Cold Cream. for Thin Skin.


Mrs. D. c. X.-I think you will find
the following more satisfactory than CO.
Goa butter, although the latter may be
used with good effect on some skins. See
answer to c. L. w. also.
A cold cream which is delightful, but
very hard to obtain unless you live in
city where there are extensive lab
oratorieS, consequently it is much used
by fastidiOus women, is eight parts of
the mutton talIOw used to extract the
odor from flowers one part of the best
German lanolin, and one part peroxide
of hydrogen. The talIow and the lano-
lin are melted in a water bath and the
per-xde added, drop by drop, as the
cream is beaten until it is cold Per
fume with ten drops of oil of lily of
the valley or any favorite perfume.
l use this cream in the theater al
most constantly, and find it very good
While nOngreasy creams are often
more popular. it is well to remember
that it is the oils in creams which make

Skin Food.
c. L. WI am very glad to give you
a skin food which l think is superior to
any that you can buy. 1t is not a Sc
cret formula: many beauty specialists
and writers use it, because it has been
found the best food for the skin.
You must be very sure that the in
gradients are fresh and of the best and
purest quality, and that your druggist
weighs them carefully.
Melt together in a water bath one
hn1
ounce of spermaceti, one ounce of lano-
Tin, two ounces of sweet almond oil.
and one ounce Of coaconut OIL Take of
the fire and beat until cold, adding lit
tie by little, two ounces of orange-fower
water, to which five drops Of tincture of
oenzoin has been added. Be sure TO
beat ingredients constantly until quite
cold; beating is the secret Of fine cream.
This is the skin food most frequently
lsed by French and Russian women, and
| have used it myself twenty-five years.
Hand Whitcner.
A splendid formula to use on the hands
after washing is:
Fifteen grains of powdered borax, ff-
teen grains of common table salt. one
half dram Of spirits of ammonia, one
iram oil OF orange, two ounces of gly-
serine, and six ounces of alcohol.
Glove Paste.
A. T. S.-Into four ounces of rose
Fater stir a teaspoon of powdered borax
md flve drops of tincture of benzoin. add
enough finely powdered oatmeal and al

Pine cones all the way from Georgia

he hears the postman's whistle.
The letters she receives are from her
friends and kin and are all written by
women. True to her promise. she lays
them out before him every evening, and
for two hours he is reading straight
across and then criss-croSs, jumping from
the first page to the third, and doing a
puzzle finding out what page TO jump to
next. He is reading that Aunt Susan has
papered her p4rlor in green, and mother
would like the inclosed sample of linen
matched, if possible. and if not a lighter
shade will do, and Cousin Kate wants
the inclOSed sample of hair matched, and
are they wearing puffs and do they sell

HOW TO SAFELY
PEEL YOUR FACE
HIom Beauty Culture.

From Beauty Culture.
II you have a muddy, sallov, or
blotchy complexion, the most sensible
thing to do. is to remove IT, rather than
to patch 1t over or doctor 1t with any
cosmetic, rouge, or lotion. The only way
10 really remove the complexion, aside
from resorting to an expensive and pain
ful surgical operation, is by means Of
ordinary mercolized wax. Spread the
wax over the face as you would cold
cream, washing 1t on In the morning.
This gradually absorbs the lifeless and

the fresh. young skin beneath beams
forth. Then you have a clear, smooth,
velyety, healthy-hued complexion. such
as no unnatural method can possibly

PRIZE WINNERS IN THE
PUZZLE OF HALLOWEEN

The first of these came from Miss J. G.
Shearer, 937 New York avenue north
west, Washington, which entities her
to the first prize of $3.
The second prize of 81 was won by
Mrs. L. p. McIntire, 12S street north
east. Mrs. McIntIre also succeeded in
solving the strange little puzzle in its
entirety.
None of the children could find the
magic key to the Halloween enigma.
Three members of the Juvenile de-
partment came within seven numbers
of having a correct list.
The first of these was Miss Helen
Gould, aged fourteen, who lives at 400

zIe circle to the chiIdren's prize of 81.

In spite of its many difficulties, readers

Tuesday.

the Puzzle Circle to entertain guests, I
am told, If not on All Halloween, at
least during the week In which this night
Of charm and magic occurs.
Many used it last week for parties Of
various kinds, sending me the solutions
their guests obtained, many Of which
were clever Y they were not correct.
I sincerely congratulate the prize
winners, for frankly confess that did
not expect an entirely correct list either
from the children or the grown-ups, so
was doubly delighted with the success
Of Miss Shearer and Mrs. McIntire.
