ENO ONE RULE IS SAFE I | CONDITIONS DIFFER AS TO PROP- ER CLEANSING OF FACE. l tndividual Requirements Must Be Re- sponsible for Varying Methods Employed—Many Gradations Between Cited Cases. We had so many published rules for | the proper cleansing of the face that | we are led to believe there must be "at least cue best method, and that we . should be able to find out what that one is and to follow it faithfully,. We do not take into consideration the fact that the individual requirements vary | greatly, and that the methods must vary accordingly. It alwvays seems both arbitrary and foolish to give set rules for such things, because, while the rules may apply perfectly to nine cases, they may be absolutely inappropriate to the tenth one. For instance, there is the woman whose skin is perfectly normal; who has soft water for bath. ing and who lives where the air is pure and free from soot. This woman { can keep her complexion in good con- { dition by the daily ablutions of soap and water, without any further care or trouble, and the cannot understand why her methods do not apply to the | needs of every other woman, Then w2 find the opposite case—the { woman who lives in a region where the air is laden with smoke and grime; where steam radiators dry out all moisture from the air of the living rooms; where the water is hard and | the winds are nipping. This woman i has learned that she must use soap ! and water sparingly, cleansing cream | generously, and must give her com- :plcxlnn constant care and attention i to keep it from growing brown and ! loathery, or drying up into a network | of wrinkles, As loryg; as the sebaceous glands and i sweat glonds act normally and the | skin retains its elasticity and natur ally moist condition, no especial care fs necessary beyond the ordinary methods of keeping the ekin clean l mal action of these glands is interfer ed with something more than the or dinary methods becomes necessary. The abnormal condition of the glands may take the form of inactjw ity or of over-activity. It the trouble is due to inactivity of the glands and the skin becomes dry and feels drawa it would be worse than foolish to in- sist upon drying up the secretions still more by the use of soap and wa- ter, borax and a bristle brush. The application of a cleansing and sooth- ing cream would answer the purpose much better and would prevent any fll consequences. Should the seba- ceous and sweat glands be overactive the thorough cleansing of the face with soap and water may be permit. ted, but in many cases a lotion con- taining slightly astringent properties will keep the skin in splendid condl. tion, cleansing and toning it up and helping to counteract the tendency to enlargement of the pores, Besides the extreme cases noted | there are all the gradations between | and we can sce how impossible it is | to glve cast-iron rules for even so semingly simple a thing as the proper ! methods of cleansing the face. It h’ necessary to use our own judgment in selecting the method best suited to ! our individual needs, and when we I read any published directions to give | them a little consideration before ap- | plying them, (Copyright, 1913, by Universal Press Sym- dicate.) | WAISTS MADE WITH FICHUS. open, before you learn that men are poor helpless critters.

Look at Mr. Rob now—you'll excuse me for saying it of your brother—but do you mind the green silk socks he brought home just as proud, that you took back the next day?

I thought \ he might just as well begin to realize what it'll mean when he has a wifa to buy clothes for! Oh, Jim and mo are going to get along together all ! right!" And Minnie fell to dusting casings. | “There doesn’t seem to be much | romance about her wedding, but I have a horrible feeling that maybe { €he has the right idea about running l a happy home!” “Go along with you!” said the m~n ; who was listening. “We men will | have to rise up and suppress a few of you lady revolutionists before long ! if you go on this way!
