When the hair looks coarse and dry, and seems to have lost its lus- tre, give it an olive oil bath. Apply the warm oil to the scalp, and · mas- | sage it well into the roots, then wring a large towel in very hot water and fold it over the head. Do this a second time, then sham-1 poo the hair with egg julep, made by beating the yolks of two eggs with A dessertspoonful of melted green soap jelly. Another hat towel, applied before the hair is dried, will make it soft, silky and Casy to "get."

A sallow skin may be improved by the application of a bran and buttermilk maak. Mix bran with buttermilk to a thick paste. Cover the face and neck evenly with this, leave for ten minutes, then remove with warm water followed by cold. If this treatment is repeated every second day, the skin will rapidly regain fairness,

"Tired" eyes should be bathed night and morning with equal parts of witch hazel and water. This is an excellent tonic 'for eyes which the are suffering from strain or effects of sun glare.
Lines round the eyes can be re- moved by smoothing unprepared lanoline over the wrinkles. Melt
the lanoline, or soften it by mixing with a few drops of warm almond oil, and take great care not to stretch the skin when applying it. Tap the grease gently into the skin and remove surplus with tissues. In the morning use a mild astrin- gent lotion on a.pad of cotton-wool.
