Oatmeal For the Skin. Never wash the face just before go- Ing out into the fresh air or just after coming in. Nothing is more injurious to the skin. Washing the face with oatmeal takes off the greasy look and leaves the skin like velvet. A few drops of ammonia in the water with which the face is bathed is also excel- lent fer an olly skin and gives a fresh coloring by bringing the blood to the surface. If the skin has already too much color borax should be used in A Bad Habit Cured. LOST IN A FOG By THOMAS R. DEAN It was summer. and | was on the | seashore.

His horse—his name was Peter—had been obtained for him from racing stock, since he needed fleetness to escape from the askars, or Turkish soldiers, who, should they capture him, would torture, then put him to death.

To bleach the skin and nails of sun burn, to refine coarse pores and soften the skin, lemon juice is invaluable.

Hollows under the eyes can be filled out by correct massage. Apply a good skin food, place the first finger on the eyelid close to the nose, move halfway to the ear, coming back under the eye to the starting polnt. This is an effec- tive treatment for crow's feet, since it irons them flat and smooths the groov- od cuticle. Sluggish circulation, general malnu- trition of the body, worry, loss of sleep and a rundown constitution will bring hollows under the eyes.
