SOME DAINTY COSMETICS

Quite frequetly receive letters ask
ing for recipes for various simple cos
metics in daily use. I would like to-
day to give a few of these which can
be easily made at home and which will
not cost very much.
The first is frequently called Lac
Virgin, but most frequently goes I'M
der the name of Milk of Roses. This
ornate title is rather deceptive, since
the mixture is made only of two in
gradients, as follows:
Tincture Of benzoin. Il ounce
Rose water. 10 ounces
This makes a beautiful milky solu-
suggested it's romantic name. A
tablespoonful of this added to an or
binary basin of water every time you
wash will really do wonders in keep
ing the skin soft and white. Or if
you wish, you may rub little into the
face and hands after you have washed
and let it dry in. AS 1t is astringent
it will reduce large pores.
A cleansing cream which is most eff
fective is made as follows:
White wax .......... 1 ounce
Spermaceu .......... ounce
White mineral oil. -. ounces
Rose water .......... IA ounces
Powdered boraX 80 grains
Oil of bitter almonds. 10 drops
The wax, spermaceti and both oils
are heated until they blend; the rose
water containing the borax Is also
warmed, and the two are mixed. They
are beaten until they begin to cool,
then poured off into jars
ANXIOUS PEG. - The rose water
and glycerine you mention is not a
bleach; it merely keeps the hands soft
and the skin dainty. If you desire a
bleach for the hands, at this season
the cucumber makes the best of
bleaches. Lemon juice is also a handy
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1920-10-23

thing to use Tor preaching the nanQS
Either Of these may be used on the
hands; then follow the treatment by
rubbing into the skin the rose water
and glycerine. Another way to keep
the hands looking well, is to have
some dry salt handy and after the
kitchen work is completed, wash the
hands thoroughly, dry them partially
with a towel, but complete the drying
process by rubbing the salt over the
hands, both inside and out.
Almost any wart can be removed by
tying a horse hair around the base of
it. This will strangle the circulation
in the wart and it will dry up and
drop of in few days. If you cannot
get the hair, piece of white silk,
dipped first in boiling water to steril-
iZe it, will do the same work as the
hair, except it will take a few more
days to complete it. Large warts, with
hair growing from them, require spe-
cial treatment; they should be remov-
ed with the electric needle.
You can purchase cocoa butter at
any drug store.
x. Y. 1.-The only way to keep the
hair removed from under the arms is
to shave 1t off regularly with a safety
razor.
From Paris comes a pretty novelty
of wearing a short bang with bobbed
hair. 1t will be used also with other
styles of hair dressing. If you care
to try it, 1t will give a distinction to
your way of doing the hair. Keep the
hair we'll f1uffed out all around the
head.

The Diary of an Engaged Girl
BY Phyllis Phillips

Monday, Sept. 25-Rome. 1 have
lived through the beginning of the
long wished for adventure and l have
lived it to the finger tips. Things
are happening rapidly, even as l write.
Mother has just refused to let me meet
an impassioned lover of mine-sent
him away from the hotel, If you please
Gin a refined way, of course, and he
has struggled up a note to me by one
of the bellboys. Isn't that true love
for you?
And it all happened SO innocently,
to my way Of thinking. Last night,
after frantic efforts to secure sleeping
accommodations on the express to
Rome, we had to travel with no hopes
of any sleepers, and frightfully
crowded train never saw so many
noisy, happy travellers in my life.
Everyone seemed suddenly to have
decided to go to Rome the same night
that we did.
Our train pulled out at eight o'clock
and there seemed to be hundreds Of
wild-eyed, handsome Italians on every
side of me. Mother kept firm clutch
of my wandering young arm for the
first half hour-I suppose to adver-
tise the fact to any OVERLOAD men that
l was properly guarded young per-
son, which, by the way, disturbs the
average Italian man not in the least.
And after we were finally settled and
steaming out of the station she saw to
it that l was right opposite her in the
compartment, and fixture there to
all intents and purposes. How little
she knows her Lindsey after all! How
quickly she has forgotten the lure of
the unknown to the romantic heart
of girl! Not to mention the language
of lovers!
/ had felt two dark eyes upon me
when first we got into the train, and
fortunately for little me and Romance,
the eyes were not right in our COM
partment, but beyond.
l followed them up and down, and
discovered that they belonged to a
really, truly Adonis. A tall, dark
young fellow with red lips and a fig
ure that reminded me of panther.

CHRISTMAS ACTS AS TONIC
Happy and ExhiIaratine Mental Spirit
Has Good Effect on People, De-
clare Medical Observers.

Close observers In the ranks OF the
medical profession have noted one very
interesting fact concerning the Christ
mas seaSon-that II generally has a
good tonic effect upon their patients.
In explanation Of this the London
Lancet says that since Christmas has
come to be regarded as a time for
good cheer, a universal feeling of con-
tentment and happiness is engendered
at this time Of jo%yousness, routine is
for q while relieved, a certain fresh
ness is given to the daily round, diff
~ferences of opinion are sunk. and a
charitable spirit prevails. Is it. by
the way. hoping for too much that the
season Of good fellowship should leave
some lasting effect upon the manner
and methods of all2
1t may mot be easy to trace exactly
why this sense of exhilaratioD and
w~ell-being comes with the advent of
Christmas. for the psychological fac
tors concerned are moi simple. But
the main point is that the mental state
does everybody good. and the annual
festiyity is just as excellent an insti-
tuition as the prescription Of the physi-
clan which gives tone and vigor to the
struggle In life's race. There is no
need nowadays. thanks to the good
sense Of the people and the cOunsels
Of their medical advisers. to moralize
about the evils Of a stupid Indulgence
In food. alcohol and tobacco On a fes-
tive occasion such as the present.
Practically everybody realizes the
great physiological advantages of be-
ing wise on a merry occasion and the
disadvantages of being a fool.
Many more persons than formerly
feel where use ends and abuse begins.
and they act sensibly accordingly; and
SO far from II being a crime to make
the season festive by enjoying. on a
little extended scale perhaps. the
creature comforts of life, some decided
good Is done to both the mental and
physical health Of the individual.
The festive season may. therefore
be welcomed which brings cheer to
thousands. which induces the generous
and charitable Il brace the mental and
physical functions Of the community
at large, giving 1t the opportunity OF
relinquishing its business and its wor.
ries for a time, to start again re,
fresbed and ready for "the trivial
round. the common task" The pre-
scripti0n "A Merry Christmas Is
sound so long as the signature" OF
good sense is observed.
