A* a woman eannot be beautiful without having a good complexion, and a* many women are decidedly ignorant of even the aimpleet rule* for keeping the complexion n a good condition, a New York Journal reporter obtained the following hinte ae aids to the complexion. Borne women are born with beautiful skins, clear, soft and peaob-Uke, but tbere are very few women i u this climate who oan keep their com plexions clear and handsome without coo mderable care. There u something in the New York air, its hanhueee, or saltuces most probably , that tends to ooarseo and rougbvn the skin. Nowhere will on* see smoh bad complexions among the general run of women as in New York. In Phila- delphia and Boston, in Washington, Chicago, even in gnmy Cincinnati, the complexions of the girla and women have a f reahnees, a soft color, whiob thoee of Mew York girl* and women laok. Uf oour*e tbere are a number of exception* to this rule. There are both women and girls in New York whose complexions are exquisite. The first thing a woman should remem- ber when she wants to improve hnr com pleuon i*, that nothing rubbed on the *km iteolf i* going to help it very materially. The k lions and or earn ' and prepara- tions of one kind and another, which are prepared by quack* tor " beautifying" the *kin, are all humbugs, and no sensible woman ihonld ever be led into buying them. To otlain a beautiful akin one moat begin and diet properly. Butter, (at mekt and greasy food of every kind must not be eaten. Coffee and tea must be given up, so must olaret and all kind* of wine, and milk or lemonade eubstilnted. Fruits and vegetables should be eaten in abun dance, rich candies and cakes avoided, pie never should be touched, and pickles and aoid food generally should be dispeuied ilh. A woman who follows the above rule* will find that her skin will become smoctta and clear after several mouths have paased. Of course the dittiog mu<t be thorough and careful. No improvement oan be made unleee it is. A tableepooutul of sulphur taken every other morning for a week, and then not taken again for three da} a, aid then taken every uber morning for another weak, U one of the beat things to clear the com- plexion. It aou like magic. It should always be mixed with molasses or some- thing that will clear it from the system. Bait a tableepoouful dissolved in a goblet of milk is an old-faabtoBed reoip* tor beautifying the oonjplexion. It ear- tainly is a *imple remedy, and if it doe* not help the complexion it will itrengtbiu the ayitem. A great deal depende on the oonatitution of the person aua tne kind of complexion she has. What will help one woman wonderfully will Have no itUot whatever on others. One thiLg is certain, however milk is always conducive to soft- ening and w utening the skin, and it is a noticeable fact that girla who have never been allowed to drink tea >c coffee, *nd who hate drank quantities of milk, have generally, when they reach the age of JO, very beautiful complexion*. Boiling water is alao on* of the beet things with which to keep the oom pie HOD in order. A tumblerful should be drank one hour before every meal. If it ie dis- agreeable by iteelf the juioe of half a lemon should be added. Bugar should not be need. Meet women in summer lime are too oare toe* of their complexion*, and wb*n winter ox me* and they go out to balls and parties they regret it. The *un is excellent lur the complexion if it does not get loo much of it. A little browning and freckling laifttimee very beneficial, but when the (ace i* exposed to too great a measure of the ann's rays the akin u apt to become coarse. Veils, very thin ones, should be always worn at a seaside reeort, uuleee paravol* are earned. The salt air and the uu together are bad for the complexion, though excellent for the general health. Faehiouabla women and girls in New York always have their arme and heok* polished " before going to a kail or other ettertainmeLt where they a||>ear with very deoollete drees n. The " polishing ' greatly buautine* the *kin. l-'imt the arm* and uiok are rubbed very thoroughly with glycerine and roee water. After ihia ban Deen rubbed iff the arms and shoulders are covered with cold cream, which is allowed to remain en fifteen minutes. Thu is then rubbed off with a piece of fine, soft, while flaunel, and the aims aid abouldere are covered with " baby " powder and rubbed very thoroughly. This finishes the opera- tion. When this is completed they ook like polisbid marble, and the skin aeems to take on a wonderfully fine and beautiful texture. Some one has snggeeted that the face might be treated in the same way with good effect, but this would be next to im- possible, as the texture of the ikin on the arma and shoulders is always different from that of the face. The face should alwayi be washed in water that has the ohill taken off it. Warm water u not good for the complexion, despite all that baa been said to the contrary , neither is real cold water. The one makes the skin flabby, and in time wrinkle* it ; the other roughen* it. B*r> UBSATNB AT M K K I >.
