Boric Acid as Beauty Aid.

Dear Miss Leeds /. Does boric acid
make the eylashes grow? What IS the
best thing to use on them to promote
their growth without injuring the eyes?
.. Is boric acid a good astringent for
the skin and may 1t be used frequently
without harmp I have been using 1t
on my face every night for some time
and 1t seems to be doing my skin a lot
of good, but am afraid it will make
my skin dry. r. w.
Answer.-1 Boric acid solution is an
excellent wash for tired eyes, but 1t
does not promote the growth Of the
laslles. Apply white vaseline to the
roots OF the lashcs every night for six
months or year in order to encourage
your lashes. This will not harm the
eyes. 2. Boric acid solution is a mild
antiseptic lotion and should do your
skin no harm. Use one hcaping tea
spoonful of the boric acid In one pint
OF boiled or distilled water to make the
solution. 1t is always necessary to
watch closely the effects of the facial
treatments you use and judge them by
their results. If you should begin to
notice drying of the skin, omit the
boric acid washes and use cold cream
in place of water for cleansing your
skin. Perhaps you are thinking Of the
drying properties of boraX, which Is
different thing from boric acid and has
different uses. LOIS LEEDS.

Reducing the Thighs.
Dear Miss Leeds: l. How can I re-

fat? 2. I am q small. slender girl,
but have very large bust. How can
l reduce It? 3. My face becomes red
when 90 out of doors in cold weather.
How can stop this? M. r. S.

ducing flabby thighs Is stationary run
ming. Briskly bend and straighten your
knees, keeping your feet on the same

Ridged Fingcrnails.

Dear Miss Leeds: Please tell me what
makes the fingernails ridged and how
to make them smooth. WORRIED.
Answer-This condition is usually
observed in persons who are not IN per-
feet health or those who do rough work
with their hands, especially washing
with harsh soaps. When the cause Is
clearly not of local origin, it is probably
due to some fault in nutrition. I would
advise you to have thorough physical
examination by physician, which
may bring to light the cause of the
condition in your case. There is no
external treatment for making ridged
nails smooth. but If the nails are brittle
as we'll as ridgcd you may be able to

to reduce the bust. I judge that you

but that bust and thighs are in correct
proportion. Try and build yourself up
3. A certain amount of reddening of the
skin is natural when one is exposed to
sudden cold. If you have poor circu-
lation and are underweight this would
account for undue reddening, however.
