It strengthens the eyes to bathe them either in very hot water or in very cold. Better yet is to take a piece of absorbent cotton rounded and made into a'little pad to fit the eyes, dip them in ice water and place them on the lids, changing them as they become hot. After a few minutes ol such treatment the eyes will feel com sorted and relieved to a great degree This is specially grateful to the eyes after riding in the wind or after hav ing been subjected to the dust and cinders of a railway or the glare of bright reflections on the water when on a boat. Those who have a tendency to weak eyes should daily use an eyecup in which is placed a boracic acid solution. The saturated solution diluted one-half is generally the best and should be made fresh for each eye. The eye should be opened and shut in the solution half a dozen times or more so that it will thoroughly bathe the eyeball as well as the lids. Lines or wrinkles under the eyes may be relieved by the use of a good pure skin food. Steam the parts affected by laying hot wet cloths on them for fifteen minutes, dipping the fingers into the skin food. Massage gently along the line taken by the wrinkles for ten or fifteen minutes. Give this treatment twice daily with steady persistence, and after a month or so's treatment an improvement should be noticeable. The Bride Beautiful. A touch of color in the cheeks on the wedding day is to be desired, and if it can be obtained in no other way a dust of rouge is quite excusable, for the bride who is ;> wan ghost is anything but good to look upon. But before re sorting to this subterfuge try washing the face at the last pioment with* piping hot and then very cold water and then patting the cheeks, the fingers wet with cologne diluted with rosewater. But to secure a real look of health, which is necessary for the chill white frock, a cupful of orange juice every morning before breakfast or half the quantity of pineapple juice taken at the same time will very likely pro mote a natural color on the wedding day, for both of these juices act upon the liver, whose renewed health is immediately shown in the freshening Of the skin. As to foods, carrots contain the iron necessary for color, and when accompanied with rare beefsteak no better food could be offered the bride who fears paHor on her day of days. The girl who is likely to be red should eat only white meats and fish for a month before her marriage and then see to it as we'l that her collar, sleeves and slippers are not too tight. A Hair Hint. Where the hair is inclined to lie unbecomingly close to the head a little fluffing out in the new coiffure is advisable, though it need by no means attain the proportions of a large pompadour. If one has enough hair she may make it into puffs, but most of the hairdressings are made with false puffs or braids, pinned on. These may be made of your own combings or bought in a shade matching your own hair. When the hair is thin a pompadour to wear under it is to be preferred to a roll. A roll may lie pinned at the back to form a support for the knot, which may be composed of pinned on puffs, or a switch may be twisted into a Psyche knot and pinned to your own hair. Face Preparation. A nice preparation for the face is eau de cologne with glycerin, but while the glycerin is softening and nourishing and the eau de cologne is stimulating the latter dries too quickly and has a tendency to rob the glycerin of its go.od effects. So that while.a face lotion may be helped in some instances it is just as apt to be injurious in others. In Paris at present all the women are trying to get their faces to look like paste seemingly. They use ivory powder apd a great deal of it. The blonds remind one of the dead white colorings of the Flemish beauties reproduced by Rubens. French Powder Puff. • American women are usually content to carry a mouchoir and a fan in their theater bags, but the women of France often add, as a necessary to their well being, a powder puff and a small bonbonnierre filled with some favorite confection. As soon as a Frenchwoman is comfortably seated in a theater she takes out the powder puff, sewed perhaps in the center of a miniature handkerchief, and dusts it lightly over the face.

A Perspiration Cure.

If you suffer from perspiration try mlxlng an ounce of common baking powder and the same amount of unscented talcum powder. Keep in air tight bottle and use freely after washing. A little ammonia in the bathing water Is excellent Then dust with the powdered mixture.
