1 Clever Beauty I Secrets. a London Chemist. This series of art id'a by R. W. Smith, M.P.S., a qualified registered London chemist and pharmacist, is particularly interesting because of its authontativeness. Considering the bewildering mas* 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-(K-rienco 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 such expert’s clear statements, hacked by the authority of experience and knowledge. Renewing Complexion#. It is foolish to attempt to cover up or hide a .sallow complexion, when you can so easily remove the sallowness itself. Kongo and the like on a brownish skin only emphasises the defect. The better way is to apply pure mcrcoliscd wax—the same as 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 cuticulc is absorbed by the wax —painlessly, gradually, in tiny, imperceptible particles—revealing tho beautiful velvety white new skin beneath. Xo woman need have a sallow, blotchy, pimply, or freckled complexion if she will just get some good mercolised wax ond use as suggested. Feminine Moustaches. To women who are annoyed by disfiguring downy hair growths a method of permanently eradicating the same will com© as a piece of good news. For this purpose pure powdered phcminol may be used. Almost any chemist should bo able to supply an ounce of this drug. Tho recommended treatment is designed not 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 the use of the hot curling-droll. 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 simple ingredient as pure silmerine. This perfectly harmless liquid should bo applied to the hair with a clean tooth brush at night. In tho 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 and is not sticky or greasy. A couple of ounces should last a very long time. The Magnetism of Beautiful H^lr. Beautiful hair adds immensely UT tho personal magnetism of both men and women. Actresses and smart women are ever on tho lookout for any harmless thing that will increase the natural beauty of their hair. Tho latest method is to use {jure stallax as a shampoo on account of the' peculiarly glossy, fluffy, and wavy effect which it loaves. As stallax has never been used much for this purpose, it comes to the chemist only in Jl-b sealed original packages, enough for twentyfive or thirty shampoos. A teaopoonful 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, ap.art from, its beautifying effect. What Women Hate. Every woman hates a shiny nos© and a dull or greasy complexion. Few know that there is an instantaneous remedy at hand in the home, one that is absolutely harmless, and that defies detection even under the closest scrutiny. If you have no cleminits in tho house got about an ounce, and add just sufficient water to dissolve it. A little of this lotion applied to the 'face will instantly cause tho greasiness to disappear, and tho 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 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 home-made lotion., Revealed by
