Complexion in Winter.

have talked abou. the various skin
treatments suitable for winter wealth
or. A great many letters have
reached me within the last few days
complaining of rough and ugly skin.
The sharp cold weather does 1t. Win
ter fogs and frosts are always hard
on the complexion until the skin is
acclimated.
Here is an ideal cold cream for win
ter use 1t is a little heavier than
most of the creams you buy. which,
after all, are nothing but cleansing
creams. AS this one contains veg
etabIe oil it will readily be absorbed
by the skin and 1t will protect 1t
against winter winds:
Fine Cold Cream.-Rose water, four
ounces; almond oil. four ounces; sper-
maceti, one ounce: white wax, one
ounce; benZoin, one drachm; borax,
thirty grains.
As this formula has been printed
before | have no doubt that many of
my readers are already familiar with
it. i prefer this one made with al
mond oil, but if you must be very eco
nomical, use olive oil, which is almost
as good This cream is made like any
other. The wax and spermacetf are
melted in the oil until they are just
blended, then the rose water, boraX
and benzoin "a little more than luke
warm) are added slowly. and the
whole is stirred and beaten until 1t
begins to CONCEAL. 1t is then poured
off into small jars.
If you are going out in very cold
weather a little of this cream should
lie rubbed well into the skin, wiped
uff with soft cloth or bit of cot
ron and the face powdered. Every
day when you are about to wash the
face, rub first with a little of this
cream, and then wash with warm
water and soap. Or use as massage
at night.

rightly, that the diet should be large-

Some of the foods to avoid or at

My Neighbor Says:

If a handful of common salt
is added to the rinsing water,
it keeps the clothes from freez-
ing.
To give a fine polish TO linen
use lukeWarm water instead of
cold to break down the starch.
When it has been reduced to
the required consistency by
boiling water. add a pinch Of
fine salt and stir several times
with wax candle. This will
make the iron run smoothly
and give a polish to the linen
that nothing else can impart.
After washing collars and
cuffs perfectly clean. leave
them in cold water till next
day. Make cold starch in the
usual way and wiring the ar
ticles through 1t twice. Then
dissolve two teaspoonfuls of
borax in hot water. let il cool,
and wiring the collars and cuffs
through that twice. Wrap
them in a clean towel and
mangle. Wait for a little time
before ironing. Iron on the
wrong side first, and then on
the right, pressing very evenly
SO as to produce good gloss.
A polishing iron is best. for
this.
Rhinestone buckles are clean
ed by moistening prepared
chalk with cold water. Dip
into this a dry, clean tooth
brush and rub the stones until
aIH dirt is removed. Then
brush with a dry brush. The
stones will look beautifully
