Ten Commands of Beauty



 pune soap. There are soaps made from srermaeet. which is the oil taken iiam lae head Of the whal-. 1T is ihc only soap use, l' is very expensive. but one may not eeono- mize as to tHe complexion. This is my recipe for the care Of the com P.ezian every day.
 On r.s5ue. massage tac face eight or ten minutes. Massage ir with tre two middle. that is. tHe second and third fingers. and with a round not Ieuethwtse. motion. The round motion removes HHe= The length wise motion makes them Remove vna, is left of the cold cream with linen towel 'or an old handkcr ralel Then apply a ude more cold cream. then powder
 In the evening | take ten to twenty minutes for cleansing my face. First. wash il in tepid water Never cold water. except in emereeucies of great fatsue Then massage for eight or ten minutes. Remove the cream. Then more cream-yery uie mofe-and go to sleep. I never use sreaae on the hair. After the shampoo. once a week, use camomiIe lotion. rubbing if in carefully with the points of the fin gers. and on no account allowing il to touch the face, because it will make the face yellow.
 This eamomile lotion. which cleans es the hair and tones the scalp. promoting the circulation is made thus.
 Two large handsful of camomile.
 Two quarts of water.
 Boil for fifteen minutes. or until if is as dark as black coffee Then shake. and add tvo quarts of cold water.
 Put in a stone jar and keep in a cold place. Shake well before usin4
 Hair to be really beautiful should not lie in heavy sticky bands, bu. should stand out hair by hair. as epafate as the down of a little chicken. To acquire this, use ten drops of ammonia sprinkled in the cauomilc It must be added after the mixture has boiled and cooled otherwise the ammonia will eyapo- Iate
 This is the fayorite prescription now used in France No beauty nor fashionable woman ever uses oil upoa her hair. By keeping it ire quentIy massaged and thoroughly brushed she permits il to develop it's own oil.
 The Egyptian women have the most beautiful hair in the world This they owe to henna,
 Sprinkle enough henna in the water to make it the color of coffee Part the hair in little strands and with a small handbrash dipped into it. rub the scalp.
 The hands should be kept smooth and white. To keep them so I wash them a la Cavalieri. First in soapy water, through many waters until they are spotless as my linen, Then I dry them, but only partly, by the heat of the hands themselves, not with towel Then l bathe them again in this mixture:
 One ounce slycerine.
 Three ounces rosewater.
 Ten drops lemon juice This should be shaken well before being mixed, and also every time it is used.
 Sometimes, when I wish to cleanse and whiten my face, I use this mix ture:
 One wineelass rosewater.
 Fifteen drops peroxide.
 But I leave it on the face not more than fifteen minutes. Then l re move it by a face bath of rosewater or of cold cream to remove the sting.
 For sunbun or windburn I use this preventative;
 Anoint the face with cold cream.
 Dust it with rice powder
 Then go forth in your motor car or for your walk unafraid for you are protected from the sun and wind
 But if you have got sunburn or windburn then use;
 One part glycerine.
 Three parts rosewater.
 Apply to the skin a dozen times a day, varying it with pure cold cream or with rosewater alone.
