T0DAY's BEAUTY AIDS

To clear up and whiten the skin
and secure that charm Of pink and
white youthful freshness so much
desired by all women you will find it
far safer to rely upon a good face
lotion rather than powder. To get
rid Of that shiny and muddy appear
ance in your complexion, dissolve
four ounces Of spurmax in one-half
pint hot water, and add two tea
spoonfuls glycerin. Apply this to
your face, neck and arms, rubbing
gently until dry. This lotion does not
show or rub off like powder and is
ranch better. It Is splendid for re-
moving tan, frecklcs, pimples and
sallowness.
You car make n delightful sham
poo for a very trihing cost if you get
from your druggist a package of
canthrox and dissolve a teaspoonful
In a cup of hot water. Pour a little
at a time on the scalp and rub
briskly. This creates an abundance
of thick, white lathcr that thor
oughly dissolves and removes all
dandruff, excess oil and dirt. After
rinsing, the hair dries quickly, with
a futfness that makes it seem heav-
Ter than it is, and takes on a rich
luster and a softness that makes
arranging 1t a pleasure.--Adv.

Possibly II is because OF the fact
that continental travellers TO whom
the custom has become an established
one across the water must perforce
at home, and an effort is being
made TO provide them with the facili-
ties 50 that they may fancy them
selves back again in their beloved
Paris or London or some other ia
vorite continental resort.
One hears much OF the "continenta
breakfast" these days, which OF course
means coffee and rolls, and while there
are many who adhere TO this custom at
home. others prefer something a little
more substantial 10 fort!fy themselves
against the demands OF the day. But
in either case the pretty new break

which the old fashioned tapanned
trays with their Heterogeneous collec-
ton OF pottery, thought good enough
for such occasions, absolutely failed
to supply.

are frankly and compellingly charm
ing. They invite the appetite by their
quaint shapes and lovely decorations
besides making an appeal 10 personal
convenience. so hat one inevitably de-
sires to be an invalid or else suddenly
