But TO return to our text-the skin. Let
us suppose that tht Budget is addressing

usually oily not particularly dry. How
! shall she care for II?
In the first place-cleanlness Is taken for
granted.-do not deny air TO the skin.
Whenever you can manage to take rest in
| the afternoon, denude yourself OF all ex-
cept the lightest wrapper-many say Of that
also-and let the sun fall upon you. This
treatment should be continued for at least
| fifteen minutes, and sixty are better. Then
take some kind Of flesh brush and give your
skin. as has been advised in these pages be-
fore, the benefit OF friction. From shoulder
to finger tips, from the nape OF the neck to
/ the end OF the spine. from the hips to the
toes from the chin TO the abdomen. rub
brsky. but never roughly. When you are
in a comfortable glow few Of the simpler

after this, but doctors advice should de-
termine this much vexed question, and
readers Of the Budget must beware OF
plunges into cold water taken without med
icai sanction. II you secure this. be as
sured nothing else can give you more de-
lightful glow or a greater sense OF abound

pores OF the skin will absorb more. as the
