delicate than any. Inasrnuch a. women

One Of the most efficient and simple
skin bleaches in the world is: To fifteen
cents worth of glycerin add an equal
quantity OF rosewater. Mix one ounce
OF borax and four Of alcohol and add

A false nose certainly might be intro
duced, which under veil would not be
perceptible. and would do away with
that foe to all summer comfort for some
the red nose. After long ride last
summer two girls used a bleach which
had been recommended by one who had
used it successfully. From one it re-
moved the suns kisses in night: on
the other It brought out a regular bridge
OF pimples across the nose and both
cheeks % the ears! Zinc ointment cured
them quickly. Cainphor and carnphor-
ated vaseline must be avoided, being
hair producers, but there Ia nothing like
the latter TO kill a pimple; sweet almond
oil il also good. A little tannin and
opium mixed with the retiring cream is
a harmless, quick. sure cure for red
nose. Specialists now have way of
reducing redness by COMPRISING the
blood vessels.
