Cnro of the Skin.
Tho most attmctlvo feature in feminine
beauty lies In the tcxturo and color of
the skin, and a beautiful complexion will
redeem almost any other fault In tho
lace. Tho Infant's undeveloped features
havo no beauty time and character havo
not yet stamped expression on Uin face,
but the soft tints of. tho skin are ex
quisite In the young girl tho strongest
nppcal lies In tho delicacy of her color
ing, and a maturo woman without a clear,
unwrlnklcd skin Is sadly handicapped.
ISvery woman desires a nice complexion
beyond anything else, and every woman
should possess It. I do not believe In tho
necessity for yellow dlscolorations, pre
mature wrinkles, roughness nnd erup
tions. Kinc-tenths of theso come from
Improper treatment or lack of care, tho
rest from 111 health, discontent and
worry; they can all bo avoided nnd In a
largo measuro overcome.
Few women tako proper care of the
skin, and this abuse dates from child
hood. Recently I paid a visit to what
seemed an Ideally appointed nursery. Tho
mother,, a coll ego trained woman, mar
l led to a man of wealth, was able to give
her thrco little girls every advantage that
sclcnco and means could afford. They

mind, everything was wrong tho cloth,
the' soap, tho manner in which they
wcro used and tho lack of proper rinsing.
This Is my rule for washing tho faco
of a young child. During Infancy noth

nartlclo of soap removed, tho uouch or
cold water has hardened it against con
tact with tho air, and It has not been
stretched or made coarse by hard treat
ment. There Is no substance known. so deli
cate as tho human skin; it is elastic to ft
great degree, capable of absorbing by
means of tho exterior surface and the
capillaries that nourish It; it Is keenly
senBlblo to heat or cold, and it should,
in short, have the greatest possible care.
Hut, on tho contrary, It is generally very
roughly treated. A woman will spend
hours washing and drying a delicate piece
of embroidery or lace, or fearing to trust
her. own skill, sho will send It to a pro
fesslonal cleaner, but she will give half
n rolnuto to washing her .child's face,
using strong soap and a rough cloth as
aids, and a few years later wonder why
tho' child has not a good complexion.
I am not a great believer in soap, but it
is dlfflcut to induce busy mothers to en
tirely discard It. Ho sure to get an abso
lutely pure soap It need not bo the most
oxrjpnslvo on the markot and then bear
in mind that oven in pure soap there Is
sofno free alkali present. That Is why I
lay. emphasis on tho necessity of thor
oughly rinsing the faco after soap has
been used.

The human eddy In that .lirobbjng cen
ter of life was sending off its swirls to'
all points of tho compass, and tho enst
bound vehicles were boarded by an eager
crowd almost beforo tho passengers ar
riving at tho terminus could descend,
A poor woman, greatly hampered by
a baby, was struggling with others to
obtain a seut in tho Mllo End road bus.
Philip, coming late on the scene, saw
her swept ruthlessly usldo by a number
of men and boys. The conductor Jerked
the bcll-ropfl several times. There was
no more room.
The woman, white-faced and disap
pointed, looked around with a woebe
gone expression. Philip, who would havo
gturily paid for a cab to take her to her
destination, dared do nothing of the sort.
Hut ho said:
"Keep close to me. I will get you a
eat in the next 'bus."
"Oil, I wish you would," sho said, with
a wan smile, "I am so tired. I have
walked here from Shepherd's Hush."
"That's f long way to carry a baby."
What could I do? People won't take
care of children without payment. I
heard I could get work In a laundry
there, so I went to look after It. There's
ifothlng to be had down our way, Is
there?"
"Things turn, 'up auddenly," said Philip.
"Not for the poor, my lad. 1 fear you
know that without, my telling you. Hut
you are young, and will soon be a man.
Her wistful tone went to Ills heart.
"IMtln't you succeed at the laundry?"
ho Inquired.
"Yes; I ought to be thankful. I can
earn 9 shillings a week there. I start on
Monday."
"Isn't your (ttisbantl nt work?"
"He Is dead. Poo'r fellow, he caught
cold last Christmas and was burled In
January, God only knows bow I lived
since. If It wasn't for the kindness of
neighbors baby and I would hove
starved. I can 111 afford this tuppence,
but I can't' walk any further."
"Well, look out now." he said cheerily.
"Here's our bus."
As the vehicle droW up he caught the
brass rail with his left hand, and warded
off assailants with the bundle under his
right arm.
"Quick." he said to the woman, as soon
as the people Inside had descended.
"Jump in."
Sho essayed to do so, but was rudely
thrust aside by a young man who had
paused on the roof to light a cigarette.
Philip sprang onto the step and butted
the young gentleman In the stomach with
his parcel. raUHlng the ether to sit down
heavily on the stairs. The boy caught
the woman's at in with his disengaged
hand nnd pulled her up. Ho dived in
after her.
"You young ,'' roared tho discom
fited smoker.
"'Ere! Come orf of it," said tho con
ductor. "Why didn't yo git dahn beforo7
D'yo want a lift?"
Others hustled tho protesting one out
of the way.
"Confound tho East End, 1 say," he
growled, as ho crossed to tho Mansion
House. "What tho deuce Lady Louisa
Mnrland wants to keep on sending mo to
that wretched"'mews for I can't imagine.
Anyway, I can tell her this tlmo that tho
place is empty, and will be pulled down
next week."
And thus it wua that Philip collided
with Messrs. Sharpo & Smith's clerk, de
tailed by tlio anxious Lady Morland to
discover bis whereabouts. They met and
bumped Into each other In tho whirlpool
of London Just as two shlpa might crash
together by night in mld-Atlnntlc, and
draw apart with ruffled feelings, or
scraped paint, which in the same thing,
without tho slightest knowledge of each
other'! Identity.
Within the omnibus tho woman was
volubly grateful. Hho had a kindly heart,
and timidly essayed questions as to
Philip's relative, hoping that she might
make their acquaintance.
"I'll be bound now," sho said, "that
you havo a good mother. You can always
tell what the parents are like when you
seo tho children."
"My mother was, Indeed, dear to me,"
he replied sadly, again driven out of him
self by the mournful recollections thus
suddenly Induced, "but she Is dead, loit

