The Beautifying Egg.

An entire book might be written on
the various uses of eggs in beauty
culture. They are good for shampoo
ing, for curing dandruff, for bleaching
the skin, for eliminating wrinkles and
for various other purposes. Here are
Il few suggestions, especially practical
now that eggs are cheap.
Here is one shampoo: Beat up the
white of an egg, add to it two table
SpoonfulS of water, one draChm of
ammonia, three drachms of spirits of
wine. This should be rubbed we'll into
the hair half an hour before sham
pooing it with soap and water. Sew
eral preparations almost identical to
this are sold at high prices in the
shops. If the hair is not very dirty
or greasy this could be used without
any soap.
1 think, however, that it is simpler
to use a raw beaten egg on the scalp
about an hour before you intend to
shampoo. You simple beat up the
egg, yolk and white together, and rub
the mixture over the scalp with the
fingers and over as much of the hair
as it will cover. Let it dry on. If
possible, so out of doors so it will dry
more quickly, then shampoo as usual
with liquid soap and water, using the
soap twice instead of three times and
rinsing thoroughly.
Here's an egg skin bleach: Beat up
the white of one egg, add two table
spoonfuls of pure honey and when
they are thoroughly mixed add three
tablespoonfuIs of oil of almonds. Rub
over the face and let it stay on as
long as possible.
Here's formula found in all old
books. 1t is for whitening red hands.
Take the white of an egg. add one
grain of alum, beat until stiff but not
too stiff. The old books say it is to
be used last thing at night. Rubbed
well into the hands and allowed to
stay on till the morning. I'd suggest
cutting this down to one hour.
T. B.-The only thing to make the
Skin firm around your knees is to
build up the tissues. l should think
that fiabby skin hanging around the
knees meant that the muscles Of your
legs and thighs were also fiabby; in
fact. a general building up would be
needed under such conditions. There
should be no such thing as f1abby skin
and loosely hung muscles anywhere
on the body. You may only be in
need of d tonic. but it is best to ask
the doctor to suggest something for
you to take.

dressed envelope for the mailing, 1

Mock Crab.

Place the yolk of an egg in a bowl
and add one tablespoonful of olive oil,
one scant teaspoonful of salt, a few
grains of cayenne, one teaspoonful of
white sugar, one teaspoonful of dry
.nustard and one tablespoonful of
vinegar. Mix the ingredients to d
smooth paste. Add one-half a pound
of cheddar cheese that has ben broken
small by mashing with fork. Mix
we'll and serve in a clean crab shell. or
in small white dishes. with crackers
or bread and butter and a salad of
lettuce. This dish is improved by the
addition of a little finely minced cold
poultry. An inexpensive and simple
variation of the above may be made
by breaking one-half a pound of soft,
strong cheese into small pieces by
mashing it with a fork, then season
ing with pepper and pouring little
vinegar over 1t.

String Beans Sauted.

Wash, string and cut the beans in
thin strips, put them in plenty of
boiling salted water and boil until ten
der, or about 40 minutes. Drain and
dry in the oven. Stir up the beans to
permit the escape of steam AS soon
as they are dry put them in a sauce
pan with two heaping tablespoonfuls
of butter to a pound of beans, a little
finely chopped parsley and pepper and
salt to taste. Toss them continually,
so that all will be equally coated with
butter. Squeeze in a little lemon juice

Peach Cheese Salad.

Take one can of large peaches or
real small ones. If large ones are
used, serve half for each person.
Place some lettuce leaves on a plate
then half a peach, sprinkled over with
a little cinnamon, fill with chopped
nut meats, and cover with mayonnaise
dressing. Run the cheese through a
pastry tube over the salad. The cheese
may be colored any desired color,
using wet vegetable coloring, pink
being especially good if pink flowers
are used for table decorations. Serve
with plain bread and butter sand

The Well Groomed Woman.

The other day l was talking to an
old man, so old that he had served in
the Civil War and had memories of
the ladies of that time and even be-
fore. who made the social life of New
York and Washington and the South.
Unlike most elderly men when they
are reminiscent, this one prefers the
modern woman. The average woman,
he told me, is much better looking
than she was so years or more ago.
If one can judge by portraits and
photographs and illustrated maga-
zines, that is true. Some of it, think
is because the average woman has
more time to spend on herself, and
some of 1t because beauty prepara-
tions are 50 much better today than
