MOORE BUSINESS FORMS McGIasson's 1104 Adams PITTSBURGH sun PAINT LASTS LONGER Millr Cabinat Shop rids for baldness. He died in 1946 at the age of 90, completely bald. These recipes began in the days of the Medici. Probably the most famous of all were pamphlets compiled by Caterina Sforza of Forli. She was one of the early beauty experts in the world. A descendant, Caterina dei Medici, made famous the Italian art of cosmetics and perfume's of the 15th Century. But Caterina Sforza invented this Italian art. And while other great ladies of her day secretly tried out many beauty cures and aids, jealousy guarding their finds, she published every one of her recipes. Caterina Sforza had a natural beauty, but she always feared wrinkles and old age that would "deter a husband's love." Most important for Caterina was the "liscio" or face cosmetic. She was not content with ordi nary powdered rice or antimony for the cheeks, saffron for the lips, sage for the teeth, and char coal for the eyelids and eye brows. She came up with start ling applications of fresh meat for the care of the face. In face-creams, Caterina Sforza went for refined beeswax mixed with distilled water, which she applied in the evening and re moved the next morning by washing off with specially pro served spring water. A hand cream consisted of boil ed nettle roots and leaves. Net tle juice also, was considered good tor dandruff. Caterina Sforza invented a face-freshener of rose water in which two ounces of camphor, sulphur and myrrh had been steeped. In Venice, women were the firsl to dye their hair blonde. Their method was to wash the hair in egg and saffron and then bleach it in the sun on their torranccs. It was more successful as a means to meet their lovers - Caterina Sforza experimented with the problem of bleaching and came up with the usual egg and saffron wash, but added a distill ed concoction of cinnabar and sulphur. She also invented the first blonde tints. One was celandine (figwort), pink agrimony, roots and stalks of brushbroom, and-oat hay, boiled slowly in a sieve con tainer. The second consisted of pome granate peels, ash pith, broom flowers ahd melted soap. Both washes needed careful drying in the sun so that the hair would be come the "color of gold." For the "lips, her remedy was acquavilc and roots of myrrh steeped in strong wine. . A good day-cream for the face was mashed bitter almonds cook ed under a slow heat with iris of Levant flowers,, -mustard seeds rose water and unrefined honey Beauty cures and aids have not changed much in 500 years, It seems..
