Keeping Skin Clear.

There has been quite q littls discus
sion lately on the newest way Of keeping
the skin clear. That Is, by using oily
lotions on 1t, or else real cleansing
fluids, without oil, which penetrate
quickly into the pores and bring out
the dirt to the surface. These things,
by the way, seem to bring unsupported
dirt out Of the skin. AS q matter of
fact, they are always wiped of the face
with o towel or q cloth, therefore all
the grin1ineeS appears. When the face
IL washed with soap and large bowlful
OF water, the same amount of dirt may
come from the skin, but 1t will not show
nearly so much.
Houses which make beauty prepara-
tons are turning out cleansing creams
Of much lighter consistency than the old
sticky sort. The best cleansing cream
is little more than jellifled oil, II
may invent that expression-oil, with
just enough wax or spermaceti in 1t to
make 1t solid, yet so light in texture
that 1t n1eltS at low temperature, and
meltS at once at the touch of the skin.
These things will not clog the pores
so easily. am in favor of discarding
cleansing cream altogether and using
pure almond oil instead. The purest
oil has almost no smell Of almonds;
I prefer it to any perfumed mixture.

All she possessed was provided by her
parents and she moved in a prescribed

Christmas DoleS.

Nobody knows better than beggar
that Christmas Is harvest time for his
kind. Every one has the giving spirit,
and 1t Is difficult to resist the impulse
to slip some coins in the blind mans
or cripples cup. Some beggars are
regularly employed during the daytime
and they take up their stands at night
when shoppers and workers are hurry
ing home. Their receipts are often
Yesterday in an Eastern city beg
gar was ousted from town. 1t was
learned that he had $4,000 in the bank,
owned six houses and operated an au-
tonobile, which was driven by his
chauffeur. He was observed for an
hour before his arrest, and his receipts
in that single hour were almost $6.
Give at Christmas time If the spirit
moves you, but give sensibly to those
who are really in need and who deserve
your help. Street charity Is almost
invariably misplaced. Those in need Of
help know of the proper agencies to
which they can apply. Street beggars
are for the most part men and women
who find begging a profitable business.
It is natural to pity beggars In tatters
and threadbare garments, shivering
theatrically in the cold. OF course, 1t
is that very pity which the beggar
capitalizes. Many of them lead double
lives. In Paris the other day q beggar
woman left a fortune Of 100000
francs, which even at the present rate
of exchange is not much short Of an
American fortune.
Many beggars become their own VIC
Tins. They live the part of mendicants
so long that avarice becomes an obses-
sion. In Bohemia recently a woman
named Mikuleiska, wrapped In rags and
in the last stages of starvation, died
before medical treatment could save her
It was later found that she possessed
fortune and had apparently starved
herself through sheer avarice.
When you are moved by pity, give to
a regular fund, such as that organized
by q church, charitable organization,
