INTELLIGENCE, NOT VANITY.

THE MOTIVE FOR BEAUTY. Intelligence, not vanity, is the motive for self-adornment nowadays; the woman of pleasing appearance knows that she stands a greater chance of being successful, both in her job and at home, than the slattern. But no woman can maintain a pleasing appearance unless she takes every possible care of her complexion. At jIQ it is enough to powder your nose; but that nose may have lost that lovely dull whiteness and become permanently red. Ii is a tragedy because when you are young it does not seem possible that you will ever be so afflicted, and that is why you don't take the care yon should. So be warned in time! Red noses, like so many skin troubles, are caused through defective circulation, and you would be wise to make a conscientious nightly habit of patting your nose—after you have cold-creamed your face—with a camphor solution. Camphor, as you know, is very warming, and a weakened spirit of this is preferable to the oil/ It is certainly excellent for toning up a sluggish circulation, and you will find that it does really prevent the nose from reddening. Don't rub hard and pull the ilesh about as you apply it. Just tap gently until dry.
