TODAY'S BEAUTY
SUGGESTIONS

Face powder simply covers up
an unattraetive complexion and
leaves no lasting benefits. Those
who have tried a simple spurmax
face lotion find it much better, as
1t removes skin discolorations,
such as freckles and tan, and
makes the skin smooth, white and
yelvety. This lotion is made by
dissolving four ounces of spurmax
in one-half pint hot water, then
adding two teaspoonfuls glycerin.
This complexion beautifier does
not rub off or show like powder,
and gives more refined appear
ance. 1t removes both shininess
and salowness, rapidly giving
the skin permanent healthy,
youthful appearance.
An especially fine shampoo for
this weather can be had at trifling
expense by dissolving teaspoon
full of canthrox in cup of hot
water. Pour slowly on scalp and
massage briskly. This creates
soothing, cooling lather that dis
solves and removes all dandruff,
excess oil and dirt. Rinsing leaves
the scalp spotlessly clean, soft and
plant, while the hair takes on q
glossy richness of natural color

material a dainty figured weave
may be used for the ruffles and

broidery make pretty ruffles. To
make this alteration, cut the skirt
into equal sections-seven would
be best-as high as the tip Of the

Add a piece of the silk or satin

used il the dress is not white.

BY BETTY BROWN

Every woman and girl has a
last summers dress too good to
throw away and too narrow in
the skirt to wear.
What is she going to do
with it? Widen the skirt, of
course, but how?
The accompanying illustrations
give few ideas which any wom-
an, handy with the needle, can
carry out with a little time and a
small expenditure of money.
Fig. | is especially suited to
remodeling linen or heavy ma
terial dress.
Put the skirt on and mark with
a pin, the middle of the hip just
at the tip. Lay skirt on the floor
and cut in straight line from
hem to point marked. Cut on
either side toward the hack and
front about three inches. Fold
back the goods leaving enough
for fold and seam. Have material
plated as deep as desired, sew
edges to skirt, fasten at top and
cover with strap finished with
buttons.
A yard of material may be
made do for both panels by put
ting in rows OF insertion.

WHEN YOU WASH YOUR

else all to pieces. You can get
this at any drug store, and a
few ounces will last the whole
family for months.
Simply moisten the hair
with water and rub, 1t in,
about a teaspoonful is all that
is required. 1t makes an
abundance of rich, creamy
lather, cleanses thoroughly,
and rinses out easily. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and

fluffy, wavy and easy to
handle. Besides, 1t loosens
and takes out every particle OF
dust, dirt and dandruff.A
