Clever Beauty Secrets REVEALED BY A LONDON CHEMIST. tThis series of articles by E. IV. Smith, M.P.S, a qualified registered London chemisi. arid pharmacist, is particularly interestingbecause of its authoritativeness. Considering the bewildering mass of toilet ’ requisites now offered to the public,, Mr. Smith’s simple and homely suggestions should come as a great relief to the puzzled beautyseeker. The dispensing chemist, above all others, is in a position to judge results from long experience with thousands of cases. Mr. Smith has made a special study of the chemistry of beauty culture for many years, and the time; is ripe for some such expert’s clear mate-, mem, backed by the authority of ex- j perience and knowledge. 1 Renewing Complexions. I It is foolish to attempt to cover up 1 or hide a sallow complexion, when you can so easily remove the eallowness itself. Rouge and the like on a brownish ekin only emphasise the defect. The better way, is to apply pure mercolized wax—the same as you would cold cream —putting it on at night, removing it in the morning with warm water and soap, following with a dash of cold water. The effect of a few applications is simply marvellous. The naif-dead cuticle is absorbed by the wax—painlessly, gradually, in tiny imperceptible particles—revealing the beautiful velvety white new skin beneath. No woman need have a eallow, blotchy, pimply or freckled complexion if ehe will just get some good mercolized wax and use as suggested. Feminine Moustaches. The women who are annoyed by disfiguring downy hair growths a method of permanently eradicating the same will come as a piece of good news. For this purpose pure powdered pheminol may bo used. Almost any chemist should be able to supply an ounce of this drug. The recommended ’treatment is designed not only to remove the disfiguring growth instantly, leaving no trace, but also to actually kill the hair roots without irritating the skin. Ths Kiss Curl. I cannot too strongly condemn the use of the hot curling-iron. It means death to the hair eventually. Moreover, it is entirely 'unnecessary. The hair can be made beautifully wavy and curly to any extent and in any form desired, merely bv using such a simple ingredient as pure silmerine. This perfectly harmless liquid should bo applied to the hair with a clean tooih brush at night. In the morning you will find that a very beautiful natural wave. and curliness has resulted, and the effect will last many days. The liquid silmerine is very beneficial and is not sticky or greasy. A couple of ounces should last a very long time. The Magnetism of Beautiful Hair. Beautiful hair adds immensely to the personal magnetism of both men and women. Actresses and snan women are ever on the lock-out for any harmless thing that will increase the natural beauty of their hair. The latest method is to use pure stallax as a shampoo on account of the peculiarly glossy, fluffy and wavy effect which it leaves. As si allax has never been used much for this purpose it comes to the chemist only in Jib. sealed original packages, enough for twenty-five or thirty ehampoos. A fea-epoonful of the fragrant stallax granules, dissolved in a cup of hot water, is more than sufficient for each shampoo. It is very beneficial and stimulaiing to the hair, apart from it beautifying effect. What Women Hate. Every woman hates a shiny nose and a dull or greasy complexion. Few know that there is an instantaneous remedy at hand in the home, one that is absolutelv harmless, and that defies deiection even under the closest scrutiny. If you have not eleminite in the house, get about an ounce, and odd just sufficient water to dissolve i>. A little of this lotion applied to the face will instantly cause the greasiness to disappear, and the skin will have a perfectly natural, velvety youthful bloom that anv woman ‘ might envy. The effect will last for many hours,, and no powder ie required, even under the most trying conditions, indoors or out. To prepare the face, neck and arms for a long evening in a hot ballroom, nothing can compare with this simple home-made lotion.
