A IL things connected with the
~ bride and her wedding are dain-
~, so It is quite natural that che
should stock her toilet table afresh.
First of all, she wants a delicate
sachet powder for scenting her
trunks, bags, boxes, and bureau draw
ers Perhaps the most lasting and
yet dainty scent is secured by mixing
powdered orris root and any good
violet sachet powder in equal quanti-
ties. This lie really more elusive than
any floral scent that you could se-
lect
Every bride will want a nice Law
ender powder for her linen If she
knew she we're going 10 trap the
young man last summer she would
have been wise to have dried all the
lavender leaves she could beg, bor-
row, or steal, but II Is too late for
that now, and this powder is even
more lasting than the dried flowers.
Mix ten ounces of dried lavender
leaves, three ounces OF powdered
benzoin and six ounces OF cyprus
powder Add TO this one and one
half drains Of oil OF lavender
She will also want a preparation
for perspiration, and while some OF
the already prepared articles are
good, the best thing for excessive
perspiration under the arms is COM
mon baking soda mixed In equal pro-
portion with plain unscented talcum
powder. Never bathe under the arms
with scents Of any kind. better wash
with a good bath soap and then rub
on alcohol TO which a little powdered
alum has been added, finally busting
with the baking powder and talcum
mixture.
The lemon should have a conspicu-
ous place on the toilet table for some
time before the wedding. The bride
is ant to be sewing industriously and
this is not particularly good for the
fingers. She should keep cut lemon
on her dressing table. Every night
after she has washed her hands she
should stick her fingers right into the
pulp OF the lemon and rub them
around and around. This will help TO
remove stains, stop the growth OF the
cuticle at the base OF the nail, and
make the knuckles look white and
/ soft instead of red and rough. In
case the skin has heen roughened az
the end OF the finger by pricking with
/ the needle, rub il with piece OF pum-
/ ice stone before the wounds nave time
10 absorb dust and dirt
The hair is an important part OF
the brides makeup. II it is stubborn
and sticks out at angles, rub Few
drons Of brilliantine in the palm Of
ne hand then rub the hair brush
around in that. and brush lightly over
the hair. This will make the rougn
ends stay in place.
The bride should wash her hair
three days before the wedding. IN or
der to give II a chance 10 get back 70
normal conditions. The castlie soap
iellv is one of the best shampoos TOT
the dark haired girl, while mixture OF
green soap and listerine Is the right
thing for the blonde. Inc lelly Is
made by shaving a cake of best whlte
CASTLE soap into pint OF boiling wa
ter. First wet the hair Win warm
water. then take about two table
spoonfuls of the jelly, adding salt
spoonful of borax II the water IN
which the hair Is to be washed Is
hard. then rub until thick latner
forms Now rinse several times,
making each bowl OF water cooler un-
til it is quite cold.
Two tablespoonfuls of listerine, two
tahlespoonfuls of tincture of green
soap. and the white of one egg make
an excellent shampoo for the girl
with blonde locks. Wet the hair with
warm water, then rub the mixture
thoroughly over the hair. being sure
10 massage it we'll into the scalp.
Rinse thoroughly, then dry in the sun
light and open air If the weather is
not too cold
If it is necessary to curl the hair
about the face, there is nothing equal
to the old fashioned kid curriers'. The
night before the wedding the bride
should dampen her hair with little
of q good curling fluid and put It up
