SOftening the Skin.

Homely complexion specifics are al
most becoming too honely nowadays.
Raw mutton fat, which is said to be
excellent for the skin of the face in
cold weather, is, as matter of fact, a
somewhat drastic remedy, and the
same might be said Of raw eggs, which
are credited with a wonderful effect on
the complexion.
A well-beaten ,new-laid egg, spread
rather than rubbed over the skin in
the evening, and left to dry on, is
looked upon by many people as an ex-
cellent skin softener and preventive of
the crow feet, the first signs of which
have always to be closely guarded
against. The face Is first Of all gently
washed with tepid distilled or pre-
viously boiled water, and then dried
with soft handkerchief. A large sa
ble-haired paint brush is afterward
dipped in the well-beaten egg and
worked over the face until the skin
feels little stiff and drawn. This is
left to soak in for ten minutes, when
the egg-wash is gently wiped off with
handkerchief dipped in rosewater.

in soapy water all night, is put in a
tub. She turns a switch; then cud-
ding baby in her lap she opens the
morning papers and rocks and reads
while the electric motor is swishing
the soiled clothes back and forth in
the washing machine.
The first step Of the laundering pro-
cess finished, she rinses the automati-
cally cleansed clothing in clear water,
:urns another switch and feeds the
moist cloth through the rubber rolls of
the wringer, which Is operated by the
same motor that ran the washing ma
chine. After the clothes are dried she
irons them with electrical f1atirons
and what was once a backbreaking,
health destroying form of drudgery has
become almost a positive pleasure.
The kitchen of this home has in it a
gas stove, but 1t also has an electrical
cabinet on which goodly part of the
meals are cooked. The cabinet Is home
