A FEW TOILET HINTS. (By Phyllis Monkman.j. In this article Miss Phyllis Monkroan, who is universally acknowledged to be the mast beautiful and fascinating artist on the English stage, gives a few hints on the care of tho Complexion, . Hair, etc. A perfect complexion is, like the proverbial poet, born and not made, but I do not quite agree. Whether one's complexion is good or otherwise, depends very largely upon the care one bestows upon it. Never use a face cream unless you are sure that it is a really good crte,nnd if you take niv advice you will always use pure mercolized wax. This preparation makes the skin soft and white- and keeps it eternally fresh and young-looking for it gently and imperceptibly peels off all the deacl outer skin, and leaves the new skin beneath." I believe everyone has a pretty complexion underneath, you know, and, it only requires a little mercolized wax to remove the ugly old one and disclose the new pretty one. Just get a little mercolized wax from your chemist, and when you go to bed, smear a little gently over your face and leave it on all night. Then in the morning wash it off, and even after one night's use you will be surprised at the improvement. you will notice. FOR THE HAIR. The chief point in the care of one's hair is the choice cf a good shampoo. You want something which will make it soft and fluffy, and yet not too dry. For this you cannot do better use a little stallax. Stallax is not a new preparation, and it was known to our grandmothers, who took far more care of their hair, I believe, than we do, and it not only makes the. hair soft but brings out - all the bright lights in it. Pat abor.t t. dessertspoonful of stallax granules (whicK you can buy at any chemist) in half a pint of hot water, allow them to- dissolve and use as an ordinary shampoo, and unless you wish to, you need not rinse your hair." for stallax leaves it quite soft without rinsing. Should' your hair be thin or falling too much, I would adviso you to get! two ounces of boranitim and mix it with water and a little Bay rum. This you should dab into the roots every night, after massaging the sc&lp for five minutes "with the tips of the fingers. In a few days the excessive. fall will stop and soon you will have quite a fine head of hair.—Advt. KiS|C''
