pose?that the application pf powder will
be beneficial. It may have the effect
of giving the skin a dry appearance, but
it certainly always adds a few years
to the apparent age of a woman. A lit
tle pure Fuller's earth dusted upon the
face, and carefully' wiped off in a little
while, will often relieve the heat of sun
burn, but as a geimral rule powder
should not be used.
In order to prevent the skin being
sensitive to climatic changes, it must be
kept healthy, and a skin specialist says

soap, borax, ammonia, or toilet vinegar,

to the bathing process. While it is ab
solutely necessary to take as nuch
nourishlment in warm as in cold weather,

vexation to many people, and certainly
this is something one would like to re
medy. A treatment which is simple and
efficacious is to dissolve a small piece of
alum in the basin of water used for
washing. This will make the hands cool
and dry for some time.
A very nice cooling lotion for the
hands, neck and face, after spending any
time in the sun and wind, is made of
equal parts of lemon juice, glycerine, and
eau-dc-cologne. Apply to the skin with
out washing if much tenderness is felt.
At any' time the lotion is excelleit for
keeping. the ihands in good condition.
Apply after washing and allow it to
dry into thu skin.
Tired feet is the experience of many
people during hot days, especially if oc
cupation demands continuous standing.
It has been recommended as an effectual
treatment in such cases to bathe-the
feet in water with just the chill off, dry
thoroughly, and then rub with methylat.
