HINTS TO WOMEN.

THE KILLING OF SUPERFLUOUS HAIR. It is easy to remove* superfluous hair temporarily, but to remove it permanently is qiiite another iinatter. Not many women know that for this purpose such a simple substance as powdered pheminol may be used, applied directly to the hair. vThe recommended.. treatment is designed not merely to instantly remove the hair, but also to 'eventually kill the roots entirely. Almost any chemise could sopply an ounce of pheminol, which quantity should be sufficient. . A simple way to. quickly IMttfal'se disagreeable body odours is to dust the armpita occasionally with powdered (white) pergol. The Use of the natural allacite of orange-blossoms as : a greaseless cream prevalent among the smartest women. It holds the powder a delightful cool finish to; theTkin, and does. not encourage tho growth of hair. OXYGEN TO REMOVE BAD COMPLEXION. Oxygen has the peculiar faculty,of destroying waste matter in the body without affecting healthy tissues in the slightest degree. Sallow, blotchy and lifeless complexions are caused by the accumulation of waste matter \v,hich adheres stubbornly to the surfaco of the skin. The most practical way to apply oxygen to this waste matter ia to use mercolised wax, such as may bo obtained at the chemist shops.' It should be rubbed well into the skin for several nights and washed off in the mornings, like cold cream. In contact with the skin, it releases oxygen-,' and thus clears the skin .of tho disfiguring waste matter. It is perfectly harmless, pleasant to use and indeed very beneficial as a skin food. To bring a natural red to the Ups, rub them with a soft stick of proAtum. .For tired, hot and perspiring feet, iise a tea4Si>oonful of powdered onalite in.a foot 1 Vi ■ * bath. "WAVY" SHAMPOOS. Few" people know that stallax can be used as a shampoo and is far better than anything else for the purpose. It seems to have a natural affinity for v the hair, leaving it very glossy,' fluffy and with a pronounced natural "wave." A teaspoonful of stallax granules, dissolved in a cup of hot water, is more than sufficient. Genuine stallax comes to* the chomint only' in sealed tins, a quantity sufficient to make up tiventy-five or thirty separate shampoos. The inde-scribable-lustre: it imparts to the hair is quite inimitable. For an actual linir grower nothing equals pure boranium. It is quite, harmless, and sets the hair roots tingling with newlife. The use trf rouge k\ almost always obvious, but powdered collron- ! dum gives a perfectly natural colour and defies detection.
