MILADY BEAUTIFUL
BIZ LOIS LEEDS.

bination Of the two Is perhaps the very
best method Of all for the average skin.
At night Is the best time for a thor
ough cleansing, but If the face becomes
soiled during the day it should be
cleansed then, also, especially If fresh
makeup is to be applied. Dirt allowed
to remain on the skin is pretty apt to
seep deep into the pores, and every
beauty seeker knows that it takes eter-
nal vigilance to prevent this condition.
In a combination of the cream and
soap and water cleansing the first step
is to apply cleansing cream over the
entire face and neck. Choose a light,
oily cream which will go deep down
into the pores, and let 1t remain on for
two or three minutes. Remove with a
soft piece of cloth or tissue and then
wash the face and neck with warm
water and soap, working the soap into
lather on the face cloth before apply
ing to the skin. Rinse thoroughly In
several tepid waters and finally in cold
water.
There are times when it Is wise to
dispense with the soap and water clean
ing. For instance, If one has spent the
day In motoring and the skin feels par
ticularly sensitive, 1t may be cleaned
entirely with cream, as the soap and
water may prove too harsh. In such a
case use several = coatS OF the cream,
allowing each TO remain on the skin for
q short time before removing. The skin
may be considered clean when there Is
no soil on the tissue used to remove the
cream. After this cleansing a skin
tonic or mild astringent may be gently
patted on the skin to remove any trace
or feeling Of greasiness. Saturate q
piece Of clean absorbent cotton with
the lotion and pat the face gently
with 1t.
The following lotion is good one for
the average skin and 1t may be used be-
fore applying foundation cream or with
soap and water: Orange flower water,
four ounces; tincture of benzoin, five
drops; powdered borax, one-half tea
spoonful; cologne water, one ounce.
Dissolve the borax in the orange flower
water and add the benzoin drop by
drop to the cologne water. Shake well
together.

any one Of the above designs from the
paper and transfer 1t to the card by
positioning it above the card and run
ming over all lines with not-too-sharp
pencil. Place piece of carbon paper
between card and tracing paper before
using the pencil. Tint the design with
water colors. Several color schemes
are given below. Outline the designs
with fine pen dipped in India ink
The cost of this ink Sis little, and its
advantages are that it does not spread,
run or fade, and gives true black
line.
To be realistic, the holly wreath
should have green leaves and red ber-
ries. For purely decorative purposes,
however, this scheme can be varied and
the whole done in metal paint. The
leaves may be Of silver with gold ber-
ries, or the two elements can be In any
preferred contrasting tones either of
metal paint or water colorS. AS has
been suggested, the green and red is
true to nature and true to the tones
of Christmas greens. Make a tiny in
cision in the card where O bow should
come and run a short length Of mar
row red ribbons or fancy Christmas
ribbon or one with a. color harmonic
ing with whatever schemes you have
done the wreath in. Tie the ribbon in
a bow. Letter the words "Merrie Christ
for the greeting. Transfer the letters
from those in the illustration, II you
cannot do good lettering freehand, and
beneath write from. and sign your
name. Or position the wreath in the
center Of the card high enough for the
lettering to come beneath and balance
well.
Another group of cards can be
made using the tree design, positioning
il in either of the ways above de-
scribed. Tint the pot red, tree green,
trunk brown, candles red, tipped with
yellow in the flame space. When out
lining the design in India ink put in
the tiny straight flame section in ink
to indicate the wick. A second color
scheme iS,-tree and tree trunk as
above, flower pot orange yellow band
ed and trimmed with blue. Use vari-
Gus colors for the candles with flame
and wicks as above. A third scheme
Is: Tree and trunk as above, pot Or
child. band and rim yellow, candles of
the three colors pink, white and orchid
with flame yellow and wick back. In
all these schemes the round spots
which indicate ornaments should be
in metal paints of any chosen variety
OF colors, although water color can be
used If no metal paints is available.
The candlestick with holly leaves
permits of many color schemes as-red
candlestick, white candle, green holly
leaves, red berries; or black candle
stick, red candle, green holly leaves and
red berries;-or yellow stick, black
candle, holly as above;--or blue stick
with either red, yellow or white candle
and holly as above. The flame and
wick should be done in yellow with
black wick in each instance.

