A TOILET ‘ TIP? 
Lanoline should never be used alone on 
the face. When combined with white 
wax and spermaceti, it is a most excellent 
tissue builder and eradicator of wrinkes. 
It will not, when so combined, cause a 
growth of hair on the face.

FOR CHAPPED HANDS. 
Chapped hands are no doubt troublesome 
to some readers. Here is a useful pallia- 
tive recipe: Unsalted lard, a quarter of a 
pound; yolks of two fresh eggs; rose 
water to mix well. Adda large spoonful 
of honey and enough fine oatmeal to work 
it into a paste.

SAVE YOUR CELERY TOPS. 
Never throw away your celery tops, 
except those that have turned yellow or 
that are decaying. Keep all the leaves to 
put in the soup, or dry them and use as 
flavouring. A little soup stock and a few 
bones left over from finished cold joints, 
together with the leaves of a head of celery 
make excellent soup when boiled down.
