At this season 1t is well to con slider cold creams. says the famous beauty. Mime Lima Cayalieri in the New York American. The women who have never used them would do well to begin using them. If the cold cream you have heen using Is not satisfying if it leaves your face looking withered with tn" peculiarly haggard appearance of the faded rose leaf, you are not using the right sort for your peculiar needs.
 For the extremely dry skin I rec oauueud this feeding cold cream:
 White wax ..........2 ounces
 Spermaceu ............3 ounces
 Almond oil ..........S ounces
 Refined lard ..........5 ounces
 Water ................6 ounces
 oil of bergamot ......10 drops
 Altar of roses ........10 drops The objection to that recipe, that it contains animal fat, is met |! the substitution of this:
 Cotton seed oil ........15 ounces
 Spermaceti ..........3l1 ounces
 White wax ..........312 ounces
 Oil of lavender ........12 drops
 Rose water ..........S ounces For the flabby skin, that requires an astringent, may be recommended this:
 Oil of almonds ..........2 pintS
 Rose water ............2 pints
 White wax ........2 ounces
 Pulverized camphor ....4 ounces
 Oi. of rosemary .......,2 dramS For skin that is dry and irri table, as the sensitive skin is liable to become when exposed in the summer, this is useful:

Bruise the Quince seed and steep for three hours Strain through cheesecloth or other strain ing cloth. Add the glycerine, car bolic acid and glycerine of starch, and thoroughly mix. Pour the CO., logne and oil of lavender into the alcohol Add these to the rest Of the mixtures and shake well. Also shake before using.

 Sweet milk ..........1 teacupful
 The juice of one lemon.
 Let it stand until it curdles Ap- ply it to the face and throat with absorbent cotton as soon as you come in after being in the suns rays; also before retiring.