Horn? people in tho bus ceased talk
ling. They were attracted by the strong.
clear voice of this unkempt boy, whose
I diction and choice of words were so nrt
rageously opposed to his garments.
Luckily, tho silence warned him. or his
new friend's sympathy might have
brought about an embarrassing position.
Poor thing! And Is your father dead
too?"
'Yes. He died long ago."
" Whore do you live now?"
"Oh," ho said, "I have been staying
In, North London, hut will leave there
soon, and 1 have not settled anything
definitely at present. Where Is the
laundry you spoke of? I will call some
day, if I may. and learn how you are
getting on."
"I will be so pleased. It Is a little
place In James street the only on
there. Ask for Mrs. Wrlgley.-'
It Is luchy you understand laundry
work, or things might go hard with
ou "
She laughed pitifully
T don't! They nsked mo If I was a
washer or an ironrr, I thought wash
ing required least experience, so I said
was a washer. I am quick to learn,
nnd will watch tho other women. If
they find mo out I may bo discharged.
"Oh, cheer up," ho said, plensantly,
I don't suppose you'd find It very
hard."
Her voice sank almost to a whisper,
"It Is not the work I dread, but the
surroundings. I was a school teacher
befora my marriage. My husband was
an electrical engineer. We put all our
savings Into a little business and then
tho end came."
"Not quite the end. I nm only a boy,
but I've had ups and downs enough to
know that tho beginning of next week
may bo a very different affair to tho end
of this. Good bye."
They wero passing the London hos
pital, and lie thought Jt prudent to alight
at some distance from Johnson's Mews.
"Uoll, God bless you, anyhow," she
said, earnestly.
'"E's got 'Is 'cad screwed on tight,
that lad," commented a man sitting
next to her.
."Hettcr than that, he ( has. a good
heait," said Mrs. Wrlgley. Most for
tunate Mrs. Wrlgley to havo encoun
tered Philip in that hour, which she
deemed the blackest in her life.
Ho hastened through the familiar bustle
Of the busy thoroughfare with heightened
expectancy, it is true, but devoid of the
least fear that his meteor had beon dis
covered. His mother would take good
care of It. Why, the mere chance re
mark of the woman he had befriended
showed that her gnllo spirit watched
over him wherever he wont. Hero was
u stranger, a sad toller among tho mil
lions, who went out of her way to praise
i no goodness of one she had never seen.
Ho laughed Joyously, Mrs. Wrlglev
should have further cause to bless his
mother s memory.
Ho passed O'Urlen's shop. He saw tho
old man seated behind the oounter.

itatvd. Which was tho moro Judicious
courjieto remain hidden, unknown, or
to drop quietly Into tho groove whore he
was recognized? With rare perspicacity
foe one so young, he reflected that only
five days had elapsed since ho last saw
tho old ponsluner. Tha period bulked
largely In Philip's llfej In O'Hrlen's It
would be as naught.
Yielding to the second thought, he en
tered the shop.
"Glory be to God, Phil, but It s mlsolf

rounded, occasionally painfully sharp;

for similar reasons, a little shiny.

tho trouble and eat fewer sweets and
deny hoiself rich pastries, but self-denial
Is not characteristic of young girls. And
they are not by themselves In that!
There is nothing on tho market as In
expensive as face powder, it Is tho one
thing the high cost of living should
affect, and the one thing it does not. For
10 cents a girl may buy enough faco
powder to last her a month, and if she
continued to use it as sparingly as the
first time, when she gingerly touched
that pink or shiny spot on the tip of her
noso and then rubbed It off, a 10-cent
can would outlast several generations.

This was not strictly accurate. O'Hrlen

by some red-tape enthi'slast In Pall Mall.
Hut his plaint effectually stopped nil

was "naythur alum nor lime," he hadn't
a word to say.
Philip borrowed a pade, a small
sweeping brush and a strong sack with
out evoking tho slightest comment from
the pensioner, who discoursed Inces
santly on the inlquty of the "govern

with the attempt to rob him of "a hun

Decidedly the boy was In luck's way,
He had secured some necessary Imple

aro watching her downward career with
silent prayer lose all reckoning of the
times and can only stare appalled nt the
result.
Tho little powder-dabbed patch nt the
tip of her nose has, grown in sua ana

her tho appearance ot a clown in a circus!
The man who condemns her harshly Is
asked to do that rarest of all things:

Does it tell a story of Indulgence? Then
he should not be too harsh with the llttto
girl who looks as if she had fallen faco

Like the man whose "first glass" has

next step Is a change In tho color of her
hair.
From a sweet-faced, modest little girl
she has developod Into such a false-faced,

every one reason to doubt It. She has
