SOME BEAUTY SECRETS. BY MIMOSA. My advice to smart women who demand the very best results is to leave most toilet preparations alone. When facial applications are necessary, get only the pure ingredients just sis they come to the chemist himself. I will tell yoxi in this column from time to time just what to get and just how to use it. Do not be persuaded into buying some cheap toilet preparation instead. Any chemist can supply you with genuine original concentrated ingredients if he will, and 1 know personally that most firms make a speciality of selling original packages of all kinds of pure ingredients neat, both direct and by post. 1 can point out to you, however, many useful hints, which involve no expense ut all. " How to Shampoo."—Try pure stallax. I think you could get as small a quantity as two or three ounces. A remarkably good I shampoo is made by dissolving a teaspoonful of stallax in a cup of hot water. This cleanses the scalp well and makes the hair very soft, glossy and wavy. " Run Down." —li you cannot sleep well, nerves just a trifle unsettled, remember fhe body is like a piano and needs to be kept tuned up to concert pitch. The ideal body timer is Iron-Ox Tiny Tonic Tablets. They strengthen and invigorate the whole system and give instant relief from that " tiredout." " done up " feeling. " Rejuvenating the Skin. ' —You should not be discouraged because the face bleach you are using isn't effective: at certain seasons of the year nil skins are more or less discoloured or freckled, and a face bleach is hardly adequate. A substance which I highly recommend is Mercoli/.ed Wax. It is a creamy product with wonderful absorptive properties, and in about ten days, if applied nightly, you wilt find that the old skin has almost imperceptibly entirely finked off and the fresh' skin underneath is apparent. This method is harmless, and the results achieved are most beneficial to one's looks °nd to fhe skin itself. About an ounce will do. " Eyebrows and Lashes."—Have you tried brushing your eyebrows with a small soft brush? An excellent plan is to apply mennaline to stimulate the growth of the eyebrows and lashes as well. fiet only an ounce. It can be applied with (he finger tips. I think you will find that your brows and lashes will soon become more luxuriant after such treatment. " Annoying Perspiration."—For the, offensive perspiration odour you complain of I would by aTI means use a little white pergol; applied to the affected surface with the fniger tips, ti will instantly stop the trouble. " Stimulating Hair Growth "—You should follow the instructions given in this article and in addition make up a good hair and scalp tonic. Take an ounce of horanium and mix it with a quarter-pint of bay rum; rub into the scalp occasionally. It stimulates the growth of hair and prevents dandruff. You will soon see marked improvement in the general condition of your hair. " A Graceful Figure."—Clynol berries will do for you what they lmvr done for hundreds of others like you. Quickly, easily and with absolute safety you can remove all traces of fat without exercises, starvation diet, or fhe weakening effects of fatreducing baths. Three or four clynol berries taken daily, one after each meal, will, in a few short, weeks, reduce your figure to its original graceful proportions. The chemist either keeps or can easily procure them. " Removing Unsightly Hair."—Powdered pheminol is the most practical thing with which to remove the superfluous hair Apply it directly to the surface affected and the hair will wilt so that it can be rubbed off in two or three minutes, leaving no trace. An ounce will last quite a long time. "Avoiding Rouge."—Yes. 1 agree with you that rouge ; s easily detected, but because of that you need not be with ut. colour. It seems essential in a few cases like yours. There is a riowder. very little known to the public, railed colliandum. which blends so remarkably with 'he skin that its use cannot be detected. Of course, some skins require very little colour and vou must be careful to know vour style. "A Soap Hint."—Pilenta is a very good complexion soap that lias been recommended to me by many who find its use delightful. It has a very soothing effect on the skin and at the same time it. is a good cleanser I have not found as good a one as yet " Improving the Lips."—A poor circulation is usually the cause of that blue, bloodless appe*rance of the lips you complain of and for troubles of that kind you should consult your physician. But why let an old-fash-ioned prejudice keep you from seeking a harmless artificial aid temporarily? A -«oft stick of prolactum applied to the lips lives a beautiful and perfectly natural colour and prevents dryness.—Advt.
