Clever Beauty Secrets REVEALED BY A LONDON CHEMIST «This series of -articles by E- W. Smith. M.P.S., a qualified registered London chemist and pharmacist, is pa-r--1 icularly interesting because of its authoritutiveness. Conskiering the bewildering mass of toilet i equisites now offered to the public, Mr. Smith’s simple and homely .suggestions should come as a great relief to tho puzzled beauty seeker. The dispensing chemist, above all others, is in a position to judge results from long experience with thousands of oases. 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 statement. backed by the authority of experience and knowledge. Renewing Complexions. It is foolish to attempt to cover up or hide a sallow complexion, when you can so easily remove tho sallowness itself. Rouge’ and the like on a brownish skin only emphasises the defect. The better way, is" to apply pure mercolised 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 half-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. sallow, blotchy, pimply or freckled complexion if she will just get some good mercolised wax and use as suggested. Feminine Moustaches. The women who are annoyed by disfiguring downy hair growths a methxl of permanently (eradicating the same will come as a piece of good news. Eor this purpose pure powdered pheminol may be 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. The 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 bo made beautifully wavy and curly to any extent and in any form desired, merely by using such a simple ingredient as pure silmerine. This perfectly harmless liqjiid should be applied to the hair with a clean tooth brush at night. In the morning you will find that a verv beautiful natural wave and curliness has resulted, and the effect will last .'many days. The l iquid 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 smart women are ever on the look-out for any harmless thing that will increase the natural beauty of the 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 stallax has never been used much for this purpose it comes to the chemist only in 11b. sealed original packages, enough for twenty-five or thirty shampoos. A tea-spoonful of the fragrant stallax granules, dissolved in a. cup of hot water, is more than sufficient, for each shampoo. It is very beneficial and stimulating to the hair, apart from its beautifying effect. What Women Hate. Every woman hates a shiny nose and a dull er greasy complexion. Few know that there is an instantaneous remedy at hand in the home, one that is absolutely harmless, and that defies detection even under the closest scrutiny. If yon have not c’.eminjie in the house, get’ about an ounce, and add just sufficient water to dissolve it. A little of this lotion applied to the face will instantly causp tho 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 is required, even under the most trying conditions, indoors or out. . J.o prepare the face, neck and, arms for a long evening in a hot ballroom, nothing can compare with this simple home-ir ude lotion. __________
