almond cream
The face should be massaged with this
every night and on returning from a par
ticularly long and dusty trip during the
day. After working the cream into the
face and wiping II on with soft bits OF
linen, wash the face thoroughly with
just as hot water as you can bear. and
then apply the following cucumber To-
ton, allowing It to dry on the skin: on
of sweet almonds, 4 ounces; fresh Gu
cumber juice, 10 ounces; essence Of Gu
cumbers. ounces; white CASTLE soap,
powdered. 1-2 ounce; tincture Of benzoin,
2-3 drachm.
The juice Of cucumbers is obtained by
boiling, them in very little water.
Slice them very thin, skin and all. and
let them cook slowly till soft and mushy;
strain through q fine sieve and then
through a cloth. Make the essence by
putting an ounce and half OF the
Juice onto the same quantity OF high
proof alcohol. Put the essence with the
soap in a large jar or bottle-the larger
the better, as the mixture requires much
shaking. After a few hours, when the
soap is dissolved. add the cucumber
juice. shake until thoroughly mixed then
pour out into an earthen bottle and add
the oil and the benzoin. stirring con-
stantly till you have a creamy liquid. Be
sure that the cucumber juice is strong

The girl with a tendar skin should
use nothing stronger than these 20 re-

or so her skin will be quite white once
more.
Instead OF soap, both girls. she with
the fine. tender skin and she with the
oily skin may use instead Of soap al
mond meal
In addition to this. the oily skin, which
is most unattractIve when tanned and
burned. should be treated with astrin-
gents. After washing the face with a

you scattered almond meal. rinse II in
tepid water containing a few drops OF

ing, regular manicuring is essential.
Every day. the nails must be treated,
and especially the skin VI little pockets

nails are present, they must be cut close
to the flesh with very sharp, curved
scissors which come for this purpose,
and then treated with pure white vase
line. If you find it necessary to return

finger over the sore nail and give the
vaseline chance to do its healing work
II the nails have become very brittle,
apply this pomade at night, wearing very
large, old kid gloves over the hands:
Pistache oil, y ounce; table salt, 80
grains: powdered resin, 3 grains; pow
dered alum, % grains: white wax, 50
grains; carmine, 2 grains.

are very uneven and unsightly, and
should be treated at once.
II you have discolorations on the nail,
touch the spots with pure lemon juice
or peroxide of hydrogen.
II the skin is cracked and these
cracks discolored, a simple oxide of
zinc ointment will effect a cure. To
make this use the following formula:
Spermaceti, 2 1-2 ounces; white wax. /
ounce; almond oil, 1-2 pint
Place the spermaced and wax in
double boilef, but DO not allow the
water in the under part to boil, sim
ply to get hot enough to gradually melt
the wakes. When this has been &C.
complished. add the almond oil very
gradually, stirring all the while. Meas
ure this mixture carefully by table
spoons and add to it, just one-sixth of
its bulk in oxide OF zinc That is, IL
you have twelve tablespoons of pomade
you must add only two of oxide of zinc.
To twenty-four tablespoons of pomade,
you add four tablespoons of the zinc. Ap-
ply this pomade to the hands every night
before retiring and wear over II old,
loose gloves. The hands win heal quick
ly and become beautifully firm and white
provided land this proviso Is most i'm
portanO you do not Immediately expose
your hands to rough work during the
day. There is absolutely no reason why
woman should not train herself to do
rough work in gloves. One excuse Of
fered is that they retard work. This
is because the woman wears too tight a
glove. Have them loose, and wear
them at first for sweeping, dusting. and
tending fires. When you have accus-
toned yourself to doing this sort Of work
in old cotton or kid gloves, you will be
able to train yourself to wear the loose
rubber gloves when washing dishes,
scrubbing, etc. And IL you are not
willing to train yourself TO working
with such protection for your hands.

