A Good Complexion

The secret of good complexion Is
confided to his lady friends by an emI.
pent physician in these words: Tho
woman who would have beautiful
complexion must live plainly, avoiding
rich meats, too much game, rich wines
and highly seasoned made dishes. Why

.are among the wealthy classes? The
wealthy have frequently fine features,
but the complexion is apt to be very
coarse, or very sallow and faded.
Why? Simply because they sit up late
thus losing the health giving morning
air; they feed too richly, they dress
too fashionably, being often swathed
in furs at two o'clock in the afternoon
and having ne~' to no clothing on a.
twelve p. m. And yet experts tell us
the skin, to remain clean and soft,
must not be exposed to extremes OF
heat and cold. must not have its
healthy perspiration checked bv sud.
den drafts. Who can wonder that tina
quieter women Of the middle classes
are the ones who possess .he best
compilations.
