FIVE DAILY DUTIES
BEAUTY SEEKER
SHOULD PERFORM
By LUCREZIA BORI
rrlma Donna ef th l,trepolltan Opra
Company.
WH OWH It to ounselvea and posterity to
perform certain dally duties that will
keep up the health and beauty of the body.
Any one who neglects these Invites nature
to Inflict punishment In ways that are far
from agreeable.
Blame only yourself
when blackheads and
plmplea begin to mar
the smooth surface of
your skin. It Is nature'f
method of reminding
you that you have neg
lected to do your duty
Because you have not
properly cleansed your
skin and have been In
discreet In your diet
the pores have becomi
clogged with dust and
grease. which havo
hardened and formed t-UCUKZIA IiOIH
the so-called "blackheads."
Physiologists are convinced that we eat
too much and too rapidly. It la, thereforo,
to your advantage If you value a good com
plexion to eat less and chew more. Over
feeding causes Indigestion, which prevents
the skin from doing Its proper work, and
blackheads are the ultimate result
If you are one of tho many trying to get
rid of blackheads, diet for n while. Dd not
Indulge In Ico cream, candy, pastry, cake
or any of the rich foods that girls usually
like. Fried foods, too, should be shunned.
Drink plenty of water between meals, so
that the system wilt be flushed of waste
material. It Is also nn excellent plan to
drink a glass of hot water a halt hour be
fore breakfast. Add the Juice of halt a
lemon or a pinch of salt to the water.
Now for the external remedies. I advise
the uso of tho complexion brush. Select a
bland soap that agrees with your skin and
use plenty of clean, hot water. When you
feel that the pores are sufllclently cleansed
rinse the face with cold water to contract
the pores and then apply an astringent lo
tion, such as this one:

PRINCE BONCOMPAGNI-LUDOVICI
under Instruction to that end. Last San
day, In the same tapestried ballroom which
wan the scene of her debut four years ago
and of her marriage today, Monslgnor Rus
sell received her Into the Church, Chief
Justice and Mrs. White acting as her spon
sors. After the ceremony today a breakfast
was served to all the Invited guests, about
eighty in all, seated at fourteen tables. The
decorations at all were Identical. Amer
ican beauties and lilies of the valley main
taining the red, white and green color
scheme that had been adopted In defercr.co
to the bridegroom's nationality. At the
bride's table there were seated the wed
ding party, all the church dignitaries, Mrs.
Draper, Mr, Richardson, the Italian Am
bassador and Countess dl Cellere and me
Russian Ambassador and Madame Bakhme
tell. The famous Draper gold plate, which
has seen service at so many notable func
tions, was used. ,
None of the Trlnce'a family was able
to be present. Ills brothers are In active
service ono having recently been wounded.
Ills parents and more distant rela
tives found ft virtually Impossible to leave
Italy under present conditions. In fact.
the Frlnce himself Is due back with his
regiment In December, so It will be a short
honeymoon on this side., of tho water, and
then they will sail away, and Margaret
Draper will take up her new life In the
Palaxzo Boncompagnl, at Rome, as one of
tho war brides of the great struggle.

Fog Slows Up River Traffic
Ferryboats occasionally paid visits to
neighboring piers Instead of their home
bertha early todayi when a heavy fog ever
hung the river front Passage was slow,
the pilots "feeling their way" In order to
avoid accident, while sirens and fogbells
sounded warning chorus. Beyond slight
delay In reaching their places of business
ferry passengers were not Inconvenienced.
Trains leaving the Camden terminal nli
were a few minutes late. Other river traffla
was virtually at a standstill until the fog
lifted.

and Price. Our Prices quoted

we are faithfully holding to our
policy.

cloth several time a day. Discontinue Its
use for a while when dryness results.
Exercise of some form should be ,counted
as one of the dally duties. There are
various exercise from which you can
choose Walk, ride horseback, or systemati
cally follow a series of gymnastics. Tennis
playing Is one of the best and finest forms
of exercise, but there are times when the
weather will not permit of outdoor games.
However, tho tennis racket can be used In
doors to advantage. Serve the ball against
a blank wall and return It aa It rebounds.
This will give you plenty of healthful exer
cise. One seldom stops to think that to have
luxuriant hair It Is necessary to have
healthy hair. For the hair to be healthy
dally attention Is required. This Is not
so laborious as It sounds. Ten or fifteen
minutes given to the care of the hair will
do wonderful things for It
The hair cannot be healthy It the scalp
Is tight and drawn. It Is. therefore, neces
sary to massage the scalp. Use the tips
of the fingers for the massage, and It the
hair Is dry, rub Into the roots a tittle castor
oil or vaseline. After the massage brush
the hair well to promote Its growth, Uso
a brush with long, firm bristles. Another
Important thing to 'remember Is to keep
your brush and comb perfectly clean.
Keep your hands In such splendid condi
tion that you will never need to be ashamed
of them. Take n few minutes each day
to manicure your nails and never fall to
apply a lotion to the skin before retiring,
so that It will be kept soft and white. It
may be necessary for you to visit a mani
curist twice a month In order to have the
nails properly shaped and the cuticle
trimmed If necessary. I never advise the
cutting of the cuticle If It can possibly be
avoided. Apply cold cream or sweet almond
oil to the base and sides of the nails before
retiring, and In the morning push back the
cuticle with the blunt end of nn orange
stick, and In time the half-moons will stay
revealed without having to cut the cuticle.
It the body Is to be kept In a clean,
healthy condition the dally bath Is n duty
that should never be overlooked. A salt
rub will do much toward Increasing the
circulation and energy, while a cold shower
Is excellent for the person whoso nerves are
"on edge,'
Mako n firm resolution to carry out faith
fully the duties which are so necessary to
health, beauty and hnpplneas.
