The Women's Comc* SPECIAL COLLECTION OF SMART AND EFFECTIVE BEAUTY ' RECIPES. x What Women Hate. "Helpful Gossip." Every woman hates a'shiny nose and a dull or greasy complexion. Few know there is an instantaneous remedy at 'hand in the. home, one that is absolutely harmless, and that defies detection even 1 under the closest scrutiny. If you have • no cleminito in the house get about an sluice frbm :r your 'chemist, - and- -add, just sufficient water to dissolve it. A little of this lotion applied to the face will instantly cause the greasiness to disappear, end the skin will have a perfectly natural, velvety, youthful bloom that any woman might envy. The effect will last for many hours, and 110 powder is required, even under the most trying con- • ditions, indoors .or out. To prepare the face, neck and arms for a long evening in a hot ball-room nothing can compare with this simple home-made lotion. . . . To make the eyelashes grow long, dark and cur'ing, apply a little mennaline with the finger tips occasionally. It is absolutely harmless and beautifies the eyebrows as well. . . . Pilenta soap Is the most satisfactory for all complexions. It even works well in oold or hard water. Permanently Removing Saperffooas Hair. "Toilet Gossip." How to permanently, not merely temporarilyrremovo a downy growth of disfiguring hair, is what • many women tnsn to know. It is a pity that it is not more generally known that pure' powdered, pheminol, obtainable from the chemist?', may be used for this purpose. It is' Jlied directly to the objectionable h«.r. The recommended treatment not only instantly removes the hair, leaving no trace, but is designed also to kill the roots completely. ... The natural allacite of orange blossoms makes a capital greasefess face cream. It holds the powder pfwfectly, and the natural odour of this Ti/oduot is, of course, most delightful. Many of the smartest women are now using it exclusively, because it does not encourage a growth of hair on th« face. . . The annoying body odtlur sometimes resulting from persplra- < t'tiu'can-Jw instantly neutralised by the /b.V:s.si6ria^' Application of powdered (white) Complexions with Oxygen. "Handy Eecipes." 'Everyone knows that oxygen consumes waste matter in the body. A poor compl, tion is'merely the accumulation of half deadened, or waste matter, upon the mirfaco of the. skin. It sticks on stubbornly, shoiring in the form of eallowness, moth patches and a generally lifeless appearance. Oxygen may bo used with advantage in removing this diafigf/ation. Any chemist should be able to supply mercolized wax. This contains oxygen in k form that is released when it comes in contact with the skin. Naturally the oxygen attacks the deadened matter, but does not affect . the hea thy skin at all. Thus a few applica- I tions of thig perfectly harmless substance soon begins to clear tho skin and reveal the beautiful complexion which every woman has just underneath tho ugly one. The process is pleasant and harmless, and involves no inconvenience whatever. . . . To bring a natural red colour to the lips, rub them with a soft stick of prolactum. . . . For hot. tired or perspiring feet, use a teaspoonful of powdered onalite in a foot bath. A Strange Shampoo, "Cosy Corner Chats." ... I was much interested to learn from this young woman with the beautiful /glossy hair that she never washes it with soap or artificial shampoo powders. Instead, she makes her own shampoo by dissolving a teaspoonful of stollax granules in a cup of hot water. "I make my chemist got the stallax for me," said she. "It comes only in eealed packages, enough to make up twenty-five or thirty individual shampoos, and it smells bo good I could almost eat it." Certainly this little lady's hair did look wonderful even if she has strange ideas of a shampoo. I am tempted to try the plan myself. . . . For an actual bair grower nothing equals pure boranium. It is quite harmless, and sets the hair roots tingling with new life, . . . The use of rouge is almost always obvious, but powdered colliandtim gives a perfectly natural colour and defies detection.—Advt.
