line, while a little heavy for the face,
is good for the neck and shoulders. 1t
removes the stain left by the high
collar about the throat
Helen S.: Will you please give me
a cream for chapped face and hands?
l want cream that will not cause
growth of hair. 1 have tiny red spots
on my nose and cheeks. Please tell
me how to remove them.
A cream which will not cause the
hair to grow is made by melting a
thimbleful OF mutton tallow with a
thimblefu1 each of almond oil, olive
oil, and pure sweet OIL Scent with
lavender. This makes a small guam
tity of good cream.
Mrs. No-Name: Kindly tell me how
| can improve a muddy spring com
plexion.
Take of pure spermaceti and white
wax one-half an ounce each. To this
add half a pound of almond oil and
two ounces of lanolin. If you desire
a soft cream, add to this four drains
of orange flower water.
A L.: l have several brown spots
on my forehead that look like warts
Some people tell me that they are
moles. l have never tried anything
for them, as l am afraid to. They
are near my eyes. What would you
advise?
If they are warts 1 would shave
them off, or get physician to shave
them off with a razor, made perfectly
antiseptic. If they are moles they
can be burnt off with the sulphur of
a match. The spot will be sore for a
few days. Or you can use tiny bis
ter upon them, just enough to remove
the dark spot Perhaps it would be
better to let physician cut them for
you, for fear they may bleed too
much.
Mrs. E. L. R.: Some time ago
read directions for removing superf1u-
Gus hair from the lip. Will you kindly
repeat your advice? 1 am stout and
have drunk mineral waters and diet
ed, but withous success. What shall
| do?
Directions for removing superfuous
hair are given above. AS for stout
ness there is nothing but dieting. Fol-
low directions given in a previous is
sue.
Mrs. Antipose: am delighted that
you reduced your weight so rapidly.
You say you cannot wear your last
seasons gowns? That is a good sign
that you are growing thinner.
Mrs. j.: Give me a remedy for a
hard, rough skin. My skin gets worse
every day, although I massage it and
use plenty of soap and water.
Take of almond oil and lanolin half
an ounce each. Add a teaspoonful of
tincture of benzoin. Use as face
cream. Do not go out into the air
for at least two hours after you have
washed your face in water.
Mrs. Y, My hair is in many colors.
Please give me a good shampoo to
restore it to its natural tone.
Here is shampoo which is highly
recommended: White CASTLE soap
pulveriZed, half an ounce; water,
twenty-four ounces; borax, one table
spoonful; toilet water, one ounce; bay
rum, three ounces. Mix together and
use as a shampoo, then rinse the hair
thoroughly.
Anonymous: The hot milk treat
ment is good for emaciation. 1t also
restores the contour to the bust. You
can take a sponge bath in warm skim
milk and follow it with light mas
sage of warm oil. This will add to
your weight perceptibly.
Mrs. O.. To strengthen a flabby
bust YOU can take daily baths and
walks in the open air Be sure that
you wear your clothing loose and that
your corset is cut low enough to give
the bust chance to grow. Some of
the finest, most erect figures are cor
seted with a low corset that is little
more than a girdle.
To ]. Y: Soak the feet in hot wa
ter and massage with vaseline. Wear
clean undarned stockings and have
two pairs of shoes, which you can
alter from day to day.
Laura: To cure blackheads you
must keep up the treatment. You can
not take out blackheads and expect
them to stay away. You must steam
the face by applying hot cloths. Then
you must wash it in soap and water
After you have rinsed it a dozen
times you will find that there are few
blackheads left in the skin. But you
will have to do this two or three
times week, according to the nature
and texture of your skin. There are
skins that will gather blackheads in
a day.
