As You Were By ALICE DELYSIA You osk me bow you can look as young and as pretty now that you are thirty-live, as you did when you wore twenty. Well chere anile, it is quite simple, and it will not be expensive. You will not need to go to a great beauty specialist, who will charge you many hundred guineas, but just to use a few simple things every day and perhaps every night. Your complexion is not good, but that is because the skin is the old dead skin you have had all those years, (let rid of it, and give the fresh young skin beneath it a chance to show itself, anl make you look “as you were.” Get two ounces of mercolized wax from any chemist, and smear a little carefully over your face and throat every night. I>o not trouble to rub it in as you would have to do with other creams. Simply smear it on the skin, and the wax will do the rest. Gradually this wax will peal off all ths old dead skin, and you will be astonished and charmed with the beauty and freshness of the new complexion, which is waiting to show itself. DON'T USE POWDER Then throw away your powder puff. Powder clogs the pores of the skin, so that it cannot breathe properly, and nothing can live and be healthy if it cannot breathe freely. You know that, don’t you? Yet you powder your face and prevent ths skin from having a chance to breathe. Never use powder. Instead, get an ounce of cleminite and mix it with four ounces of hot water, bottle it, and, with a pad of -cotton wool, apply it to your face and neck. It will give the skin a soft, velvety bloom which will not rub off. Also it will last all day or all the evening, even in a warm ballroom. A TOUCH OF COLOUR A little colour in the cheeks is very becoming. Get some colliandira at any chemists, and use this instead of rouge. It is quite harmless to the skin, anl a pretty flush to the cheeks, like the tint of a wild rose. WAVY HAIR Your hair, too, wants attention If you wish to look as pretty “as you were.” Four ounces of stallax will last you for twenty shampoos, and once a week shampoo your hair with a dessert spoonful of the granules dissolves in a pint of hot water. Don’t rinse the hair, it is not necessary, simply dry it in the usual way. Stallax, used regularly, will make your tresses soft and silky, and give them a natural wave. Then to stimulate the growth and increass the vitality of your hair, anply a lotion mane by mixing an ounce of boranium with four ounces of bay rum. Rub this well into the roots every night, and in a few weeks your hair will be thick and luxuriant, and you will look, if you follow all my advice, ns young and as pretty “as you were”—shall I say at twenty.
