Mrs. T.: Kindly give me a few of
your recipes. l would like them for

You should have stated the recipes

Skin food Take a lump of white wax
as big as a walnut and melt it in half
an ounce of the oil of sweet almonds.
Add a lump of mutton tallow double
the size of a walnut. Stir as it cools.
This can be used nightly for the wrin-
kles in the forehead. Lip lotion: Take
glycerin and cut it with rose water.
Add half a teaspoon OF boraX to an
ounce of the lotion. Eyebrow grower:
Take a 5-cent bottle of red vaseline.

pure olive oil. Paint the eyebrows with
il every night.

a good toilet water to be used freely
upon the person. Unfortunately it is
too expensive for me. 1 cannot afford
as much as l would like. Is there any
way of making a good toilet water
cheap2
Here is a toilet water l can highly
recommend. In many ways it is as
good as an extract. You must not use
too much Of it, as it is strong. Take
pint of the spirits Of cologne and pour
it in quart bottle. Add one grain of
musk. Now, TO this add half an ounce
of the oil of geranium.- Cork well and
for use. You will have enough to fill
your toilet bottles for many weeks. 1t
should cost a dollar or less.
Miss T.: Tell me exactly how to make
a benzoin face bath. | have heard that
it is good for the pores, but l do not
know how to make it.
Take a basin of warm water, hold
ing, perhaps, two quarts. Into this stir

of the tincture of bezoin. Stir until the
water is milky. Use after steammg
