KEEPING FACE FRESH
Cosmetic Waters Indispensable
for the Toilet.
For the Worried Woman a Little. Mas.
~saQed Into the Scalp, Will Be
Found to Have q Maol-
cal Effect.

than spray Of cosmetic water aftsf
the tub bath at the close Of a tiresomn |
day. A little aromatic water dabbled
on the face and neck will freshen one
up wonderfully and often will pre-
vent the tired drawn look which Is
very detrimental to beauty.
The business woman and the pro-
fessional woman, whose daylight |
hours are spent in office or school or
studio, will find it an excellent plan
to keep bottle of toilet water handy
and two or three times during the
day rub little over the temples and
on the back of the neck and on the
hands. A little of the fragrant water
massaged into the scalp will some-
times have magical effect when the
head feels heavy and the wits duh.
Some of the best of the purchased
waters are violet, lavender, orange
and elder flower, but the mixtures for
home preparation possess charm
for the woman who likes to be indl-
vidual in her toilet accessories, and
the combination of the different in.
gradients brings out some very dainty
odors.
One of the very delightful toilet
waters and one which is really valu'
able for it's tonic effect, is made from
simple garden herbs. If these herbs
can be procured in the fresh state the
results will be more satisfactory, but
| if not. the dried ones will answer
| The formula calls for one ounce OF
| lavender flowers, three-quarters oI
an ounce each of the fresh tops o.
| thyme rosemary, rue, sage and mint;
one dram each of calamus, nutmegs,
! cloves and cinnamon, all Of which
should be bruised; one drain of cam"
phor, two ounces Of alcohol and one
quart of strong white wine vinegar.
Dissolve the casnphor in the alcohol,
add to the vinegar and put all the
herbs and spices into the liquid; let
it stand for ten days, when it should
be strained through filter paper.
An excellent violet water can be
made by simply emptying an ounce
bottle of the toilet extract into a
pint or the best alcohol and shaking
the mixture till it is we'll blended. The
same process, using any other scent
will answer the purpose, and lilac,
crabapple and heliotrope are I'LL de-
sirable.
Heliotrope water is made from one
half pint of orange-fower water, four
drains of coarsely powdered vanilla,
one-ha1f dram essence of ambergris,
six drops oil of bitter almonds and
the same amount of oil of cassia, and
one quart of spirits Of wine. Let
stand for ten days, then filter through
the porous paper especially used for
such purposes.
Common cologne water requires
| one and one-half fluid ounces Of oil
of lavender, one-half ounce oil Of
rosemary, one ounce oil Of lemon
twenty drops oil of cinnamon and one
gallon alcohol Mix we'll and bottle
for use.
These are all good formulas and
will prove satisfactory no matter
which one is chosen.
: Patsy.-You will find that many

that the pores of the scalp are filled
with foreign matter which effectually
