SUPERFLOUS HAIR—
BEAUTY’S BUG-A-BOO
By JOSEPHINE HUDDLESTON
Bleaching a slight growth cl hair is by far the best way to make it
unnoticeable. A bleach that has given satisfaction in this field is made
by mixing four drops of ammonia and one tablcspoonful of peroxide with
sufficient fuller's earth or chalk of magnesia to
make a creamy paste. Either fitller's earth or chalk
of magnesia may be used, and either are easily ob
tainable at any drug store for a small sum.
Perhaps the best way to compound this formula
is to measure the peroxide and ammonia into a
small glass dish and then to add the fuller's earth
or chalk of magnesia until the desired consistency is
obtained.
After cleansing the skin and removing all excess
cream, smooth the bleaching paste over the hairs
and allow it to remain on for eight minutes. At
fthe end of that time remove the paste with tepid
« water, pat the skin dry and massage a liberal
£ amount of cold cream over the area to counteract
SM I the slight drying action of the bleach. After a few
JOSEPHINE minutes the cream may be removed.
HUDDLESTON One such treatment should make the hair much
lighter in color; frequently the one application is all
that wdll be necessary. If the hair is very dark, however, you may need
to repeat the treatment two or three times, a lowing 24 hours to elapse
between applications.
Pure lemon Juice often proves effectual for keeping hair on the face
and arms Vght in color, and unless'
it is very dark, should be tried be
fore using the stronger bleach of
fered at the beginning of this ar
ticle.
Pure lemon Juice is patted on the
hair and allowed to dry. It may
be used several times daily, and if
it is strong enough in your case re
sults will be observed after six or
seven applications.
If such a time comes when
bleaching no longer prevents hair
on the face and arms from marring
ones appearance some method of
removing it should be adopted, but
only after careful deliberation and
perhaps consultation with a reliable
physician. Unless, of course, you
don't mind removing the hair your
self with a depilatory.
In all probability your doctor will
suggest having the roots of the hair
killed by the use of an electric
needle and will recommend a thor
oughly reliable person who special
izes in this work so that the possi
bility of ill effects from such a pro
cedure is minimized.
If you want to remove the hair
yourself, however, you have a wide
choice of brands of depilatories, but
this array of names sifts down to
three types perhaps being better
known—the paste or cream form,
the powder and the wax.
There is little if any difference
in the results obtained from the
use of paste and powder depilato
ries. Both are only a chemical
shave, removing the hair at the
surface of the skin. The cream or
paste comes in tubes and is ready
for use; the powder form must
have water added to it to make a
paste or cream before it can be
used.
In either case the hair grows back
within a short time and must be
removed again.
The wax depilatories, a depilating
method (which means to remove
the roots so that the tweezing. and
electric needle treatments comp
under this classification, too) break
off the hairs below the surface of
the skin and so it takes longer for
them to grow out and make their
appearance above the surface of
the skin. This in itself is a de
cided advantage. However, the ap
plication of wax depilatories re
quires more care than is needed for
the paste or cream forms.
The wax must be thoroughly
heated before it is placed over the
hair and yet it must not be hot
enough to burn the skin. Also it
must be removed at just the right
temperature or else it will harden,
which makes its removal not only
difficult, but extremely painful.
There is some pain even when the
wax is at the correct temperature
and It is advisable to remove the
hair only a very small area at one
time.
The action of these wax depila
tories is much the same as smooth
ing a bit of adhesive tape over the
skin and then pulling it off. When
this is done one will find a number
of small hairs adhering to the tape,
and. insofar as I can see, there is
no reason why this method isn't as
satisfactory.
After removing superfluous hair
ic
by any of these methods a bit of
alcohol should be lightly sponged
over the area. It will sting like
anything for a second, but it will
also act as a disinfectant, and this
should be followed immediately by
a liberal application of cold cream
or a soothing hand lotion.

HEALTH DISHES
TO BE TAUGHT
Herald Cooking School Ex
pert Verted In Vege
table Diets
Mrs. Myra Oliver Dougin, one of
the nation's greatest experts in home
economics and cookery, who has
been selected to conduct The Herald
cooking school, brings to her work
an amazing background based on
laboratory experience of the inher
ent ar.d relative values of vegetable
dishes. In the cooking school, which
she will conduct under the auspices
of The Herald, September 23-27,
Mrs. Dougan will preside in a mod
em kitchen in which she will dem
onstrate the actual preparation and
cooking of vegetable items, and ex
plain in detail the values to be ob
tained from each. Thousands of
public appearances in her chosen life
work have lent to Mrs. Dougan an
extremely attractive stage presence.
While she deals with what might
be otherwise a dry subject from a
highly practical standpoint, her per
sonality so colors her incidental re
marks that she holds her listeners
spell-bound, while at the same time
bringing to them the very latest
findings of the world's greatest food
laboratories in the preparation and
selection of balanced food rations
without losing, but rather, gaining in
the general p&latability of the me
nus prepared.
Information hitherto considered
unattainable form a regular portion
of her discourse—the little tricks
and short exits of cookery that can
make all the difference in the world
between drudgery and skilled en
deavor. are graphically portrayed by
Mrs. Dougan as she works in her
own kitchen before the eye of thcv>e
assembled. Tremendous throngs of
women are greeting her at her-ev
ery public appearance, and it is be
lieved that Valley housewives will
turn out en masse for all of her five
lectures
The Herald wishes to remind its
readers that these lectures are en
tirely free of charge and without
obligation. It is suggested that every
housewife should be checking on the
incidental data published in The
Herald from day to day regarding
the cooking school and should make
plans immediately to attend not only
one lecture, but all of them, carry
ing her note book with her in order
that she mav obtain the maximum
amount of advantages.
Lectures w-ill begin at 2:30 prompt
ly. Monday. September 23. and will
continue for five consecutive days.
