4 Girls Toilet articles,

A sensible girl will not keep q lot Of
cosmetics and drugs on her toilet table.
but there are a few articles she should
always have in q convenient place. She
should have an array of glass-stopped
bottles containing alcohol, alum, cam
phor, borax, ammonia, and glycerine Or
vaseline. A little camphor and water
may be used as q wash for the mouth
and throat if the breath is not sweet.
Powdered alum applied to a fever sore
will prevent it from becoming very un-
slightly and noticeable. Insect stings
or eruptions on the skin are removed by
alcohol. A few grains of alum in tepid
water will relieve people whose hands
perspire very freely, rendering them
%unpleasantly moist. A few drops of
sulphuric acid in the water are also
beneficial for this purpose, and r also
desirable for those whose feet perspire
freely. W. should always recommend
care in the $ of scented soap; in
many cases the perfume is simply a dis
guise for poor quality. A good glycer-
inc or honey soap is always preferable.
OF eouree, n may rely on scented soap
from q high-class manufacturer, but it
costs more than it is worth. In addition
to the soap for bathing, white CASTLE
should be kept for washing the hair.
Occasionally a little borax or ammonia
may be used for this purpose, but it is
usually too harsh in the effects.
