Mrs. T.: Do you advise the use of
| perfumed baths? And are they not
/ expensive?
You can get UP a perfumed bath for
a Few cents. Would you be willing to
pay, say, s cents a day for a highly
faFored. delicate bath? You can pour
white wine vinegar upon trawoerries
and a few cloves, let stand a week,
strain and bottle. This gives a nice
/ ana cheap aromatic vinegar.
Society Girl: You have mentioned
perfumed baths. / would like to know
/ what perfumes to use. l do not ask
for cheap bath, for I am willing to
srend some money to obtain this lux
: ury.
Then take pint of spirits of ammo
mia and add two grains of musk To
/ this add half an ounce of the oil }of

Mrs. L.: You have frequently spok-
en- of reducing the weight by eXer-
else. 1 have tried it, but it did not do
me any good. What can l do? Please
help poor mortal,
Exercise will surely reduce you If
you really want to get thin drink Moth
ing at all with your meals. This Is
hard, but imperative. Walk before
breakfast and after. Take a walk after
dinner Don't sit and lounge. Keep
moving. That is the secret of losing
flesh. Don't take medicine to reduce
your weight unless you know it tor be
good.
H. G. D.: took your advice and lost
ten pounds. Now, however, am gam
ing again. What can 1 do to lose again!
Take every morning Before breakfast
a teaspoon of phosphate of soda IN
glass of hot water. This may lessen
your appetite for breakfast, but 1T VIII
improve your general condition.
e: Tell me how to reduce my
weight.
From reading your letter it seems to
be your hips that are too stout. You
and another reader are asking me
about the same question, How can L
reduce my hips? The hip exercises are
good, but walking is better. Take no
ice cream soda, drink nothing with
your meals, and take exercise. mat
is the best way.
Miss Y: Do you advise the Yau-
caire remedy?
1 have known it to be successfully
tried. The formula has been frequent
ly given in this column. IL you have
lost it or have missed it, write and 1t
will be repeated for you.
K. H.: l would like a whitener for
the hands and the neck. My hands
tan so brown in the summer.
Lemon Juice will whiten the hands IL
used persistently. If you want nice
whitener take. lanolin and peroxide and
use them upon the neck and arms. You
can whiten the hands with pyrozone,
which is also good for the face used
in diluted quantities.
ouestfof1er.g Yeurs letter was re-
ceived. The hands get out of condi-
ton sometimes, and the only way to
cure them is to take constant care OF
them. Sleep in gloves lined with glove
paste. Before going out cover your
your hands with this lotion. Rub 1t in
well. An ounce of almond oil, one tea
spoon lard oil, one teaspoon mutton
tallow, a lump Of spermacetti the size
of a walnut. Melt together and rub
on the hands twice a day.
Writer: You ask me not TO print
your name. How will you know this
letter is for you when there are so
many letters? You can reduce your
lips by walking. Get up at o'clock
and walk Walk as many miles day
as you can. 1t would be good thing
if you could adopt the plan of fine New
York society women who take long
cross country walks. They start early
in the morning and walk until 10
o'clock, when they rest have lunch
con, and start back again. This re-
duces the weight rapidly.
H. G.: Is white of egg good for the
complexion? 1 have a skin that is all
sealy. 1 have been told that white or
egg will cure it.
i do not think white of egg will help
Your skin / do not see whv it should.
Suppose you try rubbing it every night
with the skin food that has been FREE
ouently given here. If you have lost
the directions for it send self
addressed envelope and it will be sent
to you.
