How and When to Wash the Face
Washing the face seems a simple
matter. Longfellow, ou know, re
minded us that thlnpa are not what
they seem. And I am Roing to re
mind you that even washltm the fare
Is not an "empty dream," but a stern
reality. Ileauty demand H; cW'i
linoss requires It. Not more than one
person In ten performs the feat prop
erly. It requires practice. Practice,
we know, makft perfect. So if you
want your facV'the perfection of
beauty you must first learn to waBh
It. If you have already learned the
method and have neglected to put
it In practice you need not bj aur
prlsed that your face already shows
evidence of that neglect. .
' The time to wash the face is at
night. The morning bath is to re
fresh one after sleep. The night ab
lution Is to remove
the dust and grime of
the day. If the face
Is washed properly at
rilght and th pores
cleansed of all the
accumulation of dust
and grease, the sur
face of the skin will
be left fresh and
sanitary, the blood
can circulate freely!
and the air cells' perform their func
tion without' germ contamination.
Tromlnent dermatologists as well as
public health officials do not hesi
tate to say that by allowing the face
to remain unwashed over night peo
ple openly invite skin diseases and
other ailments such as Infiuenta,
Infantile paralysis and 'similar in
fections. While castile soap Is the best to
use for cleansing the face, some au
thorities advlso applying this soap
with a small camel's hair brush,
dipped into fairly hot water, and that
for coarse skins, or for those exposed
to extreme dirt and grease such as
In mills, factories and machine shops,
a turklsh towel, glove or Wash cloth
should be used. The use of sponges
is discouraged by these same author
ities, who claim that the latter are
uncleanly and good germ carriers.
Two or three changes of tepid
water should be used in rinsnlg off
the soup after the face has been vlg
1 orously rubbed. In drying the face
always use a soft towel and draw it
lightly in an upward direction, ltub-
blug the face in all directions is
harmful. Eventually it will make
the skin flabby and wrinkled. Toi
let waters, too, are usually Injurious.
They nearly always contain some in
, grcdUnt which robs the skin of its
fat, leaving It dry and harsh.
People with very delicate skins
who wash their faces well at night
frequently prefer to cleanno the face
in the morning with cold cream in
steau or water. This tends to pre
vent chapping but is an excellent
catch-all for dust throughout the
day, and therefore innkos the night
bath all the more important.
If, at any time, you find that the
soap you use irritates the skin, be
assured that it contains some impur
ity and discard it at once. For whit
ening the skin it does no harm to
use a few drops of tincture of ben
oln in the rinsing water., The ben
coin has a slight, aromatic odor that
is decidedly pleasing and also serves
to close the pores.
The use of cream and powder after
washing is especially necessary for
people who are about to go out into
the sun or wind. The face, however.
should be well dried before apply
lng'the cream, otherwise It will be
uneven and the result Is such as can
be seen daily on any street or In any
theatei.
Uoth powor and rouge can be
used wisely and well, evtn to such
extent as to be Impossible of detec
tion. And aRain, thoy can be ap
plied with such Inck of rkill as will
make a beautiful woman hideous.
Fur women who want to use rouge
I would suggest that the face of a
normal, healthy, playing child should
be studied. The flush In the child's
face, you will notice, Is not In one
huge spot high on the cheek bones.
It blends gradually across the upper
part of the cheek to the white spot
directly on a line with the lobe of
the ear. Then It gradually grows
pinker In the lower part of the
cheek, but not so pink as above. The
center of the chin and the center of
the forehead are also slightly flushed
and sometimes the lobes of the ears.
It is all a smooth shading from white
to pink and back to white again
People who teach the proper way of
"maktng-up" usually lay consider
able stress upon the importance of
"blending" the powder and rouge.
Many women and young girls ap
ply cosmetics In a manner that make
them appear grotesque. Sometimes
I wonder if they like In dark rooms
or have no mirrors. Surely they
rannot know what a fearful and won
derful appearance they make. On
the contrary they usually seem to be
under the delusion that they are ex
ceedlngly attractive. Once upon i
time I attempted to unravel the mys
terious "why" of their false belief.
This Is what I discovered.
A charming home, wejl-kept, heav
ily curtained, a dim subdued light
everywhere. No high lights, not
even In the dainty little dressing
room off the bed room. Everything
was artistic but every light was
shaded In some neutral tint that
could not possibly reveal a defect or
an over supply of powder on the face
of the charming little woman who
stood there, adjusting her hat pre
paratory to going to a matinee. She
was very pretty, I had always nd
mired her. Also I had always won
dered why she persisted In martin,;
her sweet face with such a "clown
like" make-up. Now I knew. Her
reflection, as it appeared In her mlr
ror, waB perfect. When we stepped
forth into the sunshine of the street
the effect was ghastly. The mora
Is obvious:
.Every woman who uses powder
and rouge off stage should apply the
"make-up" before a mirror that 1
close to a window, where the light
can.Btream down upon the dressing
table and illuminate it, not with' the
shade drawn down to a precise line
with the mirror, thus hiding all
blemishes.
A woman who has no favorable
window position for her dressing
mirror can always, before leaving
the house, take a hand mirror and,
standing beside a window or open
door, inspect her face critically. If
all women would make this a prac
tice I am positive the majority would
never leave the house until they had
removed or, at least, improved their
self-inflicted beauty mask. The
woman I have referred to was nat
urally so pretty that her badly ap
plied make-up was a real blemish.
There are many others like her.

bid nn Increase of general taxation by
the state or any subdivision of more
than 0 per cent over the previous

the governor's code bill In constitu
tional form. It Is No. 304.

In the state for six months, shall be
electors." .

Delpgate Norton, of Polk county,
thrust Into the hopper of the conven

ment does not exceed $30.
Up to the end of last week the con
vention had been in session twenty
four days, most of which has been con
