Clever Beauty Secrets. Revealed by a London Chemist. This series of nrticl'3 ■hy E. W. Smith, M.P.S., a qualified registered London -chemist and pharmacist, 19 particularly interesting because of its authontaliveness. Considering the bewildering mass of toilet requisites now offered to the public, Mr Smith’s simple and homely suggestions should come as a great, relief to the puzzled beauty seeker. The dispensing chemist, above all oLhers, is .11 a position to judge results from long experience with thousands of cases. Mr Smithl has made a special study of the chemistry of beauty culture for many years and the time is ripe for some such expert’s dear 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 sallowness itself. Kouge and the like on a brownish skin only emphasises the defect. The better way is to apply pure mercolised wax—the same aa you would cold cream—putting 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 is 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 just get some good mercolised wax and use as suggested. Feminine Moustaches. 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. 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. I cannot too strongly condemn the use of the hot curling-iron. It means death to the hair eventually. Moreover, it is 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 sitmerine. 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 silmerine is very beneficial and 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 magnetiem of both men and women. Actresses and smart women are ever on the lookout for any harmliss thing that will increase the natural beauty of their hair.* The latest method is to use pure stallax as a shampoo on account of the peculiarly glossv, fluffy, and wavy effect which it leaves. A a stallax has never been used mush for this purpose, it comes to the chemist only in Jib sealed original packages, enough for twentyfive or thirty shampoos. A te-aspoonful of the fragrant stallax granules, dissolved ia a cup of hot water, is more than sufficient for each shampoo. It is very beneficial and stimulating to the hair, apart from ita 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 cleminite 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 greasiness 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 i 3 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 compare with this simple home-made lotion.
