ALESS.
Should your face be too thin for real beauty give it a mask of coboa butter, This will not only feed the tiny fatty cells beneath the skin, and smooth out the lines which appear when those fatty cells shrink, but will all out the hollows, making the fae rounder and more youthful looking.
"CLEANSING" THE SKIN. » "Before applying the mark cleanse the face and throat with warm water and a good soap. Then rinse off all the soap. with clean, warm water softened with two drops of simple tincture of benzoin. Now, while the skin is still war spread the cocoa butter over the face and throat, earefully covering every scrap of it. Cocoa butter is very hard, and before being applied to the skin should he softened by gentle heat; it is best to put it in a deep saucer, which is placed over a bow! containing hot water. When the butter haa."become soft and creamy spread it evenly and rather thickly over the face and throat, giving special attention to the chin and the skin special attention to the chin and the Allow the kin around the jaws.

Do not wash the face immediately afterwards, as it is not necessary. If the treatment is given in the morning or during the day, when all traces of the batter have been r moved the powder puff can be applied and the skin will look beautifully soft and smooth.
WHEN THE SKIN SAGS.
For u sagging skin a good treatment! is a complexion mask of fuller's earth.!

FOR A HIGH COLOUR..
Qecasionally there is too much colour for real beauty in some coinplexions which may sometimes be greatly in proved by an egg-and-milk ask gives two or three times a week. Beat up thei white of an egg with a teaspoonful d fresh milk till a light frothy mixture obtained. Cleanse, the face thoroughly ns directed for the two previous masks, then spread the egg mixture over it, pat ting it a little thicker on any parts which are extra brightly coloured and from which the colour would be better reinss-! ed Leave the mask on all night it possible, but, in any case "it should re main on the skin for a couple of hours. Then rinse off with clear, slightly warm water softened with a few drops of simple tincture of benzoin. This mak will be found very beneficial in the case of anyone suffering from a red nose. fa this case the mixture need only be ap plied to the nose and may be left of during the day, being disguised by slight dusting of powder.-H.

THE LAST OF HIS TRADE LONELY WHETSTONE WORKER AMONG THE KILLS.
The whetstone or scythe-stone industry, which formerly existed at Blackborgh and Sainthill on the Blackdown Rarge. Devon, Halt, above the pea, is now almost extinct.."
Founded nearly 200 years ago, the in- dustry used to provide employment for large nuobers of men,
women, ind. youth. Now only one worker remains, and his attachment is so strong th despite the loneliness of his calling and the health-impairing nature of the work, he cannot divorce himself from the dear old hills."
This solitary whetstone craftsman is Mr. John Rookley, who, although more than Co, still burrows under the hills and unearths, shapes, and dresses the stones which are regarded as unequalled for the sharpening of weel.
