WORDS ON BEAUTY.

Alovoly girl of my acquaintance, whose complexion is enviably beautiful, gives the following as her daily method of treatment, and says she does not wish to make any secret of it. First, her face is well washed in tepid soft water, with a most liberal application of Vo.la/.e Complexion Soap, but when sho has made a copious lather on her skin, and gently rubbed (his in for a minute, she begins to rinse this off again, first with fairly hot water, then with a fresh bowl of tepid water, then with another, and lastly with cold water. > She nover'uses less than four bowls of tepid water to complete her rinsing. She does tin's night and morning. After the night ablution she gently massages her face and neck with Valazu Skin Food for two minutes, and then wipes oil nil that tho skin has not absorbed. After the morning ablution she applies Vnlaae Skin Tonic to the face and neck, as this lotion restores vitality to relaxed gland;;, prercnts wrinkles, and keeps the skin healthy. Lastly, she completely protects tier beautiful comnlexion, in summer and winter, before going out, with Ndveiia Sunproof CWro. This prevents tho skin from ever I being red. rough, tun. or freckled. Tiie upkeep of such a complexion- as here is well worth tho troublo she bestows on it. Valazo Skin J'ood is 4s. and is. Novena Sunproof Cream is 2s. and 3s. Gd. ■Valaw Skin-Tonic is 3s. Od. a bottle.

ridge, fish, bacon, or eggs, toast, and coffee; for dinner, a joint, two vegetables, and dessert; for supper, hot and cold meats, potatoes, preserved tea. Many of tho girls who toko positions as stenographers stay in the hostel as permanent boarders, but no matter how many remain th3ro must bo room made for tho new-comers, who are always the first consideration. "You must remember, in thinking of Canada, the vast extent of the country. It takes five days and nights to cross from Quebec to Vancouver by railway. Naturally, in b country of such size, there are differences in climate, characteristics of tho people, and conditions of work as pronounced'as there aro between_ England and Western Canada. Quebec is largely I''ronch-Canadian in its population, and Ontario, while a beautiful province, does not offer the same rewards to the women who work as do the western provinces. Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, and British Columbia, should be the Mecca rf all women who wish to make money and establish a home in a ne.r country.

■ From £5 to £15 Per Monlh. "Tho women who come out as domestic servants arc certain of finding employment anywhero in Canada at remunerative wages. As high as .£5 a month is pai.l to servants in the west, whereas in tho east £3 or £i a month is considered a fan wage. The women who couio as far west as Calgary, however, are usually tho bet-tor-educated class, who go in for schoolteaching, stenography, hospital nursing, or dressmaking. Stenographers receive iilO to Sl2 it month salary, and an unusually proficient typist can obtain as high, as ffia month. "School teachers must take a four months', courso in the Normal School in Calgary before they aro allowed to teach in Alberta. For this course no tuition fees are exacted, and the necessary books .will probably cost only about .£3. After tb<> completion of this course a competent teacher will receive £U0 the year for public or rural school teaching, and as high as .£2OO the year if she is capable of teaching in a high school. The rural school teachers have a particularly delightful time socially. They aro usually able to stay at ( one of the nicest homes in town for a charge of about 20s. a week. A girl who is musical, who -can either play or sing, is always suro of a welcome, and life'in a western town, even without theatres or pictures galleries, is by no means devoid of amusement. Smartly-Dresjed Women. /'Dressmakers and milliners do exceptionally well in Canada. Tho Canadian woman is very fond of clothes. She is much more smartly dressed than the
