To Beautify the Skin.

Choose fjood soap, and water as soft as you can get it, and bathe once a day, us.ing coidor wfarm water, as you find it agrees with you best. First make a free lather on clean hapds not on any flanuel, gloves, or towel;.yub it well into tbe face, and wash it off with tepid water, of which there should be a large quantity in the basin, for if there is much free alkali in the soap used this will be thoroughly diluted, and so will not injure the face. Finally wash the face in clean cold water. This braces up the muscles of the skin and acts as a tonic, ff a person's face cannot stand the cold water to begin with, it may be gradually made colder. In case of a very delicate skin, if the soap be not fau'ty the best way is to use a teaspoon ful of spirits of ammonia in a quart oi distilled water.
