Clever Beauty Secrets. Revealed by a London Chemist. This series of arlicl-s ■by E. W. Smith, M.P.S., a qualified registered Loudon chemist and pharmacist, 13 par ticu lar I y interesting because of its authontativoness. 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 the puzzled beauty seeker. Mho dispensing chemist, above all others, is ,n a position to judge results from long experience with thousands of cases. Mr Smith has made a special study of the chemistry beauty culture for many years, and the time is ripe for some such expert s clear statements, hacked by the authority of experience and knowledge. Renewing Complexions. m It is foolish to attempt to cover up or hide a sallow complexion, when you can so easily remove the sallowncss itself 1 Kongo and the like on a brownish skin only emphasises tho defect. Tho better way is to apply pure morcolised wax—-the same ns you woidd cold cream —putting it on at night, removing it in tho morning with warm water and soap, following with a dash of cold water. Tho effect of a few applications is simply marvellous. The half-dead cuticulo is absorbed by the wax—painlessly, gradually, in tiny, imperceptible particles—revealing tho beautiful velvety white new skin, beneath. No woman need have a sallow, blotchy, pimply, or freckled complexion if she will just get some good mcrcolised wax and use as suggested. Feminine Moustaches. To women who are annoyed by disfiguring downy hair growths a method of permanently eradicating the same will come as a piece" of good news. For this purpose pure powdered pheminol may be used. Almost any chemist should bo able to supply an ounce of this drug. Tho recommended treatment is designed £iot only to remove tho disfiguring growth instantly, leaving no trace, but also to actually kill the hair roots without irritating the skin. The Kiss Curl. I cannot too strongly condemn tho use of tho hot curling-iron. It means death to tho hair eventually. Moreover, it is entirely unnecessary. Tho hair can bo made beautifully wavy and curly to any extent and in any ffirm desired, merely by using such a simple ingredient as pure silmorine. Tins perfectly harmless liquid should bo applied to the hair with a clean tooth brush at night. In the morning you will find that a very beautiful natural wave and curliness has resulted, and the effect will last many days. The liquid silmerine is very beneficial end is not sticky or greasy. A couple of ounces should last a very long time. The Magnetism of Beautiful Hair. Beautiful hair adds immensely to tho personal magnetism of both men and women. Actresses and smart women are ever on the lookout for any harmless thing that will increase tho natural beauty of their hair. The 'latest, method is to use pure etallax as a shampoo on account of tho peculiarly glossy, 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 its beautifying effect. What Women Hate. Every woman hates a shiny nose aud a dull or greasy complexion. Few know that thoro is an instantaneous remedy at hard in the home, one that is absolutely harmless, and that defies detection even under the closest scrutiny. If you have no oleminite in tho house get about an ounce, and odd 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. The effect will last for many hours, and no powder is required, even under the moat trving conditions, indoors or out. To prepare the face, neck, and arms for a long evening in a hot ballroom nothing can compare with this simple home-made lotion. % IT’S really more economical fo use “Nugget” than not to use it, for “Nugget” preserves as well as polishes.
