome
jet buckle.
The newest model in princess gowns is
that showing panel that starts from the
armhole seam on the shoulder This
tapers to the waist. but not sharply and
extends in a straight line to tie hem of
the gown.
The neck is cut out to display the
blouse. The dress material will often he
no more than straps at the shoulder
sea ms while the depth of the waist in
center front will be barely four inches.
The craze for gold as trimmings almost
equals that for jet, and not unseldom
the two are combined and used as a
decoration
\ black gown will be trimmed with jet
bands backed with gold gauze. or a YOKE
will be OF ivory folded mousseline de
sole lightly covered with a gold filigree-
like trimming and outlined with a band
OF net embroidered in jet beads or Sc
quins.
Again. a gold brush will adorn a tur-
ban of jet.
An odd fancy in children's millinery
is the fashion Of trimming hats of color
ed straw with white ribbon. 1t does not
strike one as being particularly attract
i've. but. on the contrary. rather cold and
dead looking. A pale green chip stra "
and another in a faint salmon pink were
trimmed with ruching of four-inch white
ribbon encircling the crown. ending in a
stif rosette bow on the left side.
A band of silk or satin or velvet en-
circles the hair fatty and ties in a good
sized bow behind the left ear.
Navy blue serges and fine cloths still
oner themselves as serious rivals to the
new tweeds and friezes
Although bright tints are not eschewed
the general tendency is for soft. delicate
tones, light shades prevailing.
.A touch of summer time among the furs
and heavy clothing is the bit Of butterfly
poised airly on the edGe.of hat brim.

Skin of d coarse quality may often be
improved by the daily use of complexion
brush. There is no doubt but that any
defect in Surface circulation has dull
ing effect. and slight friction will usually
do much toward improving this condition.
The sort of brush one should use is imma-
terial beyond saying that, while 1t should
In no way irritate the bristles must still
have sufficient strength to stimulate the
blood.
The way of using brush is simple,
being merely to go over the surface many
times, always in rotary motion. Liquid
green soap should be used occasionally,
but only that, for it is extremely strong
and it's effect upon the skin is drying.
Twice a week is sufficiently often. AS
some sort of application to enable the
brush to move over the skin easily is es-
sential. mixture of half dram of
iodide of potassium and an ounce of
glycerin to half a pint of plain water will
answer tie purpose. With this the face
is wet and the brush is then applied. This
is a cleansing liquid and serves as a soap
substitute.
Rinse Face in Cold Water.
After brushing for three or four minutes
the face must be rinsed In warm water
and then with cold. IT liked a few doses
of tincture of benzoin, about half a tea
spoonful to pint of water, may be used
in the final rinse.

MEANS OF IMPROVING
COARSE COMPLEXIONS
Vigorous Scrubbing With Flesh Brushes Stimulates
Circulation and Refines Pores of Skin.

This whole procedure should be done
every night.
When pimples have developed or black
heads exist the care becomes more elabo
rate. Before the skin is rinsed the irrup-
tions are to be pricked with fine cambria
needle. This work should be done rapidly.
while the skin is still soft and warm from
friction. AS soon as the secretion has
been elected drop of spirits Of camphor
should be applied. TO contract the hole.
1t may smart for a moment, but it is
healing finally.
In the morning it is we'll to make an
application of camphor water. especially
when the skin is inclined to be coarse.
To make this pint of camphor water is
added to half an ounce of bOraX and half
an ounce of glycerin. The face Is wet
with this. instead Of water, and the wash
remains on for five minutes or more. 1t
would be beneficial to go over the COM
plexion with the brush at this time. The
mixture is finally rinsed off. as is done
with the other, at night.
Blackheads Also Due to Indigestion.
IT is not to be expected that the means
suggested will make a pink and white
skin in few weeks, for 1t will not. But
if the routine is faithfully carried out for
some weeks improvement almost neces
sarily will follow. 1t is we'll to add that
while blackheads may be due merely to
surface conditions. they may also result
from imperfect digestion. and a person
who has them should take special care in
regard to diet and that the liver performs
its functions.
