COMPLEXION AND WRINKLES

A soft, : . beautiful complexion is certainly an attraction; which every woman should desire, and any simple means, 1 which does not occupy time needed for more important matters, should be tried to attain such an end. There are many complexions which chafe Teadily, and tan in the strong winds. A simple preparation of sweet cream rubbed into the skin after washing it thoroughly is a remedy for this trouble. This should, be applied at night, just before retiring, and the next morning the face should be washed thoroughly, first in lukewarm water and afterwards in cold to give tone to the muscles.

Some women use glycerine in the same way, diluted with half of it 6 bulk of rosewater. This preparation is rubbed in the face and hands and gloves are worn dt night. A little of Scrubb's cloudy household ammonia in the water is a help towards keeping the skin firm and'free-from'wrinkles. There certainly is no remedy for wrinkles after they come. It should be remembered, however, that an amia-ble temper, a clear conscience, and freedom from' a disposi-

tion tx> worry ever the petty annoyances o <f life are qualities of mind and heart that will keep the face free from wrinkles. and beautiful to the ripest old age.