There are, of course, q thousand or
so scalp treatments, most Of them harm
less and some of them good. You can't
actually kill of the dandruff germ If 1t
has good hold upon your scalp, but
you can get rid of 1t for a time, and
you can always keep it in a harmless
state. That is, you never quite give up
the fight against it: but If 1t is a fight
that goes in your favor, you should not
mind. In any case, you must keep fight
ing dandruff, or the germ wins and you
lose your hair.
One very good ointment to use Is sui
phur. You can make it yourself by
adding enough oil to q heaping table,
spoonful Of sulphur to make a thick,
smooth cream. Massage this into your
scalp at night, parting the hair and
rubbing the ointment well into the skin.
Then tie up the hair to protect your bed
linen and let the stuff soak into the
scalp at night.
Next day, as sulphur is hard to get
out, beat an egg slightly, spread over
the scalp and hair and let 1t dry on.
Rinse of with warm water and then
shampoo the hair as usual, using liquid
soap. Use 1t three times on the scalp

and then rinse thoroughly with hot and
cool water.
This Is q splendid treatment once q
week. Crude oil can be substituted for
the ointment: 1t Is very good, though
think the sulphur better. And oil Of
cade, which is part Of so many scalp
preparations and which smells like tar,
Is also very good.
With any of these an egg shampoo
Is almost necessary. 1t is very hard to
wash thick oil or grease out of the scalp
and impossible II you have hard water
to wash with. But the egg gathers all
this sticky stuff up, binds 1t In with the
egg white, and when the egg is washed
of most Of the grease comes with it.

for the night, or youu have q ruined

Ny Neighbor Says:

When blankets are TO be wash
ed for the first time, they should
be soaked overnight in cold water
and then rinsed. This is to re-
move the sulphur used in bleach
ing. After this they should be
soused until clear in a lukeWarm
lather made with boiled soap and
water and then rinsed well in

A simple way to remove iron
rust is TO use salt, lemon and
sunshine. Apply the salt and

the downfall of the dynasty Twice in later
days these towns experienced q similar fate,
their complete desertion falling in the fifth
Christian century
Thus the task Of Psychologists who would
study the small-town life of Egypt at a given
period is simplified if they select the ruins
of one of these towns in the Faiyum. 1t had
definite beginning and definite end, and
the situation is not complicated by finding
manifold layer beneath layer of antiquity. as
would be the in almost any village in the
Nile Valley proper, where the same sites have
been inhabited from Neolithic times down to
the present day.
The town of Karanis, which the University
of Michigan expedition selected as a specimen
city for its investigation. had population of
perhaps 5000 in its best days. Dr. A. E. r.
Boak, who initiated the work which is still
being carried on. says he expects after further
study to know exactly how many taxable peo-
pie lived there during at least one period in the
towns history, and even to know their names.
Among the papyri recovered from the ruins
are numbers of tax lists
Egyptian officialdom has held the all-time
world championship in ingenuity and thorough
less of taxation schemes, and it is a pretty safe
bet that no person or piece of property in
Karanis ever escaped the assessors. After DR..
Boak has had time enough to pore over sheet
after sheet of cracked papyruS, he will know
more about the KaranianS of 1000 years ago

still possible to learn q good deal about these
snall-tOwn folks of long ago. The broken walls
of the buildings themselves, buried In drifted
sand, tell story that he who digs may read.
X ARANIS has known three different periods,
and there are three levels Of foundations
separated by layers Of sand.
But the three towns that grew successfully
on the same site were very much alike, and
fundamentally not unlike towns of similar size
in medieval Europe or the Maya Empire or
modern America. There was center around
which the life of the place circulated, and this
was of stone. There we're the houses and shops
in which the people lived and traded, and these
were of less pretentious construction. Here, as
elsewhere in Egypt, house construction was Of
sun-baked brick, much like what we call adobe
in our own Southwest. The walls were built
fairly thick, and the houses were small and set
closely together.
The principal building occupying the place
in the Karanian scheme of things that the
county court house holds in our modern main
street towns, was the temple. The ruins Of its
stone walls and stone altar that attestS its
character have been brought to the light Of
day The presence of a temple as the most
pretentiouS edi1ce does not argue that the
people of Karanis were more pious than they
were patriotic. Religion and citizenship were
the same things, both in Egypt and in Rome;
Pharaoh or Caesar was not only civil ruler
but a high priest and god in his own right.
pUT it is in the rooms OF the houses where
the people once lived ToofiesS now and
with broken walls, that the most human and
appealing chapters Of the story Of humble life
IN ancient Egypt may be read.
