Clever Beauty Secrets Revealed by a London Chemist. «' This series of articles . by,«+ B. W. Smith. M.P.8.. a Qualified re'gistored London cliem- ' Ist and: pharmacist,, is particularly interesting because of its authori.ttitivenoss. Considering the bewildering mass '.''of.'toilet requisites now offered to the public. Mr. Smith's simple and homely suggestions should come as a great relief to tho puzzled -»<*-■ beauty seeker. ,lho dispeimiiir chemist, above all others, is in a position to judge * results from long experience with 'thousands of cases. Mr. Smith has mado a special study of the chemistry of beauty culture for many years, and the time is ripe for somo such expert 3 clear statements, .backed by tho authority of experience ' and! knowledge. Renewing Complexions. - It is foolish to attempt to cover up or hide a sallow complexion, when you can so easily remove the' aallowneßs itself. Roue* and the like on a brownish skin only, emphasises tho defect. The better way is to apply pure mercolised : wax—the. tame as you would cold creamputting it on at night, romoving it in the morning with warm -water and soap, following with a dash of cold water. The effect of a few applications is simply' marvellous. The hnlf-dond cuticle is absorbed by the painlessly, gradually, in tiny, imperceptible particles— revealing ' the beautiful velvety white row skin beneath. < ■ ; ■ „ .- . ~ No woman need have a sallow, blotchy pimply, or freckled complexion if she will just get some good meroolised wax and uw» aa suggested. ■ • .■, ■ Feminine - Moustaches, To women who are annoyed by disfiguring downy' hair growths' a. method of permanently eradicating the same will come. n.« a piece' of good news. For this purpose pure powdered pheminol may be used. Almost any chemist should be able to supply an ounce of- this drug. Ihe recommended treatment ia designed not only to remove the disfiguring growth instantly, leaving no trace, but also to actually kill the hair roots without irritating tho' skin. The Kiss Curl. I cannot' too strongly condemn the use of the hot curling iron. • It means death to 'the hair eventually. Moreover, it is entirely unnecessary. Tho hair can be made beautifully wavy and curly to any extent and in any form desirod. merely by using wich a simple ingredient as pure silmenne. This perfectly harmless liquid should be applied to the hair with a clean tooth brush at night. In the mornings you will trrdtbat ii> very beautiful natural wave, and curliness lias resulted, and the effect will list many days. The liquid etilmerine is very beneficial and is not sticky or greasy. A couplo of ounces should last a very long time. The Magnetism of Beautiful Hair. Beautiful hair adds immensely to the personal magnetism of both men and women. Actresses and smart women are ever on the lookout for any harmless thing that will increase the natural beauty of their hair. The latest method is to use pure' stallax .as a shampoo on account of the peculiarly siossy. fluffy, and wavy effect which it leaves. As stallax has never been used much for this purpose, it comes to the chemist only in Jib sealed original packages, enough for twentyfive or thirty shampoos. A teaspoonful of the fragrant stallax granules, dissolved, in a cup of hot water, is. more than sufficient for each shampoo. It is very beneficial and stimulating to the hair, apart from ita beautifying effect. • What Women Hate. Every woman hates a shiny nose and a dull or greasy complexion. Pew know that there is an instantaneous remedy at hand in the homo, one that is absolutely harmless, and that defies detection oven under the closest scrutiny. If you have no cleminite in the house get about an ounce, and add just sufficient water to dissolve it. A little of this lotion applied to the face will instantly cause the greasiness to disappear and the skin will have a perfectly natural, velvety, youthful bloom that any woman might envy. T*e effect will last for many hours, and no powder is required, even under the most trying conditions, itdoom or. out. To prepare the face, neck, and arms for; a long evening in a hot ballroom nothing can compar* with this aimDle home-made lotion.
