LONDON'S BEAUTY WRITERS.

WEEKLY SELECTIONS FROM NOTED BEAUTY - EXPERTS * WRITING FOR THE ENGLISH PRESS. SIMPLE AND EFFECTIVE METHODS. By Olga Amsdell. Special Correspondent London, Eng. ," THE KILLING OF SUPERFLUOUS HAHt. It is easy to remove superfluous hair temporarily, but to remove it permanently is quite another matter. Not many women know that for this purpose such a simple substance as powdered pheminol may te used, applied directly to the hair. The recommended treatment is designed not merely to instantly remove the hair, but also to eventually kill the roots entirely. Almost any chemist could supply an ounce of pheminol. which quantity should be sufficient. RENEWING COMPLEXIONS BY ABSORPTION. If your complexion is marred with salowness, moth patches, pimples or freckles, it. is useless to potter with, powders and paints, lotions, creams and things, in an effort to get rid of the trouble. Unless you have some ability as an artist, you ▼ill mar your appearance still more. The -»ew and rational way ie, to take off the complexion itself, with all its offensive marks. Just get some pure meicolised wax at the chemist's and use at night the same as cold cream Remove next morn* ing with water and soap, following with dash of cold water. The mercolised wax absorbs the half-dead scarf skin in flaky particles so gradually no one guesses you are treating your faceunless it be by the .esult., which is truly wonderful. There is nothing like it for "bestowing a natural, healthy and beautiful complexion. HAIR CULTURE. There is no excuse for falling hair; no excuse for thin, sick hair, or bald spots. No beauty of features can make up for a distressing Jack of hair growth, and the following formula will positively force the hair to grow. Mix about an ounce cf boranium in *-pint of bay rum, shake the bottle well and allow it to stand for half an hour, then ado. i-pint of fresh cold water, and strain. Rub well into the scalp, and in two weeks' time look for the new growth; you will not require a microscope to see it.

A '" BLACKHEAD " SECRET. Blackheads, oily skins and enlarged pores usually go together, bat can be instantly corrected by a unique new process. A tablet of stymol, obtained from the chemists, is dropped in a tumbler of hot water, which will of course " fizz" briskly. When the effervescence has subsided the face is bathed with the stymolcharged water and then dried with a towel. The offending blackheads, of their own accord, come right off on the towel the large" oily pores immediately contract and efface themselves naturally. There is no squeezing, forcing or any drastic action. The skin is left uninjured, smooth, soft and cool. A few such treatments should be taken at. intervals of three or four days thereafter in order to ensure the permanence of th pleasing result so quickly obtained. DON'T HAVE OBEY HAIK. Grey hair is often a serious handicap to both men and women while still in the prime fit life. Hair dyes are not advisab'o because they are always obvious, inconvenient and often down-right injurious. Few people know that a very simple formula, -which is easily made up at home, will turn the hair back to a natural colour in a perfectly harmless manner. I'ou have only to get an ounce of tammalite concentrate from your chemist and mix it with four ounces of bay rum to prove this. Apply this simple and harmless lotion, lor a <ew. nights to, the hair with a small 1 sponge, and the greyness will gradually disappear. Tho lotion is neither sticky nor : greasy, and has been proved over 'and over again for generations past by those in possession of the formula. ABOUT SHAMPOOS. To quote an- eminent London beauty specialist: —" The slimy egg cannot dissolve the scalp impurities, but only adds to the trouble by completely choking the pores with animal matter." The substance sticKS, decomposes, thereby causing the hail* to assume a dead, "'dull colour." Avoid eggs (and soap to) on your hair. Try the delightful preparation made by stirring a teaspoonful of stallax in a cup ; of hot water. It will bring out newi beauty possibilities in your hair, will clear and prevent dandruff,, and leave that fine fluffy effect so much sought after. 'It also removes excess oil or greauneatt '"' i
