Bathe Your Face.

To begin with, hot water is a necessary adjunct, and with this the face and hands should be well bathed. It is as well for the busy woman, who has been out all day, to use soap to her face, and cleanse it from the diist and impurities which a day in town has nccesssarily brought. The soap should be well rinsed off with clean, warm water. The teeth should next receive attention, and will last much longer and look whiter if cleansed before retiring. This careful cleansing of the teeth before sleep will do more than anything towaids preserving them sound to old age. Much of the mischief and decay of the teeth is caused by the neglect of cleansing them after their day’s work. The hands should be carefully washed and dried, and, it they are at all harsh, a little emollient cream or glycerine and rose water should be rubbed in. So much for the ablutionary part. Now for the hair. This should lie thoroughly well brushed and be freed from all tangle. A certain amount of dust is sure to collect in one’s hair, and brushing is the only way to remove it. The hair should then be loosely braided and loft hanging down. Try thia regularly for a week or two and the habit? will become second nature.
