SECRETS OF BEAUTY. SELECTED RECIPES FROM HERE AND THERE.—THINGS EVERY WOMAN WANTS TO KNOW. EMERGENCY COMPLEXIONS. "Novel Recipes.' , Even a complexion which is hopelessly dull or greasy can be made beautiful in a moment by a perfectly harmless home recipe. If you have no cleminite in the house, get about an ounce from your chemist, and add only enough water to dissolve it. Apply a little to the face with the finger 'tips. The. process defies detection, and the result is an immediate appearance of velvety, youthful "bloom" winch every woman desires. The effect will last all day under the most trying conditions, indoors or out, and renders powdering quite unnecessary. This simple ■substance is a'.s-o very good for the ekin, and no possible harm can eoine from its regular use. ** * To make the eyelashes grow long, dark and curling, apply a little meirnaline with the finder tips occasionally. It is absolutely harmless and beautifies the eyebrows as well. *** Pilenta soap is the most satisfactory for all complexions. It even \vork3 well in cold or hard water. USING OXYGEN FOR THE COMPLEXION. "Chemistry at Home."' The well-known characteristics of oxygen may be effectively applied to the renovation of the complexion.

It holds powder perfectly, gives the f.icc a cool, fresh appearance which lists, and it doo- not encourage growth of hair on the face. HOW TO HAYS THICK. AND PRETTY HAIR. "Home Talents."
