young girl and l feel just miserable.
Would you please tell me how to take
the hair off my lip? By doing so you
will make me happy.
Wash your upper lip with boracic
acid. Apply pure peroxide of hydro
gen with few drops of ammonia add
ed. This will bleach the hair and
eventually ruin the constitution of the
roots.
Georgia. have always felt that the
cold creams already prepared are not
pure. Will you kindly give me a re-
cipe for a good cold cream? My face
always feels drawn after washing it
with soap.
Your face feels drawn simply be-
cause you do not wash off all the soap.
You must rinse and rinse. Then dip
your finger tips in cold cream and
lightly rub the face. Massage until
the cream disappears. A cold cream
which agrees with every skin is made
of mutton tallow and oil of sweet al
monds, half and half. Vaseline and
sweet oil, half and half, makes nice
wrinkle cream.
V. P. F.-Do try to help me in my
troubles. Can anything be done to
speedily make cheeks plump? Also to
make a small chin more prominent
and square. Also is there any treat
ment that will make a nose more
slender and pointed or even to only
appear so? This may be foolish ques-
ton to ask. but as you have helped
me before feel that you can do it
again.
To make the cheeks plump have
missing teeth supplied by bridge work.
Let your chin and nose alone As
your cheeks get plumper your chin will
grow larger and your nose will seem
a better shape. Where cheeks are
hollow they draw the flesh away from
the chin.
Mrs. K.-Do not try to reduce the
size Of the bust except by exercise.
Walk all you can and take gymnastic
exercises. Also diet Do not apply the
lotions or the implements which you
mention. Perhaps they may be good,
but do not like to say use them, be
cause of the certainly dangerous pos
sibilities.
A reader asks how her hair, which
shades from dark brown at the roots
to red brown at the ends, can be equal
lied and made to look nice. For this
if l were in her place, l would sham
poo my hair once in three weeks with
pure soap jelly, made at home, using
plenty, quarts and quarts of hot water
used as a rinse. l would then brush
it well, say fifteen strokes once a day,
not more. Then would wave it and
dress it so as to bring out all the diff
ferent shades, for there is nothing as
beautiful, in the eye of an artist, as
hair that shows all the red lights. The
shade of hair is burnt almond" rath-
er an unusual shade for head Of
hair.
Faithful Reader-To make the eye
brows dark, take one dram of India
ink and three drains of gum Arabic.
Mix, and slowly add four ounces CT
rose water. Apply with brush. Ask
your druggist If you have the right in
gradients for the purpose, for there is
many slip between the sending of g
correct recipe and the correct applica-
ton of the same.
There are plenty of harmless curl
ers. Glycerin and water will make
stiff wave that will stay in. So will
rosewater and gum tragacanth. But
it is better to treat the hair so that 1t
will be light in texture and inclined
to curl at the slightest touch of the
tongs.
No Name asks how to close the
pores in her face. She should clense
them and keep them clensed until
they close by gradual contraction, nat
urally.
Miss Disfigured-For the blackheads
heat the face with hot water, wash it
well in an oil soap, well indeed, just
as though you were scrubbing your
hands, and use a face brush for the
operation. Rub in a face emollient
and in the morning, after you have
washed your face, you will find few
of the blackheads remaining.
Superfious Hair: Have you tried
powdered pumice?
