Recipes. Required Hot Shoyels,
 Wine And Murh

Nowadays when milady wishes to ap- ply cleansing cream, astringent, hair tonic, or other beauty lotion, she merely opens a dainty little bottle or jar where the preparation is all ready for use.
 No so with the Women of even few centuries ago. When she wished a beauty treatment she had to assemble half dozen ingredients, mix them care fully according to formula, perhaps even cook them and cool them. Consider the difference, too, in the methods of ap- plying them. Compare the relative com fort between sitting in an easy chair in your boudoir batting on an astiringent and going through the inquisitional process described in this ancient astrin- gent recipe, supposed to tone up the skin and remove crowsfeet;
 ''Hheat shovel red hot, ,and on it throw a pinch of powdered Myrrh, meantime throwing a thick towel over the head and bending over the shovel to get the fumes directly upon the face. Repeat this three times, then heat the shovel . fourth time and spray on little white wine. Let the fumes penetrate, and repeat the procedure three times"
 It is obvious that this recipe was in vogue in the days when white wine was more available than it is today!,
 A popular hair-oiptment of 400 A. D. was made by the following recipe Mix submarine, vitriol, and nitrate of potassium; grind together with dried roots of swallaw-wort, oil of peoples, bile of an OK, very little sepia, Arabic gum, alum, sulphur, and ginger. Rub the hair with this preparation and leave till morning"
 Another 'hair-raising'' recipe of olden times reads: "Take dried cauls from the the Orient, grind them to powder, and mix. them in equal portions with the yolks of eggs that have been boiled |; then mix with wild. honey. Rub on the hair in the evening, wrap the head in kerchief, and wash in the morning with olive oil soap and fresh water"
 No wonder women had no careers and took no part in the. worlds work in those days when good grooming de- manded so much time and work!
 An etiquette book of less than a cen tury ago, admonishes women that the "only safe way to color the face is to dip bit of red silk in some wine and rub on the cheeks where the color is desired" In the twentieth century, with rouges which meet the most stringent requirements as to purity, we should scarcely consider this method desirable or even safe, and one can imagine that the ladies of this period who had to depend on red silk for their coloring must have been bizarre color effects! They would certainly be as- tonished if they could see their great great granddaughters of today blithely ordering the rouges and powders by the box, and for each toilette, choosing from their wide selection, Blancre, Naturelle, Mandarine, Ashes of Roses or whatever rouge is best suited to the particular costume and occasion.
