Don't imagine that tho polishing or
Furnishing is a merely mechanical proc
ess or that 1t can be done quickly. As q

through with the experience before We

The well Furnished woman can truth
fully assert that q great deal OF the refine
ment Of agee has been put into tho process
by which she became beautiful. To
wisdom OF the Orient, and TO make the
skin shine with just the right lustro takes
a secret learned II Egypt.
Il usually begin with the hair because
it holds it's gloss we'll for several days
after it has been done. ] believe that q
woman,s hair would stay permanently
week for a few months. At the end Of
that period the natural oils OF tho hair
would begin TO show forth and the hair
would not soon get dull and dry.
-Unmeaning hair is n Of the trials OF
the fashionable woman groom. 1 have
been a groom for several years. here and
in London, and my worst trial has been
found in the meaningless hair which is on
30 many women's heads. l call drab hair
u~nmeaning. particularly II IT il dry and
inclined to fly. 1t has no character and
it is impossible to make a woman look
nice II her hair ia Of that variety.
Il take this meaningless hair md l

several days.
American women do not like oily
hair. 30 the secret Of hair Furnishing lies
in putting on just a very ew drops OF
oil. The friction OF the soft silken pad
with a series Of mellow lights that bring
out all the natural tones.
Il advise the woman who cannot hire
a burniBher to part of her VI hair and
polish it with a little perfume rubbed in
the palm Of her hand. A drop Of oil
of jasmine will answe the purpose. but
altar Of rose is really the best.

aTo polish the face so as to take out
the wrinkles requires a certain amount
Of very soft cold cream. Any good GOLD
cream will do. but It must be thinned 90

I can obtain It l get . little bottle Of the

Il spread it all over the face and then
I work it in with the finger tips. 1t takes

Sometimes I work two or three faoefuls
into the pores in a single sitting. and
then l tell the patient to rub her face
with the warm palms Of her own hands
as a finisher. The skin gradually plumps
out and the wrinkles disappear.
