ANSWERS TO LETTER WRITERS

No Namely skin is poor and
Their are spots upon it. Will you kind
ly advise me? l use a great deal Of
soap and water.
You should take better care of your
skin. Begin by washing in well with
vaseline. This is preliminary treat
ment Then battle it with glycerine,
cut with rose water, if your skin will
stand glycerine. Over this you can
apply little powder.
Mrs. X.-Please give me directions
for making rough, faky skin
smooth

ton tallow, one tablespoonful; oil of
sweet almonds, one tablespoonful;
melted vaseline, one tablespoonful. To
this add a tablespoonful of glycerine,
if glycerine agrees with your skin
Wash your face well with soap and

of tincture of benzoin and few
grains of borax. Use as massage

Girl Writer-How can l take black
heads out of my face?
Begin by heating the face well with
hot water. Do not injure the skin,
but wet it well by holding hot cloths
to it. Let the water consist of water,
one quart; borax, one teaspoonful;
rosewater, one tablespoonful. If pos
sible, keep hot over an alcohol flame,
but be careful not to ignite your
clothing. Sweat the face if possible,
and then wash off with hot soap suds.
