Chinese Compilations,

The exquisite complexion Of the
young Chinese women is due not to
enameline. as has been suspected. but
by expert mrsse:ises.
They begin by a gentle pinching Ut
the cheeks between the TIPS Of their
fingers. which lasts fully ten minutes;
then apply lotions on absorbent cotton.
then an unguent. and finish by Knend-
ing the cheeks with an extreme deJicacy
of touch, always proceeding from the
nose and comInlssures of the lips to-
ward the cars ~.
