The Beauty Budget

deny that oranges have a tonic effect upon
the liver, and we all know that the liver
more or less governs the skin.
Now that spring is at hand (even
though in hiding). the system calls for
an extra supply Of fresh, green vegeta-
bles. The value of the young, tender
leaves of dandeions cannot hardly be
Overestimated. But there are many other
inexpensive salads that the wise house
keeper will use with infinite benefit TO
the complexion. These have been so eX-
haustively indicated in another depart
ment OF this paper within the last few
weeks that the Budget need only suggest
a reference to that other department
1t is an excellent thing to begin the
day with a glass of hot water, into which
the juice Of half a freshly cut lemon has
been squeezed. Oh, If hot water be too
distasteful, a glass OF cool water (not
ice water), with the Juice of one or two
oranges may be taken with advantage.
At least half an hour should elapse be-
fore breakfast. During the day the num-
Der of meals cannot be dictated, nor
should they conform to any but an indi-
vidual rule. What is important. for the
sake OF the complexion. is that a salad
should form part Of at least one OF them
and a large part, too. Vegetable salads
are good. and the carrot referred TO at
the beginning Of this paper may have its
place therein.
But not for internal purposes only Is
the vegetable world ransacked by the
seeker after beauty. a large lettuce leaf,
bound upon the forehead, when you have
the time to lie down for half an hour,
cools and refreshes the skin and conveys
pleasing moisture that IS excellent for

many women have to get accustomed.
Those to whom changes in millinery come
as a matter of course, INDUCED in with the
changes of the moon, have them carefully
adjusted by the miliner, with marks put in
so that a clever maid can put on the sacred
headgear with equal precision There Is
also the born coquette, who instinctively
pins and pats her hat into shape and
knows Just the angle it should assume to
present all the good points both Of the hat
and the wearer, but the average woman 70
whom a new hat is an event is likely to be
ra ther afraid Of anything startlingly new
i'm this direction. She is never quite sure
that people are not looking at it or that 1t
quite suits her"
These moments are the most frequent
and trying when there is direct and dras'
tic change in modes, and the coming sea-
son opens many reasons for doubt. The
changes in style are so very radical.
The low brim hats were rather COM

It was a little trying at first to have our
nea rest and dearest pass us on the streets
without recognition and to become aware OF
the fact that it was necessary to know the
hat before one could safely bow to the
wearer Of it. But it had a certain seclu-
sion and dignity. Also it covered multi
tude of sins in the way Of hair arrange

trine hard to give up these advantages.
The spring hats offer no such advantages
They turn up wildly and are so eccentric in
decoration and shape that it is impossible
that they shall escape notice. There are
no curving and shcltering brims. They are
wide they are haring and daring, and more
often than not what brm occurs turns up
in all sorts Of angles without wells they
will afford little protection indeed.

THE EASTER BONNET

for MANY Sins of Dress.

The theory of woman's insistence on an

It more lasting than the eternal mans love
of a joke. Women really love new head

the eye that we have little opportunity to
note the slightly worn gown.
A new hat seems often q manner OF

clever nurse, in despair Of arousing an in

patient, once a belle and beauty, hit on the
scheme Of having a number OF new hats
sent home rather late in the afternoon. The

them on "A good nights sleep followed,
