When I read tlio nbovu item , which
has boon Kohl } ; the rounds of the press
reeontlj' , I was moved to robuku the
writer for his iinportinenco and ignor
ance , as well a.s to loll my fair sisters n
fo\v things worth knowing about tlio
preservation of physical charms.
Many of us are taught by sweet , un
worldly mothers that thcru is no help
for a bad complexion but a contented
mind , no preventive for wrinkles but
early deaih ; that only the foolish and
frivolous of our sox call in tlio aid of art
to assist nature or to arrest time , and
that the use of any wash or preparation
fyr the slun save cold water brings dis-
litfuromont and premature decay in its
train.
It is certainly true that the applica
tion of promiscuous cosmetics will ut
terly ruin the most durable complexion.
No man wants a "made-up" woman fora
wife , and the beauty that will not wash
is repellent.
But every man living lilies to see his
wife retain as loiifj as possible the
charms which won him.
In Thomas Hardy's clmrmincf book ,
"Tho Hand of Kthelberta"ho describes
u decayed belle , who endeavored to sup
plement nature by art , and only aug
mented her apnoaranco of ago. "For , "
wiid the author , "what is so bHgjjCbtivo
of ruin as repair1"
There is , however , a vast amount of
tlilTorenco between preservation and re
pair , and 1 positively "know that with
duo attention to the important subject
and proper care , a woman can preserve
a smooth complexion into mature life ,
or vastly improve a rough one. boino
one has Miid that it is a great art to
know how to grow old gracefully. The
airs and furbelows of Mrs. Malapraparo
certainly not becoming to mature life ,
and the bloom of the apple blossom is
not expected on the fruit. But the
great majority of women to-day look
older than their years warrant , because
they have neglected the very simple
methods of preserving themselves.
C'ity women who keep their pace with
rapid life and turn the night into day ,
still retain their youth longer than
their country sisters , who live natural ,
healthful lives. The former study how
to perpetuate their charms ; the latter
accept their decay as inevitable. Time
is an ogre over ready to destroy the
beauty which docs not offer resistance.
Many young people lay the founda
tion for a wrinkled forehead by the
earoloss habit of lifting the eyebrows
when looking at any object above the
level of the head. 1 recall many a chid
ing whoa a child from my mother on
this score , which I appreciated later in
life.
life.Perfect
Perfect composure of the features
under all phases of emotion not only in
dicate good breeding , but alto insures a.
protracted youthfnlness of outline.
The habit of contracting the brows
over a hard lesson soon wears ono or
more perpendicular lines between the
pyeshich assists to age the face later
on. Every unnatural grimace expres
sive of anger or annoyance , amusement
or mirth , is a foe to youth and beauty.
Every unnocessaryeontortiuii of thefaco
is an advance agent for wrinkles.
I do not refer to those cunning little
peek-a-boo lines which Hit about the
eyes of some mirthful pcoplo. They do
not disfigure or ago any face ; but I
mean the twistiiig-iand writhings of the
features which many nervous people in-
dulo in to accent their mirth.
I once read a book in which the au
thor claimed to have discovered the
reason why so many beautiful faces were
always to be found among the Sisters of
Charity and the nuns. Ho said it was
in a great measure duo to the daily
habit of composing the features in long
hours of meditation and prayer. Un
married by contending emotions , they
were gradually moulded into harmoni
ous outlines.
The most expressive face is not the
one which writhes or agonixes with
every sorrowful feeling , or twists and
squirms with every amusing froiisiitiou ;
it is rather the ono which retains a
calm exterior while the strongest emo
tions of the soul play upon it with their
lights and shadows.
The face should bo the smooth cur
tain on which the hearts exhibit *
its varied pictures without disturbing
it , not the stage which requires the
scenery for every net.
