 "l OR bath purposes the hesh
 brush should take the place of @ flannel. Indeed. the vigorous
 use of the flesh brush'or glove may be recommended as an effective substitute for a bath where the latter is not at hand, as the rough glove or brush cleanses the skin of small par ticles which are apt to cling to it from the clothing that is in daily contact with the body.
 " NE of the most frequent ques-
 tions asked the beauty special- S ist is: How can I remove
 superfuous hair?" The only certain way is by electrolysis. She reconcile herself to rather severe pain for the moment. The electric needle is inserted to the depth of the hair root and the patient has to endure the burning of the current for about half a minute.
 kNl URING the reign of the Empress MN Eugenie bathing in milk was s practiced by every fashionable
 beauty who could afford the luxury. This custom was carried. to such an extent that there became a great scarcity of milk for domestic purposes until at length the police dis covered that the vendors were in the habit of buying back the milk which had been used in the bath and selling 1t over again to their tea and coffee drinking customers.
 "ll HILDREN'S hands are often W disfigured by warts and they Al can be cured in simple way.
 Get hartshorn and sweet oil of equal mixture and paint the warts with this each day. It is slow, yet thoroughly satisfactory. Acetic acid touched to the most tenacious warts will, in time, kill them, and they can be easily removed. Most children. however, object to your cutting even the dead part away, since they have a fear of it's hurting. After removing warts wash the parts with a weak so- lution of carbolic acid. A drop of per oxide of hydrogen in the cavity will cleanse all impurities. Do not believe in such absurd things as superstitious
 
 warts, for warts are almost as difficult to remove as teeth, and the foolish mo- tion which has ever prevailed of caus- ing them to disappear through some magic is not to be thought of in this enlightened age.
 i" ERE are some beauty rules pre- HU scribed by a famous specialist. Nt "All who desire clear skin
 must give the skin an air bath daily. This means to sit with the clothes off for an hour a day, with the sun playing upon the body. A warm sun parlor is one of the absolute re- quisites of this daily skin bath. Give your feet an air bath twice day. Take off your shoes and stockings and sit with your feet bare, resting them upon an old-fashioned foot warmer or upon a bag of hot sand or even upon a rub Der hot-water bag. All who desire a nice throat and neck must sit with the throat and peck bare part of the day. The necks of morning dresses should be cut low and to a point and the throat and chin must be stunned and aired. Nothing hurts the flesh of the neck like covering it with starched col- lars and stiff stocks." Loose clothing is requisite of the skin bath. In Paris. where a woman simply must be lovely, they are taking new kind of beauty treatment. Instead of dress ing in ordinary everyday clothing. or even in the comfortable negligee. they wear some loose drapery. and th~~ tbay give thA akin A AA~-~~
