Let the beard grow for two or three
days, then apply this preparation "a.
night. Remove it the next morning
by giving a vigorous pull at the bottom
of the substance. Your face may trou-
BILE you more or less for some time
afterward, but your beard will never
grow again. at least not SO thickly.
For wrinkles, my experience shows
that il is well to apply a little putty
on the affected parts, working it well
in with a putty knife. Then cover
with a coat of alabastine, of color to
suit the taste. If you are blonde,
delicate pink is recommended. Or.
YOU can color your complexion to
match your wife, your wall paper,
your surroundings. your disposition, or
your religion. For example. drab for

This lotion has a double advantage.
1t gives the face that slippery appear
ance which any woman will tell you is
TO be expected at the hour of retiring,
by anyone who is a devotee of beauty
culture. Alas, when the lotion is re-
moved in the morning, it may be used
in the culinary department of your
household for amounting the kitchen
range, as it is an efficient rust remover
and metal renovator.
To wash your face in the morning
after you have applied this lotion, first
catch your face. If it eludes you, slip
ping from the hand, like money in a

of sand-paper. Use no hooks, though
a monkey-wrench may come in handy
if your wife can throw straight. If
your color is not sufficiently high. keep
a mustard plaster to your cheek for
from two TO three hours. Should you
have too much cheek for one plaster
try two. Never use a porous plaster
for this purpose. as il leaves the face
pimply or pitted on account of the
perforation. Never go to bed without |
first smearing something over your
visage. Always strive TO improve |
your personal appearance. Your life |
partner will take this as an infallible |

yourself young for her sake. There |
are households in which the husband |
has not seen the naked countenance
of his wife since their honeymoon. and |
never expects to again in this life.
Above all things in working for
good complexion. be careful about
your food and drink. Eat plenty OF
highly seasoned meats such as roast
pork and stuffed goose, with sailed
nuts, assorted bon-bons, chocolate
creams. a liberal allowance of French
pastry, and drink from four to ten
glasses of ice cream soda daily or lib
eral libations Of imported sweet wines
every waking hour during the day at
three minutes intervals. Six months
of this diet. taken in conjunction with
the preparations given above. is war
