cleminite, dissolve it in water, and use it as a lotion for your face and neck. It wants to be rubbed into the skin until it is quite dry, and then it leaves a nice, even bloom, and prevents all 'shiniiness.' Bes'des it doesn’t look a bit like 'makeup,' it just gives your face a kind, of peach like bloom which is' a distinct asset.” “I suppose, said tha Bride, "there is no home-made substitute for rouge, is there? Because, you know, I look dreadful when I’m pale.” Elizabeth thought a minute. "I don’t know why powdered colliandum wouldn’t be an excellent thing. It is a soft dull pink, and it tends to deepen a little in a warm room. I should be inclined to try that. Of course, pi'Olactum is the only thing for keeping your lips smooth a<nd healthily red. Yon know that, of course.” "One more problem,” said the Bride. "Before I married, I used to put my hair in curlers. Now I leave it loose at night, because Jack likes to see it down, and of course I have to wave it with tongs nearly every day. I’m so worried because all the colour’s going— I actually found some grey hairs the other day. Shall I use henna or .what to make it bright again?” “Henna, of course not,” said the emphatic Elizabeth. ' “You don’t want to dye your hair at twenty-two —or at sixtytwo if you’re sensible. You must get some taninialite at once —plain, ordinary tammelite —and make it up yourself y't* 1 bay rum. That will soon bring back the lost colour. Do you shampoo with sfallax? Oh, but you should! That makes yuur hair so silky and bright. Of course you must drop tyaving your hair with hot irons. It’s suicide for y° ur hair —makes it dry up and fall out." "But, Elizabeth, my hair is quite straight,” moaned the Bride. "That’s all right," smiled Elizabeth, •'all you want is silmerine. Just comb your hair down the way you want it to go, damn it a little with silmerine, put a slide or two in, and fluff your hair up on each side of the slide. In the morning you will find a nice ki>nk where the slide was. Your hair ought to look naturally wavy, not a. series of hard furrows like a ploughed field. You won’t need to put the slides in more than once or twice a week . . . you’ll find that your hair with a little patience and perseverance will develop, a wave of its own, so that after your stallax shampoo, if you comb it before it is quite dry,, the wave will return of its oivn accord. Two ounces of silmerine will last you for at least six months. Besides, you will be superior to the coal shortage,, for. it is criminal waste of gas to use it to heat tongs. Enough of your looks! Lot’s pass to brighter subjects.” The Bride smiled. "Silmerinoy-sil-merine—l won’t forget that. All right, talk away, Elizabeth.”
