MRS. II.

coffee three times day. This is Sc

Miss B.-You must not apply lemon
juice to the face every day. 1t will

remove it with soap and water and ap-
ply cold cream afterward.

How can 1 make them lie down? Please
tell me also how to remove freckles

lemon juice cautiously on a few of
them. If the lemon Injuries your skin
you must dilute it with water. About
the ears, L would not advise you to
wear an ear cap until you have ex-
perimented with your ears a little. You
are probably thin. When you tatten up
they will not be so conspicuous Try
also curling the hair around the ears
to make little love locks. These hide
the ears.

much admired golden color, but near
the roots it is several shades darker

of soda. Rinse in clear water and dry
in the sun.
