Beauty, it is said, has seven nurses, which, if given full charge, will make of the homeliest woman a picture of charm and loveliness.
These magic seven are fresh air, sunshine, warmth, rest, sleep, food and whatever stirs the blood, be it exercise or enthusiasm.
Be sure to get plenty of sleep. You can sleep yourself into good looks. A long nap and a hot bath will make any woman more attractive, and lift years from her shoulder.
Don't be afraid of sunshine and fresh air. They offer you bloom and color. And deep breathing is surely the hand-maid of the fresh-air nurse. Deep breathing gives a fine figure as well as clear complexion.
Don't sit down to table as soon as you come in from work, or a round of social duties. Lie down, or sit down, for ten minutes, waiting until you can partake of your dinner with the physical machinery rested and refreshed.
Don't bathe in hard water. Soften it with a little powdered borax, or a handful of oatmeal.
Don't bathe the face while it is very warm, or very cold.
Don't wash the face when traveling, unless it is with a little alcohol and water, or a little cold cream.
Don't attempt to remove dust with cold water. Give the face a hot bath with soap, and then rinse thoroughly with clear tepid or cold water.
Don't rub the face with too coarse a towel. Treat it as you would the finest porcelain, tenderly and delicately.--Philadelphia Telegraph.
