Clever Beauty Secrets. a London Chemist, This series of articl’B by E. W. Smith, M.P.S., a qualified registered London chemist and pharmacist, la particularly interesting because of its authoritativemess. Considering the bewildering mass of toilet requisites now offered to tho public, Mr Smith’s simple and homely suggestion* should com© as a great relief to tho puzzled beauty seeker. The dispensing chemist, above all others, is ia a position to judge results from Ion" experience with thousands of cases. Mr Smith nos 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 tho authority of experience and knowledge. Renewing Complexions. It is foolish to attempt to cover up ra hide a sallow complexion, when you can so easily remove the eallowness itself, Kongo and the like on a brownish akin only emphasises the defect. Tho better way is to apply pure mercolised wax—tho same as you would cold cream—putting it on at iiight, 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. Tho half-dead cuticule is absorbed by tho 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 some good mercoiised wax and HM as suggested. Feminine Moustache®. 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 be able to supply an ounce of this drug. Tbe 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 tbe skin. The Kiss Curt. I cannot too strongly condemn tho um of the hot curling-iron. It means death to the hair eventually. Moreover, it ia entirely unnecessary. The hair can be 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 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 ia very beneficial and is not sticky or greasy. A_ couple of ounces should last a very long time. Tho Magnetism of Beautiful Hair. Beautiful hair adds immensely to -th* 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. Th» latest method is to use pure stallax as a shampoo on account of the peculiarly glossy, fluffy, and wavy effect which it leaves. A« 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 ia a cup of hot water, is mare than sufficient for each shampoo. It is very beneficial and stimulating to the hair, apart from its beautifying effect. What Women Hate. Every woman bates a shiny nose and a dull cr greasy complexion. Few know that theoro is an instantaneous remedy at hand in the home, one that is absolutely harmless, and that defies detection oven under the closest scrutiny. If you have no cleminito in the house get about an ounce, and add just sufficient water to dissolve it. A little of this lotion applied to tho face will instantly cause the areasiness 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 most trying conditions, indoors or out. To propare the face, neck, and. arms for a long evening in a hot ballroom nothing can com. pare with simple home-made lotion.
