A BEAUTY BLEMISH

AND A WAY TO AVOID IT. Sin'Tfliiuus liair, the greatest of all beauty blemishes, is Yar,t becoming ii very real tri.il to the modern beauty docr.ir. There run bn no denying that a growth of hair on Lho i'ac.o is far more common amongst women nowadays i than in past years, but whether it is duo to the injudicious use of inferior face creams, the cra7,o for fa.r.ial rnasniwre, or tlio result of over-indulgence in'" tatty foods, it would be difficult to say. . . , I i--.iix inclined to think that fawal massage, with cream containing animal fats, is very largely responsible for this grow l.h. USW AX ASTRINGENT. Those who realise that there is a tendency towards a growth should be careful "to imply a good astringent lotion immediately after face with any form of cream. First remove all traces of the cream by wiping the skin with a soft towel or piece of°soi't silk (an old silk handkerchief, white, of course, is for the purpose); then dab the lotion over the skin with a. pad of cotton wool. A few drops of eau do Cologne in rosewater will answer quite well when nothing bettor is available, or extract of witch bawl, diluted to suit the requirements of the individual skin with roseTO BLEACH A GROWTH. Should a growth have already appeared, care should be taken to avoid stimulating it by the use of cither cream or' massage, and the hairs bleached so that they will become hardlv noticeable, in place of cream lotion's should be used to the face, both for cleansing and as a "foundation" for powder. As a bleach peroxide of hvdrogon (10 vol.) is excellent. "Applv the peroxide to each individual hair with a lino camel hair brosli, painting it on the hair and allowing it to dry 7m. This not only bleaches the hair * but, if used regularly twice a wool'- will in time destroy the roots of the hair.— (My "Clarice," in the 'Sunday Chronicle ')-