cence can give you for your indifference

THE HOUSE AFTER
CANDLE LIGHT

Give most attention to the comfort
and coziness OF your rooms during the
evening hours" was the advice of a
matron to q young bride in a maze of
doubt as to what was most essential in
the furnishing OF hssr small new home.
1t has always been my policy to make
the living rooms most attractive when
all the family are using them, and
as my husband and boys are down.
town during the day, this means during
the hours after sundowu. Have your
house radiate cheer and complete con-
trast to the grayness OF once walls
of workaday hours. This is one Of the
secrets OF keeping your husband fond
Of his home"
To the up-to-date homemaker this
question OF making the house attractive
after the dinner hour Is q most i'm
portant one. and the shading of arti-
ficial light is the secret OF the room
beautiful when Old Sol is out Of sight
OF the four methods by which this Is
accomplished. the oil lamp is the cozi-
est, and for practical purposes. the most
artistic. Especially in winter nights Il
sheds warm glow over a room and
a good book or the evening paper un-
der its steady light Il enjoyed in solid
comfort
In their decoration, the modern lamps
are as much a part Of the room they
light as are the table and chairs that
furnish IT. An outcome OF the popular
mission furniture is the iron lamp OF
duh black finish. Shaped on similar
severe lines also. its oil vessel is per
fectly square. while from it rise curv-
ing iron standards. Rather small iron
chains are suspended from these and
hold tn four corners Of a readed glass

and reds, and shaped like the square

TO GET YOUR HANDS IN SHAPE

To begin with. II you have l'ed the un-
gloved outdoor life, your hands will be
either tanned or roughened. For the
ordinary tan, use an almond powder for
washing instead OF soap. A very good
formula for such a powder is this:
Blanched almonds Cpowd'sred). ounces;
cuttle-fish bone (pulverizkd), ounces;
orris rot powdered, ounces; oil OF
cloves, l 1-2 drachm.
You can have the four ingredients
first named ground or pulverized by
your druggist, or you can grind them
in a mortar il you make a practice of
mixing your own toilet articles. When
ready to combine the ingredients, mix
the orris root with the almonds, then
add the scented oils, stirring very
slowly, THEN at the last, the powdered
soap and cuttle-fish. Keep in a jar
with a perforated. top and shake this
into your wash rag or flesh brush in
stead of soap, every time you wash.
Use warm. not hot or cold water. Incl
dentaIly, If you have no perforated lid
at hand, you can get a useful sub
stitute at any housefurnishing store,
a large salt shaker with ceIluloid top
that is perforated. CeIluloid is better
than metal for this purpdse.
When freckles of a superficial char
actSer result from exposure to the sun,
peroxide of hydrogen will sometimes
effect a quick cure. Keep the peroxide
. in a dark bottle Cblue or brown in a
dark place. Touch the fr|eckles night
and morning with a small camels hair
brush dipped into the peroxide, and do
not wipe the latter on.
II the freckles .alse deep-seated, a
lotion containing an acid is often nee
essary. Here is one that is highly recon-
mended: Laetic acid, 4 ounces; glycerine,
, ounces; rose-wat'sr. l ounce.
Massage the hands thoroughly, exer-
cising them into a free perspiration, then
apply the lotion with a soft cloth or
with brush. Allow ii TO dry on.
In using any freckle remover that con-
tains- acid, the fhands are apt to become
Redeemed or a little sore. To counteract
this condition, wear old gloves at night
and before putting them on rub cold
cream well into the hands.
When the finger tips are in bad shape
from outdoor work, and it is remark
able how, many women neglect their
hands in their enthusiasm for garden

20 LESSEN THE SUMMERS TAN.

The summer girl is now paying the
price OF her holiday indiscretions.
Tan, so attractive and fetching on the
outdoor girl during July and August
somehow looks coarse and unfeminine by
comparison with decolette evening frocks.
Having fully impressed our friends with
the fact that we led the simple outdoor
life during the summer, We will now
proceed to get rid OF all evidence there
of, and acquire the proper city. hot
house complexion.
To start with ordinary tan or rough
ness, two sorts Of treatments are neces-
sary. For the dry, tender skin of fine
texture, creams and emuIsions will do
the work. The coarse-grained. large
pored, oily skin requires an entirely diff
ferent treatment, including the use OF
astringents For the tender skin. en-
