Milady's Toilet Table
by Mime. D'MILLE

Face powders now offer inadequate
protection. The hot sun burns and the
shine Of perspiration causes annoy
ance. Dissolve an original package of
mayatone in a half-pint of witch hazel
and rub little on the face each morn
ing. You will have a complexion pro-
tector and beautifier far superior to
anything else. Mayatone will not
come Off nor show like powder, and
keeps the skin soft. fair and girlish
looking.
Many suffer- from itching scalps in
warm weather. A dry shampoo re-
moves dust, dirt and excess oil; leaves
the scalp clean, cool and refreshed,
and the hair light. wavy and beauti-
fully lustrous. To make a perfect
shampoo powder, mix four ounces of
powdered orris root with an original
package of theroX. Just sift a tea
spoonful of this mixture on the head
and brush it out thoroughly
wild hairs are a dishguring blem-
ish to a beautiful face. They can be
easily, quickly and safely removed by
the use OF delatone paste. Mix pow
dered delatone with enough water to
cover the hair, apply and after a min
ute or two rub OFF, wash the skin and
the hairs will be gone.
IF the eyebrows are thin and strag-
gly pyroXin should be applied with
fnger-tops, and they should be brushed
gently each day to train them to grow
into an arch, Pyroxin will also make
the lashes grow long and silky"

QUEEN VICTORIA
ALWAYS DELUGED
BY BEGGING NOTES
Paolo Declare S Ruler Was
Annoyed by Various
Applicants.

Some hitherto unpublished reminis-
cences OF Xavier Paolo, the famous de-
tective and protector of royalty, are
published in recent number of Les
Annales, which, on account OF the Nice
fetes. is practically devoted to memoirs
OF Queen Victoria and King Edward
NJ. Paolo writes:
Queen Victoria was no exception to
this rule, and whereon she happened
to be she received every day, besides
her regular correspondence, numberIess
letters from writers as casual as they
were unexpected. In looking over these,
which her majesty's secretary often
communicated to me in the exercise of
my duties, | was able to note that the
most sincere and deserving OF attention
were far from being the most numerous
In general, those who wrote to the
Queen were devoid of all scruples-
humbugs, whimperers and profession
al beggars OF the sort known collec-
lively as 'tapeurs Requests for
stamps and autographs were frequent,
and came In every day. and some of
them were particularly impertinent,
such OF that OF a collector of Nantes,
who drew up a careful list of seventy
two pages of the new and used stamps
he required, and which he felt sure
her Majesty would kindly give him
Hundreds of people asked for dis
carded clothing, and also for contribu-
tions to charitable works and sub
scriptions for the most varied objects
from lotteries down to newspapers
Women surpassed men writer's in
pouncing upon every chance oppor-
tunity to press their requests For in
stance. II is an old tradition in the
English court that, early in April, the
sovereign should solemnly distribute in
Westminster Abbey the royal aims in
satin purses embroidered with the royal
monogram, each containing as many
pieces of silver (Maundy money! and
being given to as many poor old men
and women as the years of age of the
sovereign.
In 1898 this ceremony took place as
usual at Westminster while the Queen
was at Nice, and her majesty being
then seventy-nine years old, this num-
ber of men and women had received an
equal number Of silver pieces. The press
of the Riviera had described the event
at some length, and Immediately an
army of old men and women especially
women, OF the same age had thought II
a good opportunity to beg for tAe same
favor in France. I especially remember
one old lady of Cannes, who sent the
Queen her birth certificate, proving not
only that she was born in 1919. but also
on May "a, a date of which 1 am proud,
for on that day was born a great SOW
ereign who Is the joy OF her people"
