COLOURED TOWELS.

Largo Turkish towels in fast colours are the fashion at the moment, and the variety is Infinite, from the pale pastel shade to the pure bright colors. Some towels have the ground work of coloured cotton and the loops of white; this gives f delightful shot effect. Others have, patterns of different colours right the way through (states an exchange).

When buying bath towela pay special attention to the plain border. If this is Arm and closely woven the kowol will wear well, as this is the foundation of the loops. A loosely woven border will indiente a loosely Woven towel with poor wearing. qualities. It is always best to buy towels of reliablé make, and several well-known towel manufacturers now stamp their towels so that one knows what one is purchasing. It it also recommended to wash Turkish towels before using them for the first time; they should not be mangled, but simply wrung - by hand and shaken out.

Bath mats, to match the towels give the bathroom a touch of in- dividuality, and one particularly pretty design incorporates swans.

The juices of fruit and vegetables bring first aid to over-heated roughened or greasy skins.

A Cucumber Mask.

A cucumber mask is delightfully cooling and refreshing. Peel and pulp a fresh cucumber, and then. spread the pulp' over the neck and face, keeping it in place with loosely tied lint bandages. Lie down for half an hour until the pulp has" practically dried and remove the mask with cold water followed by the application of rose water.

Slices of cucumber tled in a washed muslin bag and rubbed xently in to the face, neck and arms is a very old-fashioned Summer beauty aid, but a very good one, and if you have not the time to give yourself the mask I strongly advise you to use. It if your skin shows signs of irritation.

For Discolouration.

A more elaborate complexion lotion is made by peeling, slicing, and cooking a cucumber in a double boller until it is soft. Put the elices in a soft linen or muslin bag and squeeze out all the juice. Add to the juice one-fourth of ́apirits of wine and one-third of elder-flower water. Shake well and pour off into a glass bottle. This lotion is splendid for discolouration due to exposure.

"A Mentor Superb.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the "China Year Book" is one of the most romarkable produc- tions of its kind in the world.

No-one who pretends to desire to discuss or study affairs, in China, can afford to do with out this book."-North-China Daily News,

The "China Year Book" as it is, presented to-day, is a volume that no newspaper, commercial, government, in fact any office can do without."-China Presa.”

"There is no single work containing such a mass of varied and most useful information on things Chinese as the "China Year Book." Similar publications exist in many other countries, but few can compare with, and nonsexcels, the latest issue of this work."--Finance & Commerce..
