l once heard a discussion between
two women concerning the habit Of
powdering the face. Both women had
as nearly perfect compilations as /
have ever seen, although neither OF
them was under 40. The elder of the
two was a pronounced blonde with Il
skin of fine texture and without 4
blemish. She was deploring the fact
that the present generation of young
women had the habit of powdering the
skin. She argued against the use of
powder as impeding the full action of
the skin.
The other N smiled sweetly and
replied that she had never known a
day in her life when she had not
either powdered or been powdered,
since both her mother and grand
mother had believed in it as a protec-
ton to the skin. Il would not feel
clean without it." she emphasized
well, l would not feel clean with it,
was the reply. Both of these women
had excellent health, and were inter,

of bedrooms on each side. Down the
