Their benefit OF softening and cleansing.
After being out i'm sun and wind battle the
face and neck thoroughly in water as hot
as can be borne. then wash with mild
soap, rinse in tepid water and dash lightly
with the coolest water at hand Dry with
a soft towel, patting, not rubbing, away
the moisture; then apply a good cold
cream, a generous coat let 1t stay on If
teen minutes and wipe off with a wisp Of
fine old lawn or linen. Go over face and
throat and arms with second cloth; what
remains after this second wiping will keep
the skin soft, yet not stimulate the growth
OF hairs. in the morning wipe the face
with a soft cloth holding the least sus-
picion of mild soap; wash we'll in clear
water, cold or tepid as preferred, pat dry
aud powder very lightly.
Powder is q benefacton-it takes away
the shine that hardens even the most beau
tiful features Put on plenty of 1t, then
wipe the face with a clean, soft cloth
thus there is nothing OF the whited sepul-
chre left about you. Comb out your hair,
using a clean, coarse comb, and pile 1t
very loosely upon the top of your head Let
It stay there until YOU make a street or
AFTERNOON toilet. This letting it lie loose
is good for It. as it is for you. \ single

too scant TO look well. stick a coquettisn

with a pleated frill can be made at cost
OF 10 cents and will look well through a
whole winter If rightly used.

no mistakes. She knows when roses add
to her handiwork, also what colors In hair
and eyes and skin they coarsen and vul-

l counsel these lily ladies: Paint your
selves but do ii we'll"
Almost every day l see girls in their
teens raddled and whltened until they
might serve as signboards for somebody s
patent kalsomine. They make me inf
nitely sorry-bad taste always does that.
They are defacing so hopelessly the vir-
ginal charm of youth. Makeup belongs
to those who need IT, On the stage 1t Is
a necessity. no matter how we'll colored
the players. Footlight glares make them
hideous unless they are painted so as TO
counterfeit the glaring. This the young
lings, l fear, do not realize. Because Miss
So-and-So looks so beautiful in her stage
makeup they try to look like her, at least
TO the extent Of grease paint. Then, too,
I think many of them hope to be mistaken
as of the stage Ruskin said truly: The
strongest human passion is the passion for
distinction" Depend on It, dear girls there
is no longer distinction in paint.
