I Clever Beauty I Secrets. a London Chemist This scries of articba iby E. W. Smith, M.F.S., a qualified registered London cheatisfc and pharmacist, is particularly interesting because of its authoritativeness. Considering the bewildering mas* of toilet requisites now offered to the public, Mr Smith’s simple and homely suggestion* should como ns a groat relief to the puzzled beauty seeker. The dispensing chemist, above all others, is in a position to judge results from long ex(icnenre 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, 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 so easily remove the eallownees itself. Rouge and the like on a brownish skin only emphasises the defect. The better way is to apply pure mercolised wax—the same o» you would cold cream —pirtting 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 ia simply marvellous. The half-dead cuticule 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 jjust get some good mercolised wax and u* as suggested. Feminine Moustaches. To women who are annoyed by disfiguring downy hair growths a method of permanently eradicating the pame, will pome as .a piece of good news. For this purpose pure powdered pheminol may be used. Almost any chemist should be able to supply an ounce of this drug. The recommended treatment is designed not only to remove the disfiguring growth instantly, leaving no trace, but also to actually kill the hair roots without irritating the skin., . The Kiss Curl. Revealed by I cannot too strongly condemn the DM of the hot curling-ixoau It means death to the hair eventually. Moreover, it is entirely unnecessary. The hair can be mado beautifully wavy and curly to any extent and in any form desired, merely by using each a simple ingredient as pure silmepine 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 curliness has resulted, and the effect will last many days. The liquid silmerino 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 the personal magnetism of both men and women. Actresses and smart women are ever on the lookout for any harmless thing that will increase the natural beauty of their hair. The 'latest method is to use pure stadlax as a shampoo on account of the peculiarly glossy, fluffy, and wavy effect which it leaves. As Btallax 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 Btallax 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 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 clominito in the house get about an ounce, and add just sufficient water to dissolve it. A little of this lotion applied to the 'face will instantly cause the igreasiness to disappear, and the skin will have a perfectly natural, velvety, youthful bloom that any woman might envy. Tbs ■effect will last for many hours, and no powder is required, even under the most trying conditions, indoors or out. To prepare the face, neck, and arms for a long evening in a hot ballroom nothing can ocna* par* with thia simple home-made lotion..
