A Few Toilet Hints (By Phyllis Monkman.) In this article Miss Phyllis Mofifcmen, who is universally acknowledged to be the most beautiful and fascinating artist on tho English stage, gives a few hints on the care of the Complexion, Hair, etc. A perfect complexion is, like the proverbial poet, born and not made, but I do not quite agree. Whether one’s completion is good or otherwise, depends very largely upon the care one beetowi upon it. Never use a face cream unless you an sure that it is a really good one, and if you take my advice you will always use pure mercolised wax. This preparation makes the skin soft and wluTe and keeps it eternally fresh and young-look-ing, for it gently and imperceptibly peek off all the dead outer skin, and leaves the new skin beneath. I believe everyone haa- & pretty complexion underneath you know, and it only requires a litt-le meroolised wax to remove the ugly old one, and disclose the new pretty one. Just get a little mercolised wax from your' chemist, and when you go to bed, smear a little gently over your face and leave it on all night. Then in the morning wash it off, and even after 0114 night’s use you will be surprised at thi improvement you will notice. For the Hair. The chief point in the care of one'i hair is the choice of a good shampoo. You want something -which will make il soft and fluffy, and yet not too dry. For this you cannot do better than usa a little stallax. Stallax is not a now preparation, and it was known to our grandmothers who took fax more care of their hair, I believe, than we do, and it not only makes the hair soft, bint brings out all the bright lights in it. Put about a dessertspoonful of stallax granules (which you can buy at any chemist) in half a pint of hot water, allow them to dissolve and use as an ordinary shampoo, and unless you wish to, you need not rinse your hair, for stallax leaves it quite soft without rinsing. Should your hair be thin or falling too much, I woud advise you to get two ounces of boranium and mix it with water and a little bay rum. This you should dab into the roots every night, after massaging the scalp for five minutes with the tips of the fingers. In a few days the excessive fall will stop, and soon you will have quite a fine head of hair.
