"After a walk hurry home and
get under a shower."
By Mme. Lina Cavalieri.
IF I were asked what mouths are most
favorable to feminine beauty I should
answer that they were the late Spring
months, and that April Is the best friend to
beauty of all tha year.
The cold winds of Winter and early Spring,
that roughened and mads brittle the hair,
have passed. No longer are the natural oils
of the skin dried by them, destroying tha
fine texture of the skin and making Its salln
llke Ideal seem far off.
Tho stomach has revolted against the six
months' regimen of rich and heavy food, and
craves as Its due the light and palatable
green things.
Beauty by natural selection seeks the
early salads. She feasts on that nour
ishing, appetizing dish that Is ono of the
tirst signs that Spring has come. She craves
fruits and has a growing distaste for the
sweets on which she has too freely feasted
during tho Winter. April Is the equinox uf
health and beauty. It marks a change of
tastes, a chango of habiis, an utter "right
about face" In the manner of llv'. ig.
The weather has tempted her to laziness

TO-DAY Mme. Cavalieri explains why April is indeed the friend of beauty
and tells her readers how they may profit by that friendship. She ad
vises every young girl to provide herself with a "storm suit," so that she
may improve her hair, her figure and her complexion by long walks in the April
ihowers. She says: "On my estate in France I discard the skirt, wearing only
knickerbockers." She shows that in April the skin has sufficient moisture and re
quires a smaller quantity of cold cream and that only of the simplest. She gives
more of her valuable collection of toilet formulae, including those of a famous
court beauty.
