that lobster and other shell fish will in
duce an eruption resembling the childish
complaint of hives.
Very fair skins show irritation, and
after even very mild treatment they
break out in little rash. which may
disappear in time. but which is not
pleasant to look at nor comfortable
while It lasts.
All those who have sensitive skins
should. therefore. treat them with an
application OF skin food after the
scrubbing. little strawberry cream
will allay any irritation, and it Is very
easily and inexpensively made.
Strawberry Cream.
For strawberry cream buy a small pot
OF cold cream. obtainable anywhere,
and melt 1t in a double basin over hot
water. Take the Juice of three ripe
strawberries or a tablespoonful Of the
strained Juice of canned berries and stir
it into the cold cream. This amount OF
strawberry Juice is suited to an ounce
jar of cold cream. Add six drops Of cas-
tor oil and three drops of altar of roses.
You will have a delicately tinted prep
aration which, when cold, is very nice to
put on the skin after the face scrubbing.
Leave it on an hour, and then wash It
off with hot water.
For obstinate spots nothing will do but
cut lemon. II you have a nasty, yell
low freckle on one cheek in the shape Of
splash Of yellow, which defes soap and
water. then try lemon Juice. Cut lemon
in two and rub the afflicted spot with the
cut lemon-quicklyl Do not let 1t stay
on long. and Immediately wash off with
hot water. For an infiamed nose a Lon
don beauty doctor is giving castor oil,
taken internally. in wintergreen, to
make it less nauseating.
For the Golf Skin.
For the golf skin-and this is the
skin which shows red spots and yellow
spots and spots of every kind-there
must be another treatment. The golf
girl pays the penalty of her exercise
in the open air by a crop of blemishes
which she could not get in any other
way, try as she might.
For this girl. and for the woman
whose face is yellow. there is the milk
treatment. Take perfectly fresh milk
and heat 1t very hot. but do not let 1t
boil. for boiling takes away some of It's
beneficial properties.
Take a bit of antiseptic gauze. or IL
you do not happen to have this article
in the house take a piece of clean old
linen. and dipping it in the milk. apply
it TO the face. Put 1t on freely and
let it dry on. Heat the MIX again and
put on more. again letting 1t dry on.
II you can remain in the house for the
afternoon you will find your skin will
be much benefited by It's milk bath. Do
not wash off until it is time to dress
for dinner. Then you will find your skin
has nice satiny texture and is SO
smooth you can put powder upon it.
Milk will not leave the skin oily or
shiny. but will bring a natural tint
with it.
Powder settles in the pores and shows
plainly; and the skin becomes SO rough
1t is impossible to do anything with it.
1t feels stiff and sore and looks ugly.
Warmed Sweet Oil.
Warmed sweet Oil, however, can be
rubbed into the rough places and wash
ed off. II this is done once a day the
roughness will soon disappear.
1t would be very good thing to put it
on at night and leave until morning.
but if it is not convenient to do this
the sweet oil can be applied after break
fast and washed off when necessary.
| II blackheads are not too large and
too deep they can be taken away by the
face scrubbing process. but II they are
of long standing they require a special
| treatment, which is rather severe, but
! effective. There is really no need Of
| having blackheads in the face. for they
are on the surface and can be taken on
In every case.
1t is remarkable how many of the de-
fects OF the skin can be made to disap-
pear. Blemishes that are of long stand
ing will disappear when the face 10
properly treated, and the women who
had begun to despair Of ever having .
good skin soon rejoices in the COM
plexion OF the kind that is sometimes
POLITICALLY described as peaches aud
cream"
Il is really worth the experiment. and
there is no one beauty agency which
gives as quick a reward as that which
selects the complexion for its field of
active endeavor.
