 All outdoor exercises improve the complexion through strengthening the heart and deepening the breathing. Playing tennis, golf, rowing, and even skipping and running are good for the girl who has an inactive skin.
 Going up and down stairs Is a good exercise for indoor and so is walking about the room on tiptoes, morning and night, willie dressing. Some ex. ercises especially develop the legs and at the same time reduce the size of the hips.
 The rheumatic pains girls who grow fast often feel are sometimes due to an over-abundance of tactic acid in the blood. Plain food, exercise and tepid bathing is the necessary regi- men for the cure.
 Exercise carried to excess-until one feels at times absolutely idiotic from fatigue-is as bad as none at all. Per- haps it is worse so far as active re- suits are concerned, for excessive use 1 of muscles weakens the brain. At the same time too much use of the mind wastes the muscular ecoHomy of the body. So the girl who wants to be we'll an fair to look upon must neith- CT play nor work too long. She must divide her time between the two, and 1 judge for herself whether her health is being benefited or injured.
 i The girl who is looking for bright, wholesome skin, clear eyes, slim, pretty figure, a merry heart and the ambition to "do things" must never 1 neglect the functions of nature. Slug gish bowels are responsible for horde of complexion defects and mental mis- cry, while an insufficient quantity of pure drinking water will harm the kid l neys. Castor oil is a marvellous i'm proyer of the complexion, and for ordi- nary use mixture of figs and senna is excellent. Get five cents worth of ] the senna and pound of dried figs and stew the two together, adding sugar and a bit of lemon peel for pal atable taste. Take a teaspoonful of the mixture on going to bed at night T Freckles and sunburn can be treat
 ed to advantage with sour milk, anA
 the wash will be more efficacious if il
 holds teaspoonful of benzoir or a
 few drops of peroxide Fresh fcucum-
 Der juice is also good for either blight,
 as well as lettuce water. Stew the
 vegetables in as little water as is pos
 sible, and then use the strained liquid as lotion after the cleansing bath.
 It is no use to study the latest fash.
 ions in coiffures if a girl does not keep
 her hair in a neat and healthy condi. , tion. In dusty districts, the locks
 should be washed once month, but
 the quality of the hair must decide
 upon what the constituents of the
 shampoo must be. Dry hair will re-
 spuEd badly to alkalies-hard soap, soda and ammonia-and after the
 most favorable washing the scalp
 needs to be massaged with little
 olive oil. Damp or oily hair and moist
 scalps will admit of little borax in the washing water, and it would be an { advantage to massage the scalp when
 the hair is dry with a little alcohol or
 bay rum. Curling irons ruin the hair
 in time, and so will rough combing Groom your hair as tenderly as if 1t were baby's, passing the comb down the locks with slow, even strokes and avoiding snapping it outward at the ends of the hair. Use kid curriers' ol l soft rags for the crimping.
 Don't worry because you cannot buy an expensive face powder. Save uI the pennies until you have ten cents l and then get little plain rice pow der, or several Jumps of magnesia : at the druggists; pound either o1
 these mediums until 1t is almost dust sift it through coarse muslin, and then
 put the powder in box which can be covered, and spend your time thinking where you can get little bunch oi
 sweet fresh flowers for nothing. Rose , leaves. jessamine, gardenias, and every : other richly-scented flower can be f used for pertaining the face powder
 Break off the petals of the blooms
 and shut them up in the box with
 the powder for two weeks, occasionally
 shaking it around, but never opening l 1t. At the end of the two weeks you , will find face powder of the ex
 Quisite baby variety.
 g Cold cream of very useful sort car Q be made of fresh leaf lard in some oi
 the cold, filtered water you drink. re '' newing the water several times. and keeping up the whipping until the lari
 is feathery. Then wash it of in the coldest water you can procufe-stil
 filtered-and perfume 1t with a few ,, drops of extract. Keep in colo Q place. Instead of the extract, rosewa
 ter, which is excellent for the skin : may be used.
