ISteamnq the Face Really Simple Beauty Process

apply a piece of ice to the skin to close the pores. If there's no erup- ton on your face, an excellent as- tringent lotion to apply is made of:
 Spirits of camphor. Il ounce
 Spirits of ammonia. .- Il ounce
 Alcohol. ......1 SlA
 Sea salt. 1-2 ounces
 Add enough boiling water to this mixture to make a pint.
 An Alternate Way.
 Bathe the face with the lotion, al- lowing it to dry on the skin. It's a wonderful tonic, and may bs used on the throat and arms also.
 Don't steam the face ioftener than once a week, for too frequent appli- cations will cause wrinkles and make the skin flabby.
 If carefully done, steaming will greatly improve the texture of the. skin, making it fine and soft.
 Should you find it impossible in your particular case to steam the face in this manner, the next best method is to apply towels dipped in extermely hot water. Wiring out the superf1uous water and lay them across the face, allowing them to re- main until they're cold. Repeat this until the pores are cleansed. Then bathe the face in cold water or apply ice as in steam bath.

GIVING CHINA'S BABIES A SQUARE DEAL
(By Belle Bennett, in World Outlook
 For MaV)

ADSAA+ASbN5
 For May)
 Eighty per cent of China's little ones die in early childhood and more than fifty per cent of the babies die at birth. Here is where the. woman doctor and the trained nurse come in. No mother, whatever her nationality, who had access to and advice from 8 woman doctor or well trained nurse, would call in witch doctor because her child had pain in his stomach. To cure such a pain a doctor drove three needles into a child's intestines to make holes through which the dev- ills might escape. The treatment pro- duced peritonitis, and the boy, a stur- dy little lad of eight or nine, died.
 The Mary Black Hospital, support ed by the Southern Methodist women, has treated many such patients, more injured by the practice of native doctors" than by disease.
 Except in cities where missionaries have been living for two or three gen. erations, no native man doctor ever delivers a woman All children are delivered by illiterate midwives who know nothing of cleanliness, anesthe- tics or the use of instruments. Their careless and ignorant methods are re- sponsibIe for the infection of from 80 to S5 per cent of the mothers. In- deed, infection is so common that one hospital in Shanghai is forced to main tain a separate ward for infected mothers, victims of the ignorance of midwives. Among their barbarous customs may be mentioned that of compelling every Chinese mother to sit up and keep awake for forty-eight hours after her child is born. Most of them faint from exhaustion and many of them die.
 The wretched practice of infanticide continues in the interior, where Chris tion civilization has not touched the people. In other places it is being somewhat reduced. But poverty abounds in China and iEfanticide is | largely an economic question. Num- bers of babies born in Christian hos l pitals have been sent out with their mothers well and strong. If, however, | they were not wanted by the father or the mother-in-la they were given no more nourishment after the moth CT reached home, but were allowed to starve to death. Others are drowned or poisoned. Baby towers are main tained throughout China to dispose of the bodies of unwanted children.
 These are some of the reasons why China needs thousands of trained

AUGUSTA EVANS WILSON.

One of the foremost American authoresses, Augusta Jane Evans Wilson, was born eighty-three years ago today in Columbus, Ga. Her childhood was spent for the greater part in San Antonio, Texas, which was then a frontier town and contin- uously living in fear of Mexican raids. As a matter of fact Augusta Wilson lived on the Mexican border for two years during the war with the Republic to the south of us, but in 1S49 moved with her family to Mobile, Ala Miss Evans was a zealous sympathizer with the South during the Civil War, and was un- sparing in her labor to advance the cause of the Confederacy. She was married in 1868 to L. M. Wilson of Mobile. She was the author of the famous novels "Beulah," "Macaria," ," "lnez," 'St. Elmo," and many others. Mrs. Wilson died in 1900.

BvLUCREZAI BORI
The Famous Spanish Prima Do1

Remove the cream with soft tow el, so the dust and the grease will come off together-then apply an- other layer of cream and with the finger tips massage the flesh. Use vigorous, rotary strokes over the en- tire surface, making the upward half of the stroke the stronger. Con- tinue the massage treatment for eight or ten minutes.
 When the water begins to steam, bend the face over it and cover the head and the pan with a towel, so the steam will be held about the face. Soon the precipitation will begin to flow freely, and the face should again be wiped with a soft towel
 Repeat the Process.
 Steam the face again, and again remove the precipitation. Repeat until the skin is thoroughly cleansed Devote at least 15. or 20 minutes to the steaming process.
 After this dry the face and bathe it with cold water, or, better still,

recting complexion ills. The pro- cess is really so simple that there's no reason why every woman should not do it in her own home.
 First, you need pan or a basin with a large surface, which can be placed over an alcohol lamp or a gas flame if the latter is low, so that the face can be easily held over the pan.
 The water must be kept just below the boiling point, for boiling steam will burn the skin. There must be however, enough heat to keep up a good volume of steam in order to promote precipitation, so the pores are thoroughly cleansed.
 When you've prepared everything for the steam bath, cover the face with a thick coat of cleasing cream.

WEDDING RINGS.

The platinum wedding ring is fast replacing the gold one. This is a natural consequence of the popular platinum engagement ring. The gold wedding ring will not look well with it. Realizing this fact, one engaged girl was in a quandary. She liked the effect of the platinum wedding ring, but felt she wouldn't feel real ly, truly married with any but a gold one!

POPULAR VESTS.

The vest motif seems unavoidable this Spring-at least no blouse seems to have been able to get away from 1t. Some blouses have vests as broad as waistcoats; in other models the
 vest is mere inch wide line of con- trasting fabric down the center front and, of course, this contrasting fabric is apt to appear in collar and cuffs.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS

Place a pan full of lighted char coal in middle of room and throw over it two handfuls of juniper ber- ries, shut the windows and doors for day and paint smell will disappear, The advantage of this is that you will not have to remove tapestry or fur niture, as the smoke of the juniper berries is not injurious to them.
 To mend glass or china. Mix the white of an egg with flour to form a paste, put on the edges and join together and leave until dry.
 When the window shade falls off the rod take a shoe string, or any kind of strong tape, and put the tack through it. No matter if the child ren pull on it, or the spring breaks, it will not tear off again.
 Save all tins used in the household, from condensed milk to tomato can sizes, and keep handy to the cellar coal bin.
 Every night after the furnace or heater is fixed for the night, fill two or three of these cans full of the fin est of the coal and place on the top of the fire in such a way that the open ends meet. The contents of these cans will burn slowly all night, throwing out extra heat, which grad ually opens and reduces the tins to scraps, which can easily be removed in the morning, leaving a bed of red hot coals.
 This idea also works equally well in both kitchen range and parIor stoves by using the smaller tins.
