Her complexion she keeps as tresn ano
clear and free from lines as a oaoee oS
outward mud baths. Her figure che keeps
supple and as thin as she wishes by IN
ward baths Of milk. That Is all, but when
you hear how these simple things are et-
fected you will understand that the COM
plex may be the apparently simple.
Great discoveries have been made by
simple means. Isaac Newton lolling on
the grass saw an apple fall and wonder

law of gravitation- Nine Aida, or, II you
prefer, Nine Gatti-Casazza, while taking
commonplace mud baths for unromantic
rheumatism, noticed that you could tell
how long a visitor had been taking the
baths by the state Of her complexion. II

was yellowish OF Of graylsh tone II she
had been there week II was mottled with
red showing that the powerful mud was

Therefore, SO reasoned the prima donna,
IL taking the mud baths for the body so
improves the complexion what would not
regularly washing the face In mud do

Behold her. then, every ten days In COM

Her maid brings to her a bottle of gray

toilet table she lays a brush like that with
which Signor Gatti-CasaZZa, her husband.
Is lathered of a morning by his barber.
Or If it Is her whim she may call for her
own complexion brush, one of camels hair,
the size OF baby's brush, and with a
small white handle
Lying on her towel covered pillow and
with her hair tied back IN another towel,
she dips the brush into the bottle and be-
gins painting her neck with II, commenc-
ing at the point OF tho collar bone and
painting always upward. EoT the purpose
Of the mud Is not only TO clear the COM

chin the brush passes with long, sweeping g.
curving strokes upward and across th'
forehead. Even the eyelids are slightly
coated with II, great care oeing taken tha
