3.  NECK AND FACE.—­Do not bathe the neck and face just before or after being out of doors.  It tends to wrinkle the skin.

4.  SCOWLS.—­Never allow yourself to scowl, even if the sun be in your eyes.  That scowl will soon leave its trace and no beauty will outlive it.

5.  WRINKLED FOREHEAD.—­If you wrinkle your forehead when you talk or read, visit an oculist and have your eyes tested, and then wear glasses to fit them.

6.  OLD LOOKS.—­Sometimes your face looks old because it is tired.  Then apply the following wash and it will make you look younger:  Put three drops of ammonia, a little borax, a tablespoonful of bay rum, and a few drops of camphor into warm water and apply to your face.  Avoid getting it into your eyes.

7.  THE BEST COSMETIC.—­Squeeze the juice of a lemon into a pint of sweet milk.  Wash the face with it every night and in the morning wash off with warm rain water.  This will produce a very beautiful effect upon the skin.

8.  SPOTS ON THE FACE.—­Moles and many other discolorations may be removed from the face by a preparation composed of one part chemically pure carbolic acid and two parts pure glycerine.  Touch the spots with a camel’s-hair pencil, being careful that the preparation does not come in contact with the adjacent skin.  Five minutes after touching, bathe with soft water and apply a little vaseline.  It may be necessary to repeat the operation, but if persisted in, the blemishes will be entirely removed.

9.  WRINKLES.—­This prescription is said to cure wrinkles:  Take one ounce of white wax and melt it to a gentle heat.  Add two ounces of the juice of lily bulbs, two ounces of honey, two drams of rose water, and a drop or two of ottar of roses.  Apply twice a day, rubbing the wrinkles the wrong way.  Always use tepid water for washing the face.

10.  THE HAIR.—­The hair must be kept free from dust or it will fall out.  One of the best things for cleaning it, is a raw egg rubbed into the roots and then washed out in several waters.  The egg furnishes material for the hair to grow on, while keeping the scalp perfectly clean.  Apply once a month.

11.  LOSS OF HAIR.—­When through sickness or headache the hair falls out, the following tonic may be applied with good effect:  Use one ounce of glycerine, one ounce of bay rum, one pint of strong sage tea, and apply every other night rubbing well into the scalp.

THE SECRET OF ITS PRESERVATION.

[Illustration:  MRS. WM. McKINLEY.]

1.  The question most often asked by women is regarding the art of retaining, with advancing years, the bloom and grace of youth.  This secret is not learned through the analysis of chemical compounds, but by a thorough study of nature’s laws peculiar to their sex.  It is useless for women with wrinkled faces, dimmed eyes and blemished skins to seek for external applications of beautifying balms and lotions to bring the glow of life and health into the face, and yet there are truths, simple yet wonderful, whereby the bloom of early life can be restored and retained, as should be the heritage of all God’s children, sending the light of beauty into every woman’s face.  The secret:
