spoonfuls of -water, or witch-haae!, and use it as \ face lotion, smoothing the skin with the fingers until it is dry. This method is perfectly harmless.

Grey Hair. I have observed many attempts of many people o conceal grey hair. Some of these experiments were amusing, some disastrous, and some were fuccessful. Personally, yl believe I shall let my lir turn when the appointed time comes; but, if were going to try to evade it, I would give a rial to a real old "grand-mother" formula that vould probably do the work. This formula, I am nformed, has been used with degrees of success for many generations, and consists merely of two ounces of concentrate of tammalite mixed with hree ounces of bay rum. It is applied to the ;rey hair a few times with a small sponge, and ladies tell me it appears to darken the hair to a ip.tural shade, not like a dye, but gradually and naturally. Miscellaneous Hints. \ few useful hints from my friends on aids to beauty are as follows: The eyebrows and lashes may be made to grow stronger and darker by applying mennaline, a specially delicate pomade, with the finger tips t night. Rouge is often obvious, and many women thereore prefer to use powdered colliandum, which gives a most natural tint. The lips may be prevented from drying and chapping by touching them with a stick of prolactum, which also gives them a good colour. Freckles are most effectively combated with ammoniated mercury creams, of which jettaline is the best.
