The Skin Lotion of a Famous Beauty.

All the way from Paris comes this recipo for lait virginal, the matchless tonic and lotion for the skin, to the use of which Ninon de l’Enclos attributed the preservation of her complexion, which was said to have had when its happy possessor was 70 years old the velvety freshness of that of a girl of 16. Here it is: Half an ounce tincture of benzoin, 16 ounces best rosewater, 10 drops attar of roses. Sponge the wet Bkin with this preparation after the bath. An equal weight of refined linseed oil added to this mixture and rubbed well into the arms and neck twice daily is said to be an excellent remedy for attenuation. The young woman who sends the formula declares that its use has transformed her scrawny neck and bony arms into agratifymg plumpness of outline.