' '
The'majority'of women wn-h their
faces too frequently. There is no fabric
which would not become dingy. dKeol-
orod , and roughened if soaked in water
half a do/en times a day and then expo -
po od to the cold of winter or the boat
of summer. Just so it is with the
human skin. Dust or soil is quite as
readily removed from the face by a fra
grant cold cream or , better still , an
application of delicious almond meal.
Some years ago I gained knowledge
of this woaderlul and simple toiletaceos-
Miry. Since then I liavu snug its praises
to many ladies , and I do not he.sitate to
say tha't I have seen marvels resulting
from its use.
Any laily can procure and crush the
common almonds into a pulpy meal for
her own purposes , or anv druggist can
prepare them. The face should bo
moistened with water , and a thimbleful
of the meal rubbed thoroughly into the
pores. It leaves the skin as soft as vel
vet , with a line , imperceptible , and fra
grant oilwhich is the best wrinkle pre
ventive in the world.
It leaves the face kiss-able and sweet ,
too , and not in the least greasy. Any
man who had ever detected a suspicion
of toilet soap about the perfume of his
wife's cheek , 1 am sure would 11 nd the
almond odor far more pleasing.
I know n lady past fifty who says the
condition of her absolutely unlined and
delicate skin is entirolyduoto the semi-
daily application of almond meal for
nearly twenty years.
I think the rubbing it necessitates is
beuollcial also. I have seen a malicious
little furrow chased wholly away from
the corner of an eye by the untiring xenl
of stroking hands.
I know a young.girl to utterly ruin a
lovely complexion by the wholesale mo
of various ponders. It is like painting
the lily or adorning the rose for a
young girl who possesses a good skin to
use powders.
But the woman whom nature denied
or time has robbed of this charm , I
think is greasy improved by a delicate
dust of harmless powder , carefully
brushed away with a soft llannel or cha
mois , so no particle of it is perceptible
to the observant e\-o. On a hot day
many a lady is obliged to u-o a powder
cloth to remove the "shine , " which is
such a fee to a line complexion.
I once heard a gentleman that ho
liked to see a trace of powder on a
pretty cheek , it was such a delightful
temptation to brush it oil ; but all men
are not so appreciative.
I wish the women who so recklessly
decorate themselves in a dim room could
see themselves as others see thorn when
they walk forth into the broad light of
day or into the electric light.
Many an actress could preserve her
complexion unmarred by all its "miiKo
up" if she would remove the cosmetic-
with cold creams or some prepaiation
of almonds. To wash them oil with
water will roughen and tliMroj the best
of complexions in n few .sears.
There was a 1'ivneh preparation
called the Lull Antephelique. which
was wonderful in removing and pre
venting freckleIt was harmless and
agreeable to n-e. I do not know where
it was manufactured , and I never mw it
advertised. Hut to my por-onnl
knowledge it he-lowed la-ting benellt
din at least one lady. 1 have never been
able to procure it in Now York. It was
an expen-ive imported preparation.
Plenty of fresh air. a great , deal of
bodily 'exercise , and the free u-e of
cream and butter in the diet are neeos-
- arto , procure a good complexion.
One of my acquaintances substitutes
a tea made of rod clover tops or dande
lion roots for her morning cotlee fre
quently , and always with excellent re
sults to her complexion.
In closing mj talk with ladie.on tin-
subject. I would ehT ify. and sum my
advice something like tin- :
Train your featureto compo-ure.
and avoid all grimacing habit- .
Exorcise much in the open air.
I'se oil- , creams , and fruit freely in
your diet.
Drink" simple. blood-purif.\ herb
teas frequently.
Do not wash your face- oftener than
once a day , but appl.ome linrmlo
cream or meal at least twice in twentj-
four hours.
If niggardly Nature or jealous time
on a hot summer day necessitates this
addition of a powder pull to your toilet
article.- , use it with discretion anil mod
eration.
And in addition to all thi- you keep
your mindbn.v. . . jour thoughts cheer
ful , and your souls frets from bitterness
if you would preserve a fre-h. attrac
tive exterior beyond the lleetingspring-
time of youth.
