Beauty Secrets Revealed.

Renewing Complexions. THE average woman of to-day is usually satisfied if her complexion is passably pretty, little knowing that an exquisite skin is now within hor roach, providing she has the good sense to stop using cheap made-up preparations, and adopt what has now become known as the mcrcolised-wax habit. It is a pity that every woman in the land cannot be apprised of this simple method. The few to whom its virtues are already known have complexions that are the envy ■of all their friends, and, as is usually the case, the majority of them refuse to divulge the secret. However, tho formula has now been verified, and is known as morcolised wax. Inquiries at several chemists' shops have resulted in ascertaining that this substance has been known to the select few for some years as a complexion beautifier; but it is only until quite recently that it has been used to any extent for this purpose. It was also explained how mercolised wax renews the complexion; _ but, as this is rather technical, it is not proposed to repeat it here. It will be sufficient to say that through some peculiar action the wax absorbs the dead and discoloured outer cuticle, revealing the fresh young complexion which every woman has underneath. The process occupies about ten days, and the change is so gradual and imperceptible that no discomfort whatever is caused. The treatment is perfectly harmless, and the wax may bo used as often as desired. Blackheads Fly Away. A PRACTICALLY instantaneous remedy for b-ackh'eads, greasy skins,- and enlarged pores, recently discovered, is now coming into general use in the boudoir. It is very simple, harmless, and pleasant. Drop a stymol tablet, obtained at the chemist's, in a tumbler full of hot water. After the. ■ effervescence has subsided bathe the face in the liquid, using a small sponge or soft cloth. In a few minutes dry the face and the offensive blackheads will come right off on the towel. Also the large oily pores immediately close up and efface themselves naturally. The greasiness disappears and the skin is left smooth, soft, -and cool. 'This simple treatment is then repeated a few times at intervals of four or live days to ensure the permanpnne of the result.

A DISTRESSING lack of hair will mar the most beautiful face, and, after all, there_ is really no need to have poor Or impoverished hair if a few commonsense rules are observed. First of all, hair tonics must be freshly-made in order to obtain the best results, and thousands of women, and men, too, are now making up their own lotions with most satisfactory results. For this purpose they obtain from the chemists one ounce of boranium and mix this with a quarter pint of bay rum; quite a simple and, according to all accounts, rem*. Wo'y effective. This simple homemade otion quickly removes all dandruff, and creates a growth of new healthy hair j»hich will gladden tho heart of any woman. One word in conclusion. Do not experiment with your hair,. long suffering though it may be. Nature will surely revolt if you continue to subject the hair and scalp to ail kinds of fanciful treatments. Employ a tonic by all means if such is required; but, having found a satisfactory one, use no other. Good Shampoo Important. THE hair shoulc? be allowed to breathe, and the greasy film around each strand . must be removed with a mild nonalkaline shampoo. } Soaps should be t -booetl. Tho very best solution for the purpose can be made by dissolving a teaspoonful of stallax granules in a cup of hot water. _ It stimulates the scalp to healthy action, and at the same time leaves the hair in that soft, fluffy condition so much admired. Any chemist can supply you with an original packet of stallax, sufficient to make twenty-five or thirty shampoos. Magic for Superfluous Hair. IT is astounding the number of women who suffer from unsightly growths of hair on the face, and it will come as a piece of good news to know that there is a simple substance, known as powdered pheminol, which will remove it immediately and permanently. Mix a small quantity into a thin paste_ with a little water, and apply- to the objectionable growths. In t"o minutes all trace of the hair will have entirely vanished, and your skin will be as soft and smooth as a child's.
