How to remove Wrinkles.-Here is an
old recipe, easily prepared, and said to
remove wrinkles: Take equal parts OF
bean and barley meal and mix with
raw egg. When the mass is thoroughly
hard and dry, it should be ground to
a fine powder and made into an ONT
ment with melted tallow and honey.
A thick layer of this applied to the face
every night was warranted to smooth
out all wrinkles
throat well at night in warm water
to which a little borax has been added,
and, when thoroughly dry, rub in as
much white valeline as the skin will
take up. Rub up and down and round
the throat. If this remedy does not
prove successful after a few weeks
time, try the following: Take three
ounces of sifted barley meal and one
ounce of honey and mix them with the
white Of one egg. Spread the mixture
thickly on piece of white linen and
tie round the throat every night for
three of four weeks. In the morning
soap. Always have white Innings in the
colors of white dresses. Be sure and
persevere in this if you hope for i'm
provement.
The daily bath.-Perhaps the best
thing to use in the daily bath is tine
ture OF benzoine, two or three drops of
bowl full of water, this keeps the skin
firm and in good condition. Ootmeal
and violet water is also very good. In
the spring, handfuls of cowslips and
prinroses or fresh violets can be thrown
into the water and are deliciously fresh
and good for the skin. Strawberries
and raspberries crushed and thrown
into the bath water are also to be ad-
vised when the skin is rather relaxed.
Lime blossoms are also delightful.
These things do not take the place of
soap, it must be understood, and some
pure variety should always be used in
the bath and carefully rinsed off with
cold water. A loofah or vegetable
sponge is an excellent thing to keep the
skin in good condition.
Tonic for oily hair-Almost all rem
edies for the scalp seem to be put to-
gether with the understanding that the
hair is too dry and thre they contain
oils Of various kinds. Now there are
people, and not a few who are affected
with the opposite trouble, undue oili-
ness Of the hair, For their benefit I
give the following remedy which will
keep the scalp cool and the hair dry
and free from oil. Spirit of ether, u
o.; tincture benzoin 2 drachms; vani-
line, l minim; heliotropine, minims;
geranium oil 1 drop. Keep we'll corked
and do not expose to fame as it is
highly inf1ammable.
|, To prevent dampness of the hands,
Many girls spoil their gloves through
their hands prespiring too freely
Weakness is, as rule, the cause of the
trouble, and a suitable tonic is advis-
able. AS regards local remedies, soak
alum and water, allowing about a
dessertspoonful of powdered alum ia
a pint Of tepid water. Use carbolie
soap for washing abe hands, and after
drying them, dust the palms with q
powder composed of the equal parts OF
| oxide of zinc, very finely powdered
starch, and powdered boracic acid
Shake a little of the same powder into
the gloves before putting them on.
Here are some suggestions for women
who would avoid wrinkles:
Don't speak with all the muscles OF
the face in play. 1t is very charming
