By "JEANNETTE."

These are, undoubtedly, days of exceptional nervous strain for one and all of us. Anxiety, with its beauty-destroying influence is casting its shadow over the lives of many of us women, and while perhaps a few—the more stoical among us—can avoid worrying over past and prospective evente, we may all, with a little care and forethought, succeed in proventing the results of worry from being noticeable in our appearance. To these fortunate few, this little chat will, however, be as interesting and instructive as to those who stand in real need of help in toilet matters, and may be the means 01 bringing to their notice some hitherto unknown method of retaining or regaining that beauty of face and figure which is the birthright of every woman. Some of the ingredients mentioned below are, at present, not generally known to tiie public, but any good chemist will usually be found to have a small quantity m stock. J

This treatment will strengthen the flabbly tissues and restore the contour of the face.

I am pleased to be able to tell you of a quick, easy, and pleasant way to reduce both. Get a small quantity of clynol berries from the chemist's and take one after each meal, three times a day. Weigh yourself after one month' 6 treatment, and you will be I delighted with the result.

Superfluous Hair.—Dark-complexioned women are far more frequently troubled with a growth of superfluous hair than those with fair skins, and . , lrst s ' Rn of " ,eSL> objectionable hairs steps should be taken to remove them, or t-hev will develop into a. strong growth which will take a Very long lime to destroy. A little powdered phemmol applied to this growth will remove the unsightly blemish, destroying it permanently if the hairs be but few. Two or more applications may be necessary, if the growth be unusually strong; but about one ounce of phcminol should li.» sufficient for the most stubborn case. I'heminol run be obtained at the chemist's, and a little IKjwdered alum should be obtained at the same time for dusting the skin before applying the phcminol. b CORRESPONDENTS. looking because it needs thorough cleansing and renewing- of the oufer cuticle. To do this, get a tin of mercolised wax,-and with the tips of the fingers rub a little gently into the skin, coins over th 6 entire face and neck.
