Before the Mirror By MIMOSA. My advice lo smart women who demand the very best results, is to leave most toilet preparations alone. When facial applications are necessary, get only the pure ingredients just as they . com.c. to the chemist himself. I will tell you in this column from time to time just what to get and just how to use it. Do not be persuaded into buying some cheap toilet preparation instead. Any chemist can supply you with genuine original concentrated ingredients, if he ..will, and 1 know personally that most firms make a speciality of selling original packages of all kinds of pure ingredients neat, both direct and by post. 1 can point out to you, however, many useful hints, which involve no expense ' at all. : '. " Beauty in Breathing."—Yes, indeed, a great deal can be done toward brightening the eyes and complexion by systematic breathing for breathe slowly and deeply to the fullest capacity of the lungs. You should stand erect by an' ,opeu window. Of course, the corsets should not 'be worn during this exercise. " About Shampooing."—Even the best shampoo is somewhat drying, and if your hair is not naturally oily, I suggest that just before the shampoo.you apply olive oil thoroughly to the scalp, rubbing it into the hair roots vigorously. Then use pure stallax for the " shampoo. Dissolve a teaspoonful in a cup of hot water. This will leave the hair very clean and glossy. "A Velvety Skin."—lt is hard to tell you what kind of powder to use, skins vary so. 1 suggest that in your difficulty you use no powder at all, but apply a little lotion made ■by dissolving one ounce o£ cleminite in four ounces of water. This gives a much better finish than any powder, suits all complexions, and stays upon the face during tie most trying conditions, as long as you could wish. It makes the skin look very soft and velvety, and its use cannot be detected. "Kcnewing the Complexion."—Yes, the dismust be .absolutely removed, and I know of no safe way to do this except to use a- little • Mercolizcd Wax, applying it at night like cold cream. The active principle in Mercolized Wax soon absorbs the weakened and devitalised surface which so annoys you, revealing the fresh and beautiful young skin underneath, which is always there only waiting to be freed. The process usually takes about ten days, is quite harmless, and acts so imperceptibly that no one can tell what you are doing. " Long, Curling Lashes."—Clipping the eye lashes is very often unsuccessful. They sometimes do not grow again. Far better to apply a little pure mennsline with the fingers to the eyebrows and lashes just before retiring at night. This .greatly stimulates the growth, and darkens tie colour o£ the hairs. "How To Make Hair Tonic."—There is no reason why you should buy the high-priced hair tonics you mention, when you can make just as good or better yourself at home. Get an ounce of boranium, and mix with a quarterpint of bay rum. Apply this to the scalp each night, working it in with the finger tips, ;ind ;in a short time you should sec a considerable improvement, and find a complete I absence of dandruff. " To Reduce Plumpness."—The lalcst method of reducing obesity certainly is far more pleasant and convenient than all previous •methods. It consists merely in taking clynol berries. The fat person who wants to reduce without the usual rigid diet, exercise, sweating baths, etc., now puts a few of these little brown berries in his or her pocket and swallows three or four each day. Most chemists stock them. " The Rouge Question."—Complexions of your type never acquire a natural rosy tint, no matter what may be done' for them. If you really insist upon a colour, let me dissuade you a little cqlliandum'^Wt" thc° finfier tips, thus accomplishing the desired result by a means which is not obvious. " Annoying Ododrs."—The annoying odour the perspiration. It can easily be nullified by nil occasional application of powdered pergol lo the affected surfaces. " Removing Hair."—l always recommend caution in the selection of a hair remover, and therefore suggest that you only use powdered pheminol, instead of the depilatories you mention. This powder, applied direct to the superfluous hair, causes it to wither and die in a few moments, when it can be rubbed off, leaving no trace. "Aboift Soap."—l should \«ay that your trouble is caused by the soaps you have been trying. Personally, I always recommend a soap called Pilenta, because I have never known it to fail to give satisfaction. It is an absolutely pure superfatted soap, designed exclusively for use upon delicate skins, and it has the most delightful perfume I have ever found. ."Car« of the Tjps."^—l regret to say lips like yours never will have a bright colour. They go with the type. I see no real harm in resorting to an innocent artificial aid, especially when it makes so much difference as in your case. The best thing for the purpose is just a little stick of plain pralactum; applied to the lips it gives them soft and moist.
