BEAUTY IN TEN MINUTES.

After a long journey by motor car or train the woman who wishes to gain a sense of real invigoration should imitate the example of the Frenchwoman who ,thougn she may only have ten minutes berore she appears at table d’hote, invariably goes through the following practices: — First she removes her travelling dress and gives it io the femme de chambre to be brushed. Then, dipping one corner of the towel in cold cream or white vaseline, she gently rubs the whole of her face, necK and arms with this grease; after this another corner of the towel is saturated with eau-de-Cologne and water and the cold cream is wiped off. Finally a rinsing of cold water is, given, and the same process is then applied to her neck and shoulders. After a thorough drying with a soft towel, a dusVor powder is applied to the face, neck and hands, and the traveller feels a new woman. If there is time her feet are also sponged and powdered, and the application of a spray filled with eau-de-Cologne to her hair will help to remove the traces of dust. All these processes are excellent for the hygiene of the skin, and the traveller” only requires ten minutes to execute them all and thus to emerge from lier room a smiling and radiant creature, with a glowing complexion and a sense .of refreshment that has made her forget all the fatigues of a long journey.
