Mucn 0epeHQs upOF "tidA hfttA VI q complexion one has to begin with and, as I have said before, upon the state of one's health. Bleaching To- tions cannot make A bilious woman beautiful any more than danc'ug les sons will make svay-backed. round shouIdered person graceful.
 4 good treatment for a thick, mud dy skin that needs softening and stim- ulation is to bathe it occasionally with very hot water in which spoonful each of bora< and powdered 7umice has been stirred. When the face has been we'll steamed and bathed in this solution, dry with soft cloth, then massage with cold cream. Allow the cream to remain on the face about ten minutes before applying cold water. Use ice water. if possible, or even a piece of ice. Do not rub che face. The cold plunge Is merely to close the pores. Dry carefully with a soft cloth and dust lightly with powder. Those who try this method once or twice a week will oe surprised at the improvement 1t 8ill make both in the texture and appearance of the skin.
 Great ca e should be taken in the selection of face powder The cost of the DO e. and the elaborate box in which i6 is packed are 10 guarantee of it's excellence. Some face powders seem 10 dry ID and absorb the Hataf- al oil of the sia to such an extent that t looks dry and seamy, eyen though smooth to the touch OtAe=s are g5 heavy and greasy that theT aD- pear like a paste Each in4ivi iual should select the powder best suitel [, her skin The varying shades of brunette powders now obtaiHable make t possible to suit almost any complexion.
 h my opinion there is no excuse for blaekheads. Care and cleanliness will prevent their appearance. Steam ing and massage will remove them. The application of too much grease to the face will promote the growth of q soft down, not in the least beautiful and decidedly difficult to remove.
 Greasing the brows and lashes with cold cream or yaseline will in- crease their growth and brushing will keep them smooth. The continued use of cosmetics will, in any face, sooner or later leave traces which nothing will remove and nothing but more cosmetic and veil will cover. Women who depend entirely upon ar tifieial means of beauty are those who are veritable seareerows when un- adorned, who shrink behind doors when unexpectedly interviewed in the early morning and who cannot take part in any amusements or athletics where makeup is useless or out of place.
 A dry, scaly skin is often caused by insufficient fat and poor circulation of the blood. For such cases all lotions which contain alcohol or ether, borax, ammonia, mercury, zine, or other in yredients of like nature should not be ased A mixture of glycerine and eosewater, on the contrary, will be found beneficial because of it's smooth and soothing qualities.
 I asked man if he considered 1t q waste of time for women to give so much thought and attention to their personal appearance.
 T do not" he replied, promptly. ..l am a business man and speak from business standpoint A woman, to be successful in any business or pro fession, needs to cover her age as begin to consider her passe, she might as well give up. l regret to say it. but I know it is true. People will contradict me. but facts bear out my statement"
