MILADY BEAUTIFUL
BY LOIS LEEDS.

The hairs are allowed to remain, but
they are moistened each day with a
mixture Of three tablespoonfuls Of
hydrogen peroxide and six drops Of
ammonia. This is for facial hair and
should be patted On with q piece Of
clean absorbent cotton and allowed to
dry. If the skin is unusually sensitive
another tablespoonful of peroxide may
be added to weaken the bleach. Keep
a small bottle of this mixture handy in
the bath room, so you will not forget
to use it each night after washing. Use
it on the dark hairs about the lips and
chin.
For hairs on arms and legs pour six
tablespoonfuls of peroxide into small
bowl then beat in half a tablespoonful
Of ammonia. Apply with absorbent
cotton. If the hairs are very thick and
coarse an even stronger mixture may be
made by using two parts OF peroxide
to one part of ammonia. In time the
hairs will tend to become weak and
brittle. When cream, paste, liquid or
wax depilatories are used to remove
body hairs there Is always q regrowth;
the same is true of shaving or tweezlng.
Any temporary method Of removal and
also bleaching must be repeated at
regular intervals.
Electro.ysis has long been the stand
ard method for removing hairs perma-
nently. Now and then, however. one OF
my readers will complain that the
hairs grew in again after the electric
needle was used, thus neceGsitatinS q
long series of treatments to clear the
area completely. This does not often
occur When it does, the cause may be
lack of skill in the operator who failed
to insert the needles into the hair
follicles or the stimulation OF adjacent
hairs by the electric current. There
are numerous hair roots in the skin.
but most of them produce only light,
downy growth that is scarcely notice
able. In some cases these little hairs
may be stimulated to greater growth.
In general, however, electrolysis Is
very satisfactory way of getting rid OF
small growths of unwantcd hair. For
large areas it is not usually practicable
