Miss Gladys Cooper Explains Some Beauty Secrets. The Popular London Star Favours Simple Methods. I have been asked to giva a few simple recipes that I know, either through personal use or by observation, to be valuable to the toilet, and which are within the reach of the average woman. In these days of £100 facial treatments and elaborate and expensive beautifying processes my suggestions may read like lessons in economy, bnt they are not especially so intended. They are merely practical suggestions, in which the keynote is "effectiveness." All the materials or ingredients which I mention are either already at hand in the home or may be readily procured from the chemist. Fortunately 1 do not suffer from the ailments or troubles enumerated below, bnt some people who are not so fortunate have told me their experiences, and with your permission'l will Bet forth, some remedies which they have found to be efficacious.

This may bo applied to tho hair roots occasionally with the finger tips with good results. Complexion Renewals. Complexion experts advise me that a normal, healthy complexion is constantly renewing itsel! by dropping off tiny flakes of worn-out tissue, thns revealing the fresh young skin underneath.. They 6ay that, when this process is checked by age, expo3nre, or some of many causes, the compleriou becomes dull and ugly. The rational treatment recommended is to help the skin perform the natural functions of "shedding" worn-out tissue. Put this purpose, I am informed, there is nothing bo good as pure mercolized wax, used for a lev; nights, jnst as you would use a lace cream. It is claimed that it possesses a special affinity for the effete soarf-skin, which it quickly removes by absorbing it. Tho face, I am assured, will soon look much younger and prettier under this truitment. The Curling Iron. Don't use a hot iron to curl your hair. Some of my friends make the cunningest sort of curls wherever they want. them simply by dampening the hair with liquid silmerine before retiring at night. When the hair is dry in the morning it wiU be softly curly just where yon want it to be. This method is perfectly harmless, even beneficial t:o the hair; and the curls last a long time. The liquid ifl quite pleasant and neither sticky nor greasy. How to Shampoo. Most women, I am informed, do not know how to uso stallax properly when shampooing with it. tJnless the hair is naturally very oily, a stallax shampoo may sometimes leave it rather dry. But I am told, if you will apply olive oil freely to your hair and scalp just before shampooing with stallax, the result is most delightful. The hair will bo left clean, soft, bright, and wtivy, the olivs oil having properly balanced the action of this wondeiful hair cleanser. spoonfuls of water, or wftch-haael, and nse it i face lotion, smoothing the akin with the fingi .intil it is dry. This method in perfectly harmless. t am told that a really beautiful, natural, velvety Inors or in tha ball room or theatre, and that it jivea a muoh more natural appearance to some skins than does ordinary powder. Grey Hair. I hare observed many attempts of many people o conceal grey hair. Some of these experiment* were amusing, some disastrous, and some we! successful. Personalty, I believe I shall let m., nir turn when the appointed time comes; but, tf were going to try to evade it, I would give ft 'rial to a real old "grand-mother" formula that vould probably do the work. This formula, I am nfonned, has been used with degrees of 6tiecess lor many generations, and consists merely of two )nnees of conoentrato of tammalifce mixed with hree ounces of bay ram. It is applied to the ■(rey hair a few times with a small sponge, and 'allies tell me it appears to darken the hair to a otnral shade, not like a dye, but gradually and naturally. Miscellaneous Hints.
