A TIIiKTAX TOILKT. LONDON, .lime In Tibet, although so remote from iln* in II imiices of Western civilisation, woman lacks none oi her more civilised sister's love of making herself heantiful, and is prepared to go through considerahle inconvenience and even pain to attain this olijeetive. The seeker after heanty when retiring lor the night rubs her lace and hands and neck with melted hotter, •he idea being to remove any windchapped skin and to soften the cuticle ready for the morning. The hotter is allowed to remain on the skin all night. A Tibetan woman never washes at night owing to this practice. The following morning, before washing. the face is dusted with very finely powdered ashes in order to whiten the complexion. After allowing the ashes lo remain for a few minutes, the face is scraped with a tightly twisted silken Hired. All superfluous hair is thus removed, and the Tibetans say that it does not grow again for some considerable time. The next item on the programme is a wash. If soaj) is available it is used, j hut if uot a towel steeped in boiling water forms a substitute. In the meantime, the red wrappers of the imported Chinese tea bricks are being steeped in warm water for use as rouge, and the lips are carefully tin ted with the dye thus obtained. Mustard oil is rubbed into the hair, wliieh is then plaited fairly loosely in two long plaits, one either side of the head. The headdress is then fastened on to the hair.
