THE BEDTIME TOILET.

So many women who spare no time or effort in connection with beauty culture during the clay think nothing of slipping into bed at night without so much as creaming their laces, says one beauty cxport. It would he a fair summary of the case to say that half an hour at night is worth two hours during the following day; and wise women make it a rule never to omit a few little toilet matters before retiring. No matter how late it is, day's “make-up” should be removed. This is not only necessary in the case of the elaborate gilding of the lily which justifies the description “make-up,” but it applies equally to the ordinary powder that accumulates on the face during the day. One begins to rub in the cold cream, and then a little massage round the eyes, or anywhere a wrinkle may have made its appearance, is only a matter of a little extra time. Always comb and brush your hair for a few minutes, and never omit to brush your teeth. In this latter respect more than any other, the nightly attention is particularly necessary and more vital than any amount of brushing during the day. When one conies in tired at night, there is a groat temptation to say, “It doesn’t, matter just for once,” but a bad habit is the easiest thing in the world to form, concludes the writer, and neglecting the complexion at night is one of the worst for the woman who values and wishes to keep her looks.
