of rose water and add it to the
mixture. This will keep your skin
free from roughness all during the
winter weather, and in summer it
will prove a foe to sunburn.
Now wash your neck and shoul
ders. Of course, you say? Yes,
but I mean wash in a way that you
have probably not thought neces
sary.
First, prepare for the cleansing
process by taking a few simple
arm and shoulder and throat exer
cises so as to get the blood In cir
culation and the skin glowing.
Then rub the neck, arms, shoul
ders and back with the cold cream
and remove every bit of it with one
of the soft cloths. Gray and
grimy the cloth will be.
That means that the pores have
yielded some of the dust they have
been attempting to secrete.
Now wash thoroughly with a
fine white lather of your soap
(unperfumed soap unless you can
afford the finest and most expen
sive of the perfumed kinds), and
use your brush of rubber or soft,
silky bristles to scrub away any
lingering soil.
Next make a paste of the cool
line at your throat, will not this
dainty strap be a blessing?
My long string of pearls gives
the “V” line that is so kind to the
plump face and the short neck. A
bit of ribbon and a pretty little
locket will produce the same long
line from neck to throat.
In the same way the long "V"
at the back of my dress gives a
chance to show the long line from
the nape of the neck to the back.
The fluffy feather finish across
my shoulders Is very softening
and becoming.
Out of such a filmy mass a long
white throat and curved shoulders
rise most effectively. If feathers
are beyond your pocketbook, tulle
will again prove the friend in need.
\ little study of line, & little
patience in doing away with hol

toward acquiring the beauty of

"What do you propose to have me

asked. “I am sorry to seem so per

the child.”

gARY answered Gordon Craig’s let-
^'1 ter. writing a short and formal
reply, thanking him for his sym
pathy and saying that she hoped his ,
little daughter would be a great com- .
fort to him. Rhe did not suggest that ,
she might ever see him again. Indeed,
she never allowed herself to think of
this possibility. The man was dead to
her.
Nor did her sentiments change when,
six months later, she received a San
Antonio newspaper, containing a marked
notice that Gordon Craig would soon
move to New York to open there a
branch office Iti connection with his
business In Texas. She was interested,
to be sure, but still she told herself
again that his coming East meant noth
ing to her. She wondered for a minute
where his baby -poor motherless mite—
was. As Craig did not tell her that his
own mother was caring for his little
daughter, Mary’s heart ached at the
thought of the child’s loss of the mother- i
love that had been her own portion and
which her own child received in gener
ous measure.
Her little boy continued delicate, and
Mary was always anxious about him.
Once she asked her physician why the
boy was not strong and well.
*T give him the best care of which I
am capable,” she said, “and Just the
food that you say he should have, yet
he does not gain flesh and color. What
is the trouble with him?”
The doctor looked grave. “To be
frank, Mrs. Fletcher, ”he answered, “you
were overworked for months before the
child came, and, of course, your ner
vous condition told upon him. But we
will hope to overcome this congenital
weakness and make a strong man of
him yet.”
Even as he spoke the physician did j
not feel confident of the hope he held |
out to the anxious mother. Yet doctor*

H AVE you beautiful white
shoulders?
Is your neck white and
swan-like?
Do you dare turn your back to
people with the pleasant certainty
that they must praise, not criticise?
Of course you want the slender,
graceful, youthful figure that is so
fashionable to-day—but if you have
dieted and exercised and taken
medicated baths to acquire it have
you produced a youthful contour
and at the same time brought on a
scrawny neck, protruding shoulder
blades and a back in which every
rib seems fighting for a place in
the world?
I have a message of cheer for
you if you have.

Man as Bert had asked her to do, but
the time had now come when the wife
must know It. The proposal Bert’s
mother now had to make was that Mary
and the baby come and stay with her
during Bert’s absence.
“The child ain’t well,’* she wrote, “and
perhaps the obange would do it good.

your food and the child’s than out in

Mary's face flushed as she read. How
could she bring herself to be an object
of her mother-in-law’s charity? Then
she reminded herself that she was not
going to town for her own sake, hut for
th« sake of the child, and that it was
also Bert’s child, and his mother’s grand
son. What right had the wife to alio*
her personal pride to stand between hc»*

Rhe remembered a proverb of her hus
band’s, and the full meaning of it made
her smile bitterly as she repeated—
"Needs must when the devil drives!”
Rhe no longer deceived herself by trying
to see the good points in her husband’s
character. They were too hard to And.
But she must endure for the sake of the
baby. As long as he lived that would
be her duty.
When Bert came home that night she
told him of his mother's letter.
“Yes,” he said, “ma said she’d write

her. for I^ord knows I haven’t a cent
to keep you on while I'm away. Times

Two Principles.
There are two great principles
at stake in the beauty search. The
first is, cure all the defects you
possibly can.
The second is, cover over in
some artistic way all the defects
you can not conceal.
For instance, if you can bleach
the skin of your throat white, clear
milk white, and it still insists on
being a bit too thin for actual
beauty, cultivate the habit of ar
