A few Toilet Hints. (By PHYLLIS MOh'KMAN.) In this article Miss Phyllis Monkman, who is universally acknowledged to be the most beautiful and fascinating artist on the English stage, gives a few hints on the caro of the Complexion, Hair, etc. A perrect complexion is, like the proverbial poet, born ahd not made, but I do not quite agree. Whether one's complexion is-good or otherwise, depends very largely upon the care one bestows upon it. Never use a face cream unless you are sure that it is a really good one, and il" you take my advice you will always use pure mercolized wax. This preparation makes the skin soft and white and keeps it eternally fresh and young-looking, i'or it gently and imperceptibly peels off all the dead outer skin, and leaves the new skin beneath- I believe everyone has a pretty complexion underneath, you know, and it only requires a little mercolized wax to remove the ugly old one and disclose the new rhetty one. Just get a little mercolized wax from your chemist, and when you go to bed, smear a little gently over your face and leave it on all night. Then in the morning wash it off, and even arter one night's use you will be surprised at the improvement you will notice. For the Hair. The chief point in the care of one's hair is the choice of a good shampoo. You want something which will make it sort and fluffy, and yet not too dry. For this you cannot do better than use a little stallax. Stallax ls not a new preparation, and it was known to our grandmothers who took far more care of their hair, I believe, than we do, and it not only makes the hair sort, but brings out all the bright lights in it. Put about a dessertspoonrul or stallax granules (which you»can buy at any chemist) in hair a pint or hot water, allow them to dissolve and use as an ordinary shampoo, and unless you wish to, you need not rinse your hair, for stallax leaves it quite sort without rinsing. Should your hair be thin or falling too much, I would advise you to get two ounces of boranium and mix it with water and a littlo bay rum. This you should dab Into the roots every night, after massaging the scalp for five minutes with the tips of the lingers. In a rew days the excessive fall will stop and soon you will havo quite a line head of hair.
