The 1chu, which is quite the feature
of dress just now helps to broaden the
shoulders and SO lend a slender APP
pearance to the rest of the figure. so
that it is invaluable to anyone who is
inclined to be too plump.
And 1t is the greatest possible help to
the girl with only q few frocks in her
wardrobe; for fichus OF different shape,
color or material will quite change the
appearance of dress.
Some of the newest are made of

edged with a network of beads. Very
dainty embroidered muslin and linen
ones are to be worn with washing
summer gowns, and there are the pref
test sunshaaes to match them.
3 Needless to say, the main thing to be
careful about in a 1chu is it's immac-
ulate freshness. If this is secured, the
hchu itself may be as plain as you
like; indeed, Dame Fashion herself
rather fnclines to the simple handker-
chief 1chu of the Quaker, especially
for young girls.

MAKES THE COMPLEXION
SOFT AND VELVETY

my first advice to any woman seek
ing a charming complexion is to taboo
the powder box says Mae Martyr, a
noted authority on beauty culture.
Powder clogs up the pores, enlarges
them, making coarse, muddy, blotchy
compilations.
1.-THE very best complexion beautiher
l have ever used-and IT is far superior
to powder-is a simple. inexpensive To-
|tion made by d~issolving foul ounces of
spurmax in one-half pint hot water,
then adding two t~easpoonfuls ~glycerine.
This lotion does not show on the skin.
nor will 1t rub off easily as powder does.
It makes the skin soft and velvety,
leaving 1t clear and youthful looking.
"No other preparation has so far been
discovered to equal this lotion for corr
recting a shiny, oily. sallow complexion.
Every woma should have a bottle OF
this wonderful lotion on her dressing

Care of the Skin.

Can you tell me If peroxide will hurt
the skin. as L have rubbed it on my
face every night for a week to clean
my skin? Also If it will make hair
grow on the face, as l seem to have
very hairy skin since I have used it.
Can you tell me something that will
protect the skin from hair and also
make}ri smooth?ss VIII any ii OF
pink powder be injurious to the skin?
Please tell me of some good powder
to use. l remain, LILLIAN.
1 would not advise you to use per-
oxide on your face. 1t whitens the
skin, but it also has a tendency to dry
up the natural oils that keep it in a
healthy condition. Be sure to keep the
skin perfectly clean. This doesn't mean
simply washing it. Before retiring be
sure that all the dust of the day is re-
moved. TO do this wash the face IN
hot water with a good soap and a COM
plexion brush; then. massage 1t with
a pure cold cream, rubbing the cream
In well with the tips of the fingers.
Rub the face gently with a soft towel
then wash in warm water to which

name of any powder through these
columns. A good rice powder will not
injure the face provided you prevent
the particles of powder from lodging
in the pores by keeping the skin per-
fectly clean. 7
