Mrs. J. A. w.-Your loose stamp was
not in the letter, and to be sure of q
mailed reply, it is best to send a self
addressed, stamped envelope. While I
am glad to hear you have been so bene-
f1ted by reading the Chats" do feel
you should 60 to a doctor and have a
thorough diagnosis Of your case. Your
skin, and perhaps your health, will be
cause for these eruptions that leave
brown spots following in their trail. It
Is easy enough to see that nature Is
working very hard for you to keep your
health, and that Is the reason you have
carbuncies, boils, watery eruptions, Itch
ing and all the other wretched symp-
toms. Go to a good doctor and get at
the cause Of this trouble.
Facial Massage.
Facial massage is stimulating to the
skin, 1t feeds, it oils from cold cream,
which Is always good for it Except in
one or two cases to be mentioned later) =
it stirs the circulation of the blood, it
is generally rejuvenating.
You can massage without cream:
some people use fine talcum powder,
since 1t, as well as cream, makes the
skin temporarily smooth enough for
the fingers to slip over it. But pre-
fer the cream always, since it is
lubricant. For If the skin is too oily,
the cream can be washed out after the
massage with hot water or even water
and a cloth soaped with CASTLE, then
rinsed, dried and treated with ice.
Few women know a thing about facial
massage movements. think it is just
as well, for If you go in for that sort
Of thing, you should take a regular
course under some one holding a GER
ti1cate as q qualified masseur. other
wise you can pull your face around in
several harmful ways. Far better to
remember this-all motions from the
lower part of the face are upward and
outward toward the ear: this to lift
sagging muscles; all motions on the
forehead are from the center out. All
motions around the eyes begin at the
nose, go over thee eyelids, around the
crowsfeet and then under the eyes to
the nose again. The chin is massaged
by stroking under 1t, down into the
neck.
1t Is far better, think, to tap or
slap the face all over. You can buy
rubber patters, you can make substi-
tute ones. You can even use your nm
gers for patting. This stimulates as
much as massage and there is no dan
ger Of pulling the skin and making
weak muscles weaker. Add to this hot
and cold water and your massage is
sufficiently stimulating.
M. K-The most satisfactory way Of
filling out hollows anywhere is to build
up in health, as it always comes back
to that. even though you may gain a

Miss g. W.-Try lemon Juice or the
Juice of cucumber to remove the tan
from your arms and face. Your skin

M. p. R.-A simple exercise to cor

needle used on the most CONSPICUOUS
