hair on the face Is combated by the razor or by depilatory paste, recipes Landed down sometime* from tne days of Cleopatra or the glory of Carthage. In this country women are beginning to realise that neither shaving nor electrolysis are ideal for removing unwanted hair. A method which is steadily gaining in popularity is that of treating the super* lluous hair with a paste made of pure preminol and water. The paste is spread rather thickly on tire hair, and allowed to dry thoroughly. The hair is completely destroyed and can then be painlessly removed with a very blunt knife or a piece of cardboard.
