Solution to Keep the Hair
Curled
,; V. P. Try tho following lotion on your
hair: -One ounce of gum arable, eae-
,'tiaU ounce of good moist sugar, three-
quarters of a pint of pure hot water,
two fluid ounces of alcohol, six grains
ct bichloride ot mercury, six grains of
aalammonlac. '
; The last two Mhojld be dissolved In
the alcohol before admixture. Lastly,
dd enough water to make the whole
measure one pint. Perfume with
cologne or lavender water. Moisten the
Vat. wlfh tin fluM hpfnr. mit-Hnr it In
the papers or curlers. . . i
This Is too strong a solution to be
applied repeatedly, as It would surely
have a destructive effect on the hair
follicles. Therefore, it : should not be
too frequently applied, nor at too
Bhort intervals. An occasional use, how
ever, is practically harmless.
Superfluous II air
A SUBSCRIBER Here is an efficient
depilatory: On hundred grains of sul
pbydrate of soda, 200 grains of chalk.
Mix thoroughly, and keep dry in well
corked bottle urUl wanted for use. Take
enough to make a paste and add. warm
water to it until the proper consistency
Is secured. Spread over the hairy sur
Tace and allow to remain for from one
to five minutes, aocording to the nature
of the growth and the susceptibility of
the skin; then scrape off with a blunt
Hade a paper knife, for example. It
jshould' be removed, as In every ease -With
a depilatory, when the burning -sensation

tact with the skin should be avoided, '
And Immediately after the hair has
been removed the denuded surface
should be gently washed with warm
water and a cold cream or a bland
oil applied to prevent Irritation.
Tou will find this an excellent tooth
powder: Four ounces of precipitated
chalk, eight ounces oZ powdered orris
foot, one ounce of powdered cam
phor. Triturate the camphor In a
mortar, moistening it with t very
little alcohol. Add other ingredlonts .
and mix thoroughly, therf-slft through

tion used In the dumbbell exercise, only
the towel must be used In any case
and no time la wasted. To gel the best
effects from this motion breathing should
be deep and long, and the head should
bo held erect.
When bending over one should be care
ful to hold the shoulders straight and
to bend the back from the hips, for only
In this way Is grace acquired, and tho
simple motion of rubbing the towel up
agd down takes the place of pulllrj "up
the weights fastened on the wall.
In fuct, regarding all thmotionn an
the ri'gular form of the Delsarte method
in the first and second, the towel is used
Instead of the wand; in the third .till
ing the towel around the hips Is - ctly
the same motion one goes through in
giving the Indian clubs a douLie twirl.
Drying tho back of the neck Is tho
dumbbell motion, while weights and
parallel bars are used with exactly tho
same muscles which are put into play
when bending to the knees.
In taking the exercises scientifically
a little more than the usual tinio Is spent
for the morning ablutions, while the
time for exercising is saved, th s add
ing five minutes to each dny for work
or pleasure, and these little economics
count when reckoned by years, wnila
no one can afford to neglect some little
systematic effort to develop the figure.
