with little cold cream this simple ana
pleasant wash will remove the discoi1ratr
and swelling as if by magic, and leave lte
skin cool and smooth. To prevent tan and
sunburn, it is algood plan to take tie Juice
OIL fresh lemon and rub it on thoroughly be-
fore gong INTO the open AIR. allowing itta
dry on the face; at night dust Attle ls.-
meal upon the skin. and the next morning.
after washing it off apply little cold cream
or buttermilk. Such a simple and harus--
treatment will be found much more efec.-s
than the use of cosmetic, which close %
the pores, and dry and roughen the frs
complexion in a frightful way, and in a r-T
