One of the best is to moisten coarse cornmeal with milk and, filling the hands with It, scrub the face gently yet with vigor. The friction opens the pores and re lieves the. muddy looking skin ot the poison which has choked them. A woman whose skin at fifty Is as fresh as a girl's told me that she would as lief retire without saying her prayers a without Iron Ing her face wth Ice. This causes the blood to flow to the surface, re freshing and ftedlng the skin. but I fear I can give you no help as to the hair. I have written against hair dyes fer four years.

For ap fit Is a distinctly good one, I wljl give you such details as will possibly help you to achieve something of the effect without all the expense of the original and Bomewhat costly Paris model.

Olive oil feeds the skin well but there Is a deep rooted objec tion to Its too frequent use because It Is charged with making the skin yellow.
