LONDON BEAUTY WRITERS. WEEKLY SELECTIONS FROM NOTED BEAUTY EXPERTS „ WRITING FOR THE ENGLISH PRESS. ' SIMPLE AND EFFECTIVE METHODS. By Olga Amsdell, Special Correspondent, London, Eng. GREY HAIR-HOME REMEDY. There are plenty of reasons why grey hair is not desirable, and plenty of reasons why hair dyes should not be used. But, on. the other hand, there is no reason why you .should have grey hair if you do not want it. To turn the hair back to a natural colour is really a very simple' matter. One has only to get from the chemist an ounco of concentrate of tammftlite and mix it with four ounces of bay rum. Apply to the hair with a small sponge for a few nights and the greyness will, gradually disappear. This liquid is not sticky or greasy, and does not injure the hair in any way. It lias been used for generations with most satisfactory results by those who havo known the formula. , >'?>;> BLACKHEADS FLY AWAY, 'if A practically instantaneous remedy for blackhoads, greasy skins and enlarged pores, recently discovered,, is now coming into general use in the boudoir. It is very simple, harmless and pleasant. Drop a stymol tablet, obtained at the chemists, in a tumbler full of hot water. After the v effervescence has subsided bathe the face in the liquid, using a small sponge or soft cloth. In a few minutes dry the face and the offensive blackheads will coma right off on the towel. "Also the large oily pores immediately close up and offace themselves naturally. The greasiness disappears and the skin is left smooth, soft and cool. This simple treatment is then repeated a few times at -intervals of four or-five days to ensure the permanence of the result. EMERGENCY COMPLEXIONS. Even a completion which is hopelessly dull or greasy can be made beautiful in a moment by a perfectly harmless home recipe. If you have no cleminite in the house, get about an ounce from your chemist, and add only enough water to dissolve it. The-process defies'detection, and the result is an immediate appearance of velvety, youthful "bloom" which every woman desires. The effect will last all day under the most trying conditions, indoors or out, and renders powdering quite unnecessary. This simple substance is also very good for the skin, and no possible harm can come from its regular use EFFECTUALLY KILLING SUPERFLUOUS HAIR. Many women know how to remove ugly growths of superfluous hair temporarily, but few know how to remove it permanently. For this purpose pure powdered pheminol may be used. Get about an ounce from your chemist and apply a little directly to the objectionable hair. Tho purposo of the recommended treatment is not meroly to remove the superfluous hair instantly, but also to kill the hair roots completely in c comparatively short time. HOW NATURE MAKES NEW COMPLEXIONS. It is well known that the human skin is constantly undergoing a tearing down and building up process. With advancing years or waning vitality this tissue-change lags: the lifeless, soiled surface skin stays on so long that its owner gets a "poor complexion." "Commim.. sense tells us this dead skin cannot bo enlivened or beautified by any cosmetic, lotion or powder. The natural thing to do is to actually remove the offensive skin—removo . the bad complexion. It has been found that ordinary mercolized wax completely absorbs the devitalised skin, in minute particles, so gently,. gradually, as to cause no inconvenience. Mercolized wax, which any chemist can supply, is put on at night hko cold cream, and washed off in the morning. If ypu : would have a brilliantly beautiful and youthful complexion, just use this simple treatment.

FALLING HAIR. How often one hears the lament- "I nayo -everything, on the market, and my hair comes out in handfulls." Not so surprising either when you come think, it over. -Hair tonics to he effec.tive must bo' fresh, and there is no earthly reason why every., woman should not make her own lotion at home The finest vegetable tonic obtainable is' made by mixing a packet of boranium with i pint of bay rum and adding sufficient water to fill a half-pint bottle. This lotion rubbed briskly into The scalp sets the hair roots tingling with new life, and will, if persevered with, give you back your "crowning glory." HOW TO HAVE THICK AND PRETTY HAIR. Soaps and artificial shampoos ruin many beautiful heads of hair. Few people know that a teaspoonful of good stallax dissolved in.a cup of hot water has a natural' affinity for the hair and makes the most delightful shampoo imaginable. It leaves the hair brilliant, soft and wavy, cleanses tho scalp completely and greatly stimulates the hair growth. The only drawback is thatstallax seems rather expensive. It comes to the chemist only in -Jib packages, .which retail at about four shillings. However, as this is sufficient for twenty-five or thirty shampoos, it really works out very cheaply jm the
