EAR MISS LEEDS: Will you kindly answer this question in your beauty column? I have Teceived a large bottle of toilet water (it is not the first) and | I would like to know what it is used for? I have never known any one that | had any particular use for it! Thank- | ing you for your opinion and advice on | this ‘matter, I am, very sincer E. R.J. Answer—A bottle of toilet water is both a useful and a pleasing gift that | you should appreciate and value. | There are many ways_in which it may | be used regularly. After your bath sprinkle a little of it on your chest, arms and underarms and massage the skin until it is dry, then dust with tal- cum powder. Use it again in the morn- ing before dressing for business or home duties. It will impart a feeling of daintiness and freshness. Use it two or three times a day in hot weather and notice how cool and fresh you feel, both mentally and physically. For a head- ache wring a small towel from cold wa- ter and sprinkle it with the toilet water and plac: it over your forencad, place another one at the nape of the neck. ‘Then lie down and relax. It is soothing end helps to relax nervous tension after a hard day's grind in the office or in the home. ~ After a facial treatment use it @s a mild astringent by moistening a towel first with ice-cold water and then the toilet water.

We should expzct to find her a cheerful, optimistic person, one who finds much happiness and joy in living. Apparent- ly she is a lover of music, finding it a language for emotions she could not otherwise express. It would not be surprising if already she had cultivated her talents in this direction. With a seeming inborn scnse of harmony and rhythm, a musica reer might afford her a vocation would call forth her best effos all instruments, th» violin would appar- ently claim first interest, its warmth and humanness of tone making it al- most a living thing for her. Seemingly ranking second to the writer's musieal abilities there is a tal- ent for short-story composition. Pos- sibly she has attempted writing from time to time, and has been dissatisfied with her efforts. It would not be trite to assure her that, although competition is keen, every suc- cessful writer has at first produced much material of a trivial nature. Out of these efforts, however, has come a sense cf sureness and poise which only prac- tice begets. Hence she should develop this talent by doing at least some writ- ing every day. The beauties of nature would prob- ably appeal strongly to her. Outdoor sports possibly are her favorite diver- sion. Horesback riding through the city parks might ideally blend these two interests, affording vigorous exercise amid charming surroundings. For gay and intimate little parties she is apparently an enihusiast. Of a likable, friendly disposition, it is prob- | able she would draw to her a coterie of friends who would find much in com- mon. By these friends she is considered a leader type. Note—Analysis of handwriting 1z mot an exact science, according to world in- vestigators, but all agree it is interesting and fots of fun.
