 Her dressing table, which used to be lit tered up with what she calls now "all sorts of American trash," was bare of everything except a few ivory toilette articles.
 And what do you think?
 She doesn't even sleep on a pillow any more.
 I dismissed that part easily.
 The Japanese may be a wonderful peo- ple-that I grant, but a little block of wood under the head for a pillow-well, that is out of the question: No; that wasn't the beauty secret, she declared, when she saw my surprise at this state of things.
 Don't you remember the olive oil baths that the Divine Sarah used to take?,' she asked me as we seated ourselves Tor a cozy chat.

 'HThe Japanese have a more wonderful scheme than either of those," she said. q learned the secret from a girl who was in a mission school out there. She came from a Samurai family and her mother had been one of the ladies in waiting at court.''

The cedar wood tubs they have over there are a great improvement on the porcelain tubs we have here The wood is very soft and as fragrant as sandal wood. The whole family takes a hot bath every day Not the kind of hot baths Americans take, but & regular Turkish temperatured bath. The formu- la the girl gave me was for between times after the regular bath. She told me that cousin of the Empress, who has won derful magnolia like skin, uses only this as beautffier You take the whites of four or five eggs and beat them as stiff as possible" 'I'd think I was going to be made into an angel cake,' I interrupted Disdaining my 'levity, the girl went on: You sprinkle into the eggs talcum powder until it is a smooth, thin paste. Then rub the paste over the body with the | hand until 1t is absorbed. This you can do by continued rubbing. Next, have tepid bath ready and roll into it, or stand under a tepid shower until the paste is rinsed off. When you come out of the tub, cover yourself with a blanket or bath robe, but don't rub. Wait until the skin | is perfectly dry, then rub the body with alcohol and wrap yourself again in the blanket and lie down for 20 minutes" "Why, I should think you'd feel like | a marshmallow, or something messy and puffy and doughty" I said.
