The prejudice against face powder
has worn away with the prejudice
against hairpins, which were at one
! time among a certain religious sect
thought to be sinful; and the woman
who understands the art of artificial
whitening has secured valuable aid
to daily beauty.
MILK. TREATMENT.
Deep wrinkles are often no more than
dirt. And this can be taken away by
the hot milk treatment.
If you will take the deepest line in
your forehead and examine it, you will
see that row of tiny black specks
lies in the wrinkle. The wrinkle is
not so deep, but appears to be so by
the numerous though tiny blackheads
which line it. Remove the blackheads
by cleansing the skin and the wrinkle
will fade away.
The hot milk face bath is one that
can be recommended. Take sweet
milk, heat it, add a third of the guam
tity of hot water, and use it as though
it were common face scrub, without
soap, and without the scrubbing brush
Wash your face well and let the milk
dry on the skin. Cold buttermilk is
almost as good, and sour milk can be
used as a substitute for sweet milk
but do not in that case heat it, but use
it lukewarm.
The scalding hot facial bath of hot
milk and hot water is a cleansing thing
and whitens the skin wonderfully.
How can l darken my eyebrows?
They are light and thin.
A. Apply sweet almond oil and vase
line, half and half, to the eyebrows
every night with a camel's hair brush.
1 do not think you need dyeing sub
stance, as this will darken them.
@. My hands are tanned and almost
deep red. 1 wash them and wash them
and nothing seems to help them. 1 am
wear gloves.-Bella.
A. Take a fresh cucumber and slice
it lengthwise. Bind this upon your
hands. using strips of white cloth. Let
the cucumber dry on the skin. Wash
off with hot water with a little oat-
meal stirred in. Use plenty of oil
soap and soak the hands daily for f1f-
teen minutes in tepid water.
@. Can you tell me of a good soap
for the skin? Soap roughens my skin
and does not bleach it.-Mrs. Grace.
There are perfumes that do not cost
a great deal, and one of these is suit
able for use as chair sachet. Take
of glycerin half a teaspoonful and add
to it a quarter of an ounce of oil of
geranium. Place a few drops of this
upon absorbent cotton, incase in fresh
cotton layers and make into sachet
bags for the back of the reclining
chair.
A most delightful jar for the use of
the woman who comes home from
work or from shopping with nervous
headache can be prepared by throwing
into rose jar the brokenup stems and
petals of enough scented flowers to
half fill the jar. Shake up twice a
day the year around to keep the petals
from molding.
Pour into this jar one drop of altar
of roses, ten drops of oil of geranium,
three drops of glycerin, ten cloves,
broken into bits, and twenty drops of
violet water.
Hold this jar under the nose when
that exhausted feeling comes on.
Take of rose leaves, maple leaves, the
leaves of pine and oak, enough to fill
your jar. Mreak into bits the size of
rose petals. Add twenty-five broken
cloves, sly crushed cardamon seeds,
two tablespoons of toilet water, ten
drops of ammonia, and ten drops of
any good perfume. Shake daily and
sniff when feeling exhausted.
Dear Miss Martineau: Do you put
up any of the face creams and lotions
you advise? L would like to buy them
of you, as it would save me a great
deal of trouble I have made several
and found them good. Specially the
blackhead cream and wrinkle lotion.
Appreciation. am sorry to say that
1 do not put up the creams and lotions.
But they are so simply prepared that
you can do them for yourself, can you
not? None requires cooking more than
heating over hot water. I do not sell
toilet articles of any kind, nor can l
recommend any one who does.-Chica-
