ing your clothing with the odor. 1t cannot
be done cheaply.
|. Women who go in for these odors usually
select one particular scent and they per-
fume their entire clothing with it. using
great quantities.
Another young woman writes: wish

You must take many ounces of violet
sachet and make It into bags. Hang them
In your clothes press.
Now place sachets In your bureau draw

hang sachet bags. inside. Use q great deal
Of the powder.
There are women who move in an atmos-

What can do to remove a most trouble
SOME growth from my lip and the sides Of
my face?
To you. and to numberless Others there
must be given the same advice.
In the first place. 1t is impossible to tell
you Just exactly what to do without know
"s more about your case.
One reader was cured of q troublesome
down by merely using peroxide Of hydro
gen and ammonia. Another was cured OF
stiff bristling hair by pulling them out and
applying diluted ammonia to tho skin.
Still another was cured by the salve stick
and by the application Of peroxide to the
skin afterwards.
But remember that one application will
not do the work. You must take fully two
weeks for Its complete cure. and even
month.
Mrs. L. Hive read your beauty column
every week and have been much improved
by its advice. Do you think that the use
of cold cream will make the hair grow?
No. indeed. Hair often appears on the
face at the age of 40. when 1t has been
smooth up to that time.
You must not blame It to cold cream.
but you must go to work as quickly as pos
sible to free your skin Of this blemish.
OF course you can be cured. 1t is ridiculous
to think that you cannot.
Grace-What can do for summer freck-
les?
Wash your face well in soap and hot
water. Apply a split cucumber. letting the
