SPECIAL COLLECTION OF SMART AND EFFECTIVE BEAUTY ,\ " . RECIPES. What Women Hate. "Helpful Gossip." Every woman bates a sliiny nose and a *►, dull or greasy complexion.

How to permanently, not merely temporarily, remove a downy growth of disfiguring superfluous hair, is what many women wisli to know. It is a pity that it is not more generally known that pure \ powdered pheminol, obtainable from tho chemists, may be used for this purpose. It is applied directly to tho objectionable /hair. ■ The recommended treatment not oiiiy instantly removes the hair, leaving no trace, but is designed also to kill the roots completely. . . . The natural allncite of oraage blossoms makes .a capital greaseless faco cream. It holds the powder perfectly, and the natural odour of this product is, of- course, most delightful. llany of tho smartest women are now using it exclusively, because it does not encourage a growth of hair on the face. . . . The annoying bedy odour sometimes resulting from perspiration can be'instantly neutralised by the occasional application of powdered (white) pergol.

Renewing Completions with Osygea. "Handy Recipes." Everyone knows tliat oxygen consumes waste matter in the body.' A poor complexion is merely the accumulation of half deadened, or waste matter, upon tho surface of the skin. It sticks ou stubbornly, showing in tlw form of sallow-Tie-:i, moth patchcs and a generally life-, less appearance. Oxygen may be used with advantage in removing this disfiguration.

A Strange Shampooi "Cosy Corner Chats." ... I was much interested to learn from this young woman with the beautiful glossy hair that sho never washes it. with soap or artificial shampoo pow- j ders. Instead, she makes her own shampoo bv dissolving a tcaspoonful of stallnx granules in a cup "of hot water. "I make my chemist get tho stallnx for me." said she. "It comes only in sealed packages, enough to make up twenty-five or thirty individual shampoos, and it smells eA good I could almost eat ' it." Certainly this little lady's hair did Jook wonderful even if she lias strange ideas of a shampoo. I am tempted to try the plan myself. . . . For an actual hair grower nothing equals pure boranium. It is quite harmless, and sots tho hair roots tingling with new life. . . . The use of rouge is almost always obvious, hut powdered colliandum gives a perfectly natural colour and defies detection.—Advt.
