Clever Beauty Secrets. a London Chemist This series of articl'a iby E. W. Smith, M.P.S., a qualified re* gisteml London chemist and >3 particularly interesting because of its aiuhontativoness. 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. The dispensing chemist, above all others, is .n a position to judge results from long ex(pcrionco with thousands of cases. Mr Smith has made a special study of the chemistry of beauty culture for many years, and the time is ripe for some suoh expert 3 clear stateuienls, backed by the authority of experience and knowledge. Renewing Complexions. It is foolish to attempt to cover up or hide a sallow complexion, when you can eo easily remove tho sallowness itself. Long© and the liko on a brownish skin only emphasises tho defect. Tho better way is to apply pure merooliecd wax—tho eamo oa you would cold cream-putting it on at night, removing it in the morning with warm water and soap, following with a dash of cold water. The effect of a few applications is simply marvellous. The half-dead cuticulo is absorbed by the wax—painlessly, gradually, in tiny, imperceptible particles—revealing the beautiful velvety white new skin, beneath. No woman need have a sallow, blotchy, pimply, or freckled complexion if she will just get soma good, mexcolised wax and use aa (suggested. Feminine Moustaches. To women who are annoyed by disfiguring downy hair growths a method of permanently eradicating tho same will come as a piece of good nows. For this purpose pure powdered phominol may be used. Almost any chemist should bo able to supply an ounce of, this drug. The recommended treatment is’ designed not only to remove tho disfiguring growth' instantly, leaving no trace, but also to actually kill tho hair roota ■without irritating tho akin. The Kiss Curl. I cannot too strongly condemn the uae of tho hot cnrling-dron. It means death to the hair eventually. Moreover, it is entirely unnecessary. Tho hair can bo made beautifully wavy and curly to any extent and in any form desired, merely by using such a slmplo ingredient as pure sihnerino. This perfectly harmless liquid should be applied to the hair with a clean tooth brush at night. In the morning you will find that a ■very beautiful natural wave and ciirlinesa has resulted, and tho effect will last many days, Tho liquid silmoxine is very beneficial and is not sticky or greasy. A coupl© of ounces should last a very long time. The Magnetism of Beautiful Hair. Beautiful hair adds immensely to the personal magnetism of both men and women. Actresses and smart women are over on tbo lookout for any haamliea thing that will increase tho natural beauty of their hair. Tho latest method is to use pure etallax as a shampoo on account of the peculiarly glossy, fluffy, and wavy effect which, it leaves. Aa stallas has never been used much for this purpose, it cornea to the chemist only in ilb sealed original packages, enough for twentyfive or thirty shampoos. A teaspoonful of tho fragrant stallage granules, dissolved in a cup of hot water, is more than sufficient for each shampoo. It is very beneficial and stimulating to tho hair, apart from ita beautifying effect. What Women Hate. Every woman hates a shiny noso and a dull or greasy complexion. Few know that there is an instantaneous remedy at hand in tho home, one that is absolutely harm lens, and that defies detection oven under the closest scrutiny. If you have no clominiloin tho house got about an ounce, and add just sufficient water to dissolve it. A little of this lotion applied to tho Taco will instantly canoe thegreasiness to disappear, and tho skin will have a perfectly natural, velvety, youthful bloom, that any woman might ettvy. Tho effect will last for many hours, and no powder is required, oven under tho most trying conditions, indoors or out. To prepare °tho face, neck, and arms for a long evening in a hot ballroom nothing can compare with this simple homo-mado lotion. Revealed by
