pure and simple is far from pleasant
from the lips of pretty woman. There
is much for Americans to learn in the
way of voice culture and accent, and it is
| astonishing that hardly any of the fash
ionable schools for girls recognize this
great natural defect and try to over
come it.
Eve. says the New York World, was

From the same source of information it
| seems that "she freckled." Being the
first edition Of wOmanhood, her liver
| presumably was all right, and so her
| freckles must have been caused by the
sun. A squeeze of lemon juice, little
milk and wild honey applied before going
to her moss-covered bed would have re-
| moved them.
| Sun freckles can be bleached out; liver
| freckIes have to be burnt off, or allowed
| to wear out. Liver freckles can only be
determined by their permanency.
Spring is The season for sun freckles
| the crop may be increased during the
| early summer, but the chill winds of
autumn will scatter them, and those that
withstand the bleaching, cleansing breath
of winter have nothing to do with the
sun. They indicate feeble circulation,
| diseased liver or weak constitution.

| superf1uity OF iron in the blood, either in
| herited or the result of iron -tinctured
| drugs. waters and foods.
The most popular freckle cures, harm
| less if not remedial, to be found in the
standard books on cosmetics were in use
| during Aspasia's S reign. A cure as old as
| Christianity illustrates the simple faith
| of the Roman maiden to whom it was
| recommended:
"Distillation of watercress and half
| the quantity of honey; apply to the freck-
| les night and morning until they disap-
pear" -5
Cure No. 2. "Juice of the milk weed,
lime juice and oil of almonds use
abundantly for large and little freck-
| les"
Cure 8. "Dissolve a little rock cam
phor in olive oil and apply as needed. ;"
Cure 4. dissolve some camphor in oil
of turpentine, perfume with altar of rose
and touch each blemish with the lotion. "
Sweet milk, sour milk, buttermilk and
cream have always been used and are
still recommended. Applied to the face
as soon as the darts of Appolo appear, re-
lief should be had in night.
The use of white or light wells during
spring blows and summer suns is the
penny's worth of prevention that out
weighs the pound of cure. A white veil
reflects the light, and is a non-conductor
of heat "a blue veil absorbs the light and
black veil absorbs everything-su
heat dust, attention and personal sun
shine. The regular complexion wells sold
in Paris, Calcutta Rome and the Orien-
tai capitals are sun cOlors-straw, wheat
| and corn yellow; flame white, cream and
the light tan, almond or burnt brown.
So much for the sun freckles.
The liver freckles are stubborn proofs
of internal arrangement. As the youth
| develops ana the health improves these
brown patches will fade, and as years ad-
vance disappear altogether.
A certain New York firm made a for
tune out of freckle cure. About two
| years ago the firm was dissolved, and
one of the manufacturers went to Ger
many TO brighten up the bonny faces of
the Berlin girls. Now the Germans have
two strong points-philosoph and chem
| istry The ''cure" was so well adver-
tised that it sold, and the sale attracted
the attention of the local authorities. A
bottle was procured for Herr Somebody,
the great little analyst to his Imperial
Majesty, and when his report was re-
ceived an order was issued for the ar

but the skin goes with them; it burns
like hot tCoals and leaves a raw, sore place.
The idea is TO burn off the outer skin; if
the freckle is sun freckIe il will come off

no benefit whatever will be derived, aside
