The amateur, in her attempts at beautifying, is often puzzled over the selection of creams and To- tions suitable for the various com plexion ills. With the hundreds of preparations to be found in the stores and beauty parlors, and the hundreds of formulas printed in the various publications through out the country, there is no lack of variety-the difficulty is to de- eide as to quality and appropriate ness.
 The knowledge of ones needs must come from experience, com mon sense, and the exercise of reason, mixed with the advice given by the specialist and the writer on beauty topics. A little information in regard to these matters may be timely, and form a sort of basis to reason from in making ones selection of the most appropriate cosmetics.
 For general use a cleansing cream is almost the first requisite. Something which will take the place of soap and water-or to be more correct-something which will make the use of soap and wa ter less necessary. The best cleansing cream is cooling to the skin when first applied, and deli cately perfumed, so that it is re- freshing to the tired nerves. It should be light and penetrating so that 1t will enter the pores and soften up the secretions which may be clogging them. It should also be easily removed from the skin without the dragging sensa- ton which follows when heavy cream is wiped off with the ab- sorbent cotton or soft cloth. If the cleansing cream is properly compounded, it will not leave the face oily looking, but will make it possible to apply the face pow der immediately, and with good effect.
 When you read a formula which purports to be a cleansing cream, see If 1t calls for an undue quantity of wax, spermaceti, par affin or 1anolin. If it does, dis card the formula, because it will be altogether too heavy for the purpose and will not cleanse nice ly. There should be a generous quantity of almond oil in your cleansing cream, and also a cer- tain quantity of water. The lat ter can be either distilled water, rosewater, orange flower water, or something similar. A little bo-

TWO DIvORCES GRANTED

In the superior court yesterday af- ternoon Grace Wakely Harrison o1 Fairfield was granted a divorce from George M. Harrison of the same place on the ground of habitual intemper- ance. The plaintiff said she had to support herself because Harrison spent all his money for liquor.
 Jennie c. and Akin of Danbury was granted a divorce from V. Floyd Akin on the ground of desertion. The cou- pie were married in 1908. The deser- tion took place in 1908. The testimony of several witnesses was introduced to prove that Akin said he was not going to support a sick woman.
 Judge Curtis refused a decree to Helen Viola Veach of Stamford be- cause she could not prove she had re- sided in this state for three years. She wanted a divorce from Claude Veach on the ground of intolerable cruelty. Two physicians testified that Veach was in such bad physical condition that Mrs. Veach could not live with him.

In order that valuable court records may be protected from danger from fire, new system of fireproof files has been installed in the county court house. Workmen were busily engag- ed today in tearing out the old wood- en files and putting the new ones in place.

 A years experience with town management of our schools has been productive of results so far in advance of the old conditions that no one hay ing the community's educational in- terests at heart would think of re- turning to the methods which have been displaced. Supervisor Parker puts thus the case in Introducing his annual report: we can safely assert that the schools-both in point of phy- sical condition, equipment and eff ciency-are in very much better condf- tion than year ago. New desks, blackboards, additional equipment and providing additional room for the in- creasing number of scholars, forms a large item of the total amount ex- pended This amount was T,90C which does seem large as compared with the $3.00O or SO which the town formerly expended Of this total however, about $1,000 is represented by a new building and another 8. 900 is repaid by the State through the per capita allowance and what is allowed towards the transportation and tuition expenses of High school pupils. The actual operating expenses of all the school were A,134. Local transporta- ton cost $6S0, which is somewhat less than it costs to maintain a. single school The teachers are paid more than for1nerly-they used to rank among the lowest paid in the State and all the present teachers are Nor nal school graduates or have had a partial Normal training.

 The following formula is select ed from my scrap book, and while it is one of many, it has proved very satisfactory and is easy to mix.
 CLEANSING CREAM.
 spermesst :::::::::::::. E ] ]ounees
 Almond oil ....-........14 ounces
 water 1z ounces
 6OTax .....SV grams
 Put the wax and spermaceti in a dish; set in a pan of boiling wa ter and when they are melted add the almond oil. Do not allow the oils to get too hot, as they should never be heated beyond temper ature which will allow the finger to be held in them without dis comfort. When well heated, re- move from the fire. Heat the wa ter and dissolve the borax in it, then add to the melted oils. After the cream is mixed and all the in gradients well blended, it should be allowed to stand long enough to become cool, but not sufficient ly to even slightly harden, and should then be stirred briskly and steadily until cold. Add few drops of your favorite perfume while stirring, and put the cream in wide-mouthed jars with screw tops. Keep in a cool place.
