The first step in the proper washing
Of the face Is to soften the skin and
open the pores. For this dip a wash
cloth into water as hot as can possibly
be borne and hold 1t close to the face
until 1t cools. Repeat this two or three
times. and you are ready for your
scrubbing.
The question Of using soap on the face
Is a vexed one. Queen Wilhelmina OF
Holland. it is said. has never touched
soap to her face. and her wonderful
complexion is famous worldwide But
we must remember the numberless cos
metics at queens command that mako

best thing is to use soap once day if
cream is not employed. twice or three
times a week il it is. At any rate.
whether with soap or not, the face
should be scrubbed-not too hard-with
a flesh brush. The rubber ones are
best, but there are a number of good
makes on the market.

An occasional alcohol bath is good for

be used to bleach into invisibility any

~ OUNDS queer, doesn't It?
One would think that every
grown woman would know how
to wash her face and hands, II
she knew nothing else. But as matter
of fact, all that most women do is to
keep the skin clean enough to be pre-
fentable. The rest they have no idea of.
And what is the rest? There Is SO
much .'rest' that 1 have space to men
ton only a little OF it. The proper
washing Of the face keeps the skin OF
the whole body free from impurities
and blemishes, softens and whitens the
skin and prevents forever blackheads
or pimples. The proper washing and
scrubbing of the hands are an absolute
necessity for any one whose work
brings her in contact with other people
or depends on articles she has made or
arranged by hand. What should we
think Of a doctor who did not sterilize
his hands after an operation? And the
