A bunion needs the per sonal care o f a physician. Ingrowing nails should be softened by soaking in warm water, lifted from the flesh at the corners by thin pieces of cork or shreds o f cotton, and scraped in the middle so that there will be a groove from one end o f the nail to the other. The nail should never be permitted to grow long. The steaming process for clearing the face o f imperfections consists o f anoint ing the face with some greasy substance, steaming from a kettle, washing in hot water and applying a soft powder. It is better to have this done by a skilled oper ator, as it is rather a difficult operation. The inunctions of cod liver, sperm and other oils for increasing flesh consist of rubbing the nil on the skin and letting it remain there until the skin is nearly dry. Qentle massage is o f benefit during the anointing. To reduce flesh. Turkish baths, mas sage, plenty o f exorcise, temperance ia regard to drink and the use o f sweet and oily foods, are recommended.

Several well known New York actresses, whose duties never call for any sort o f dancing, are adepts in the skirt steps, having learned them for this very purpose—to counteract a tendency to t outness. Women of all ages, from 16 to 50, are found in my classes, and the elder women are, many of them, as light and graceful as their younger classmates. A ll fancy they have a talent for tbe work, and many give evidence o f having prac ticed at home before taking lessons. “ There a rea number of small wom en’s clubs and coteries of intimates whose existence is not suspected outside the initiated, at whose gatherings the skirt dance is done with varying profi ciency by different members. Two that meet in lovely rooms on the top floor of Murray hill homes count som eof my pu pils among their members, and they are delightful dancers.
