cornmeal croquettes need not be egg

Superhuous Hair.

that is only possible to women liv-

trio needle treatment, which is costly
and tedious. know OF no other
treatment which I am convinced is
permanent, though I know of many
for which that claim is made.
If you think the superfious hairs
on your face are really a disfgure1
ment, and If you can go to a really
good electric needle specialist, by all
means do so. The most up-to-date
method is the multiple needle process
which claims to remove about fifty
hairs an hour. Of which only about
10 per cent come back to REQUIRE
second treatment. The single
needle process 10 really almost too
slow to bother with. If you cannot

cialist I would advise you to take
half an hour every few weeks, SIT

can do for yourself.
some Of the new cures" consist of
q variety of medicated wax which is
mastered over the skin while soft
and which hardens slightly, holding
the large hairs, and even the light
inyisibles. down with a viselike grip.
The sufferer. whom I think rightly
named, pulls off the wax and the
hairs are pulled out with it. Some
of these preparations are mercifully
mixed with something to deaden the
sensation.
