LETTERS AND ANSWERS.
| (Marion Martineau in Chicago Tribune)
! Thin Girl need something to de-
velop the bust. Is there a quick wav?
In reply to tins and many other
letters asking for a bust develoner
would say that the bust can be brought
/ to full development in six months
time. 1t requires fattenfng foods and
/ absence from worriment. Worrying
| women never have full busts An ap-
plcation of cocoa oil will assist. Wear
! a low-buSted corset TO give the bust
a chance to grow.
! Young Girl-My neck is yellow. Is
/ there such thing as a skin bleach?
Yes; lemon juice and rose water in
! equal parts will bleach the skin. I
have also heard that this is good: One
ounce each of lanolin and vaseline.
Half an ounce of paroxide OF hydro
| gen. Mix and rub on the skin I do
not vouch for this, but have it as
a French bleach.
Mr. KS there a harmless shampoo
for the hair? Also give me a tonic
The yolks of eggs make d harmless
shampoo. For tonic use a pint of
/ water, half a pint of witch hazel, and
half pint of bay rum. Have slightly
warm so as not to chill the scalp.
Miss C.-My hair is blonde, but it
is a light drab when I would like to
have it golden. Advise me.
! Beai dp the yolks of two eggs, rub
| through hair. then moisten with bowl
| of water, to which a teaspoonful of bo-
rax and tablespoonful of shampoo
| jelly has been added. Put a pinch of
borax in each rinsing water. When
hair is partially dry sit in the sun
shine.
Il. E.-Kindly~ give me a recipe for
cold cream, one that will do for gen
eral use.
For d general cold cream take one
ounce of spermaceti, one ounce of
white wax, five ounces of oil of sweet
almonds, two ounces of rose water, and
one teaspoonful of powdered borax.
Miss J.-My skin is rough Can you
give me recipe for making it
smoother?
Scrub with bath bag twice a week.
Bath bags are pleasant and are in
| expensive. Here is a good formula:
One pound of fine oatmeal, one quart
of clean fine bran, one-quarter pound
of powdered orris root, tEree-fourths
of pound of almond meal, one-quar-
ter pound of castle soap, dried and
! powdered. and two ounces OF violet
sachet. Mix and fill small cheesecloth
| bags as needed.
| Homely writes: How can I make
my eyes larger? Please answer me
| fully l have heard that it cannot be
done.
A reader of this column writes that
she made her eyes larger by reducing
| her weight
/ AS the fat disappears from below
| them they increase in depth and there
| come shadows where before there were
| Jumps of fat. The face which had
| had too much of fatty accumulation
! upon it went back TO its original con-
tour, the contour which nature in
! tended for it, and was pretty and
! shapely again. OF course the eyes viii
increase in size as the face gets thin
ner.
Thin Face-My eyes are hollow, or
| ''pop-eyed" Is there cure?
Thin women almost always have
goed-sized eyes. and it is only the fat
| and the chubby checked that have lit
| tie. twinkling eyes. And here is an
other argument in favor of reducing
/ the weight. Reduce the fat upon your
| face and your eyes will be larger
and your appearance viii lbe much i'm
proved. Your beauty will be height
ened 100 per cent. In your case you
must add fat.

bust and add fat?
