is good to restore color in the so-called
muddy complexion, to remove the deep
red and dark stains left from pimples; it
also prevents the formation of the purple
pimples, softens harsh, coarse skin with
enlarged pores and removes wrinkles.
The chief benefit comes not only from
improving the circulation, but from the
thorough cleansing of the pores of the
face, and the stimulation of the sweat
and oily glands, the blocking UP of which
makes the blackheads and pimples.
Those who have naturally a great deal
of color and rush of blood to the face,
and those who have very fine, delicate
skin, should not steam their faces; they
need an entirely different method for
their skin.
What the steaming does for the face,
the complexion-brush in measure will
also accomplish. It brings the blood to
the surface, stimulates the glands and
cleanses. The brush selected should be

should be adapted to the kind of skin
of the individual One with very deli
cate skin should not use this at all. In
fact, it should only be used for the def
mite purposes, that is, of clearing a
muddy skin, stimulating the glands to
action, and removing and preventing
blackheads by thoroughly cleansing the
skin
Nearly all of this can be accomplished
by an intelligent use of the pulps of the
fingers. | have often told you that the
fingers impart to the skin of the face a
kind of cosmetic unlike anything else
You can bring the blood to the surface
by their use, you can erase the wrinkles
you can remove blackheads and prevent
the glands from failing to do their duty
The complexion-brushes have one
danger in common with face cloths. I'm
less they are carefully washed and made
surgically clean after use, the impurities
which they collect will injure the skin
and produce the very conditions that
they are employed to remedy.

ing-room door and asked, MAY they
ring?"
For this was my first appearance as a
star, and it is the stars privilege to delay
the curtain. An actress, before she be-
comes star, simply is notified when to
go on. But, in company headed by a
star, when the orchestra is ready the star
is asked, "May they ring?" If every
thing is all right, she answers in the af-
6rnative. But if she has been late in ar
irving, or if something has gone wrong
and she feels that she will not be ready
for her cue, it is her privilege to keep
the curtain waiting.
But that knocking on my dressing
room door on that night that voice,
"Miss Adams, may they ring?" were as
terrible to me as the knocking on the
gate in Macbeth"
What odd things we think of in a
crisis! At that critical moment-the su-
preIne moment of my career so far-an
anecdote flashed through my mind 1t
was about lion-tamer who, having re-
Gently arrived here, left his lions one af-
ternoon and started fora walk up Broad
way to see the city. But he was so
frightened by the crowd and the noise
that he, turned right about and went
back and sat down in the cage with his
lions, congratulating himself that he was
in a safe, quiet, place again. And I
thought to myself, "If.I only had a nice,
quiet cage to go back to now"
Butt hadn't, for / could hear the
orchestra playing and I knew it was
question only of few moments before
the ordeal. Trying to crowd out the
dread of that ordeal, other things kept
coming into my mind.
Five years earlier Charles Frohman
had sent for me to come to his office.
Miss Adams" he had said, 81 have

to undertake them. A process called re-
newing the skin of the face has come
in vogue. 1t appeals to one. for it
would be ideal if the claims for it
were justified by facts. 1t would be
like replacing an old and worn garment
for one that is new.
An application is made to the face
which blisters it slightly, SO that the
outer layers of the skin are removed,
and it is claimed by thus removing the
outer layers of the skin that the pimples,
blemishes and wrinkles are taken awav
Such is not the case, to judge from the

which replaces the other is coarser in
texture, and because it is new and thin,
It wrinkles more easily. The coloring

Idea of how it acts and looks can be OBJ

The skin of the face is a most delicate
tissue, and must be, treated with the
greatest consideration. I would impress
apon my readers that those who would
have a good complexion cannot attain it
BY external applications alone. More

And the audience? 1t had seen a
month's-old Jones baby disappear and a
few minutes later reappear as nine

size was SO obvious that a shout of
laughter went up. But l am told that,
instead of being frightened, 1 sat there
and waved my hand, and that the louder
the audience laughed the faster waved
my hand. And so-without knowing
anything at all about it made my first
appearance on any stage.

told me Of an Ecuador herb which he
said would positively grow hair on any
hair where the hair roots were not

OF the country where 1t grew were
famous for their beautiful long hair.
