[PUBLISHED BY SPECIAL ARRANGEMENT.] "YOU WILL BE ASTONISHED HOW IT REMOVES WRINKLES." TOILET TALKS. Simplicity is the order of the day as regards beauty culture. Many women regularly visit the specialist to have their wrinkles ironed out with the help of hot applications, cold creams, and massage. Most of us realise that there comes a time when no amount of persuasion of this sort will avail. TK.s process of "wrinkle removing" is wrong in principle. Both the hot water and the massaging tend to expand and loosen the skin, besides softening the muscular foundation. Tho very opposite result should be aimed at. Tho tissue should be strengthened and the sldn tightened to smooth out the wrinkles. For this purpose ordinary parsidium jelly, obtainable at all chemists, may be used with beneficial effects.

How often do you see ono of the oldfashioned powder pots on your friend's dressing table ? Not very frequently lam sure, They are fast being converted to a moro useful purpose. The truth of the matter is, womon are at last beginning to realise that powder is the " the root of all evil as far as their complexions are concerned, at any rate, and are wisely discarding the powder puff for that ordinary innocont-looking substance known as. clominito. What they do is to obtain about an ounco from their chemist and dissolve it in four tablespoonsfuls of water. This gives a lotion which immediately imparts a delightful bloomy appearance to tho skin; removes, that horrid greasy appearance, and renders powdering quito unnecessary. The result lasts all day under the most trying conditions, and what is far more important, improves the complexion instead of raining ik
