WOMAN’S PAGE. BEAUTY CHATS Superfluous Hair. ‘There are various tiny little defects no woman need suffer from. One of them is superfluous hair. There are so many cures and such easy ones. Hair on the arms, if really very dark and thick and ugly, can be pulled out by using a sort of w Most beauty shops offer the treatment, but you can also do it yourself. The hairs come back, but for a time the arms a-. free of it. Or you can use peroxide of hy- drogen all over the arms where the dark fuzz grows, using a bit of cotton to apply it, and then wash it off with warm water when it begins to sting. Not that it stings enough to hurt. If it doesn't sting at all, then leave it on five minutes. This bleaches the hairs and discourages them from growing, even killing the weak ones. Do this once or twice a week. ‘This same treatment is good for hairs | above the mouth. tweezers, too, for large, dark, strong hairs are apt to grow there. These must be pulled out. I'd advise using peroxide all over the skin first, around the parts | Then touch each| you are treating. spot with peroxide again when you have pulled out a hair. antiseptic, prevents germs getting into the open hair follicles, and, incident- ally, this bleaches the young hair that will grow in again so it won't show so soon. Often it kills off weak hairs en- tirely. Shave your legs or use the special we:. preparations, and shave under the arms; that is easy. Pull out hairs that make the eye- brows ugly. But don’t pull out too many, for the very thin eyebrows that were once popular are most unfashion- | able now; and, indeed, never were really smart. Use peroxide again. with a wisp of cotton on an orangewood stick, wet with it, to bleach the part where the hair has been pulled. Reta O.

A large amount of it taken into the stom- ach might be as poisonous as any other perfume would be. This perfume is be- ing made now in a synthetic form, how- ever, and if it is included in a face cream it sometimes disagrees with cer- tain skins, causing them to break out in a rash. If you have a formula with this perfume added, it is well to change it to “oil of rose geranium.” What to Do With Tan. Perhaps I am a little previous with this; lots of girls are just now off to the shore or the country, having saved up their holiday time until the very tail end of Summer, in the hope of permanent cool weather when they return to work. They'll spend their days away from home busily putting on as much sunburn as possible, and be the envy of their fellow workers and friends when they return. But almost immediately after comes | the problem of getting rid of the often painfully acquired tan! That nice brown skin, that want so marvelously with Summer frocks, looks odd with the early tweeds and serge dresses, and a tan that is half-way gone is a most unbecoming yellow. Liquid powder comes to the rescue in some cases, though I advise you to go carefully in using it. Do not use urally dark, or in the early fading stages of a tan, use cream color or | rachel. In any case, it will be a shade | or more lighter than the skin, and it| will make you an even color, not a spotty mixture of various shades of sunburn. Always use cleansing cream or oil | under it, and wipe this off with an| old towel or with tissues. This way leaves a little oil in the skin, but not enough to keep the powder from stick- ing. In the old days, these powders rubbed off, but they claim they won't now, not even when you use the stuff on your arms and then dance with a But I'd try dancing with some one I knew very well, who wouldn't mind powder on his dress suit sleeves first, if I were you! Cucumber creams, lemon creams, and peroxide creams are very useful for bleaching. So are cucumber Ilotions, while the usual hand bleaches can also be used on the arms and neck. B. E. B—The shade of your black hair would not be changed if you used an egg in your shampoo. The only effect would be to leave your hair feel- ing very soft, and if there are any glints in the coloring it would bring them out for a day or two following the shampoo. Castor oil does not change the shade of the hair when used on the scalp, but this or any other oil will make the hair look a trifle darker while it is on the hair. Massage your scalp every day and the improved circula- tion may be all that you need to over- come the dryness. R. M.—Many cases of baldness will not yleld to any kind of treatment except that of a skilled specialist. Such cases are usually from eight months to three years under daily care, not necessarily the care of the spe- cialist; but the man himself will have to follow directions and apply the lo- tions twice a day, besides giving him- self a daily shampoo with a soap suited to his case. That will be only part of the treatment, as the entire condition must be diagnosed, prescribed dor, and watched so changes may be made in the treating and the medi- cines used. If these cases can be cared for before the follicle closes, new hair will be grown while the microbe is being eradicated, and even though it takes a long time to cure such cases, there will be an improvement right from the start, wherever the follicle is still open.

So many times the two in a room are put on edge, simply by con- troversies about belongings. An eve- ning’s fun is marred, work is made to seem like drudgery, and invitations lose their zest, when people are in an unhappy frame of mind. It is not the momentous things that are the most irritating. It is the little clashes and the constant rubbing the wrong way that take the joy out of life.

It is surprising what can be done with a kitchen in the way of making it artistic as well as ctical, and in the illustration is shown a scheme which one ingenious woman laid out in her kitchen against what might have been a plain wall with just the table drawn up to it. Shelves were built above the table and these made to appear recessed by the building of side pieces connected by a scalloped valance board, which, i & you will notice, was carried on across the space for the stove, Modernistic shelves and drawer spaces were then built on down in sky- scraper fashion from the side pleces, and this arrangement not only gives the piece & very up-to-the-minute ap- pearance, but is very practical, for it will hold so much in'the way of dishes, glassware and cooking utensils.

Time and labor are consumed in the actual moving, not to mention trying to find a suitable abode. Nor is the least of one’s considerations the actual cost of moving. More than one housewife will move to a new abod. this Fall in order to save rent. She will pay the differential in rent to the moving man and only sign a year's lease on her new home. ‘Those who fall into that rut of mov- ing pay more than they can afford almost yearly and gain nothing in com- forts or conveniences for their money. There are some good reasons for moving. They are to find more suit- stantly, cook 1 minutes. Serve at once.
