NEVER USE COLD WATER
WHEN FACE is HEATED

Two rules should be learned by heart:
Never use cold water when the skin is
soverheated, and always rinse on every
particle of soap, first with warm, then
with cold water.
To plunge the face into cold water
when IT is red from heat and exposure
to wind and sun is TO ruin the skin.
Then is the time to have the water a
little warmer than tepid; as near the
temperature of the skin itself as pos
sible, says Hortense Provost. Also, If
possible, to first fill the face with cold
cream, letting it remain ten minutes;
wash with the palms of the hands, use
n second suds If needed. rinse in two
tepid waters, clean and finish with cold.
A soft, thick towel should always be
used on the face; the skin is too deli
cate to be rubbed with crash or any
thing rough And If the precaution is
taken of pressing upward while wipine
fhe face it will prevent the sagging of
ahe muscles of the chin and jaw.
After drying we'll rub In cold cream
lightly; leave this Until It is absorbed,
unless one is going out at once; then
&he cream may be wiped on with bit

One Of the curious phases Of modern
social development is the utter lack Of
what used to be called good manners
in women who bear all OF the outer

Of good social position. yet they are daily
guilty of rudeness that would make a

Primarily this disregard Of that gen.

ladyhood is shown in the cruelty ap-

Eyes, very true" answered the but

Thorough Rinsing Second Rule.
The second rule, the thorough rinsing,
means that II the soap is left on the
skin bIackheads and pimples are sure to
follow; the pores are clogged with the
soap; they accumulate on top of that
all sorts of dirt and grim, and black
heads are at once apparent
And another safe plan to follow Is to
never wash the face just before going
out into wind and sun. Such exposure
is almost sure to make the skin rough
and coarse.
It is for this reason that / always
say something about the cleansing of the
skin at bedtime. A woman has then
the advantage Of a long rest after the
facial bath, with the certainty Of what
ever she has applied in the way of foods
or tonics being properly absorbed during
sleep.
In very warm weather soap may rot
be needed at all; lemon Juice may be
applied when the face is filed with per-
spiration; just q little on a soft cloth
wet in tepid water is better than soap
during the day. Where the skin is very
sensitive almond meal may be used In
stead of soap.

"At the same time there are thousands
of women who have families and homes
and who do their own housework.
ANY woman thus situated would neg
lect her family If she gave the neces-
sary time to keeping up. day by day. with
the political issues OF the country, and
If she did not keep up with them, she
would cast her vote In ignorance and
lnjudiciously.
Not q Question of q Few Hours.
TT is not q question, as many women
state, of a few hours out OF the year
given to casting ballot
The woman who votes intelligently
must do a good deal more than this. She
must keep abreast of all political ques-
lions, or fail to vote wisely and well
II do not believe that nine-tenths of
the women Of our country can do this
without serious neglect of their homes,
and II is for this reason that I feel that
man alone should continue to shoulder
the responsibility Of running the govern
ment, and feel that woman's influence
upon him. If she will use it rightly, VIII
be sufficient to urge him to make such
changes in the laws as viii be to her
interest.

other women OF whom I know"

Daily Fashion Talk for Herald Readers
Plain outline feature in select
ing patterns that the home
dreSSmaker- should consider.

1t is easy to say that the leading mark of the
fashions of the hour is simplicity. This, however is
far from saying it ALL for it is the studied simplicity
of the artist and it is by no means easy for the
teur to make dress which is at stylish and
simple.
There are, however, many aids in this direction,
and one of them is the selection of design which is
of plain outline. To this may be added all manner
of fiat trimming effects but nothing that will in any
way detract from the severity of the general outline
The many embroideries which are so popu-
lar are great help in this matter and the of the
and also of insertions and bands of all kinds will be
great help, without in any way interfering with the

DEMAND FOR THE BALLOT
is NOT UNANIMOUS WITH
WOMEN OF WASHINGTON

The Information published In The
Herald's Page for Every Woman last
Friday morning concerning the laws of
THE United States and their bearing on
women has served to awaken many
Washington women to their rights to
the ballot, and has brought me dozens
iof expressions Of appreciation and able
arguments in favor of woman suffrage
Belva A Lockwood, LII D.. attorney
Ut law, in behalf Of the Suffrage Club
submits the following eleven reasons why
woman should vote:
Because they ara women
Because they are the mothers Of the
race, and no nation could long exist
without them.
Because a very large number Of them
are taxpayers, and are taxed without
sepresenttion.
Must Obey Laws
Because they must obey the laws,
and therefore should have a voice in
making them, and be able 70 give their
sanction to them when made
Because they need the ballot for the
personal protection OF themselves and
their children, and for the protection or
their property.
Because, morally and equitabIy, they
should share in the emoluments OF Of
fee according to their ability. and be
permitted to pursue and to qualify them
selves to pursue any laudable vocation
or profession without hindrance on ac-
count of SEX
Would EquaIize Wages.
Because it would equalize the wage
Aof women with that of men, both In
economic and professional industries.
Because it would increase the num-
Der of educated voters in the land
Because it would increase the number
of native-born voters, and thus increase
the law-abiding vote.
Because it would lend the moral In
ihuence of women to public affairs and
honest elections.
Because it would induce women to
study the political needs OF the country
and arrest in a measure their extrava-
igance and frivoIity in dress"
Is Not Unanimous.
The demand for woman's equal politi-
Acal rights is not unanimous by any
means, for many readers believe with
woman to enter politics.
: Here is a protest from the mother Of
i've children, who asks that her name be
withheld:

cerning politics and more thought given
