Mrs j. M: You gave me a complex

great assistance TO me- 1t agreed with
my skin. Unfortunately l have mislaid

Can you repeat it?
DO not know the one to which YOU
REFER. But you might try this: 10

tailow in equal quantities. Add half
the amount of white vaseline Scent with
a good perfume. Beat with an egg beat
er as it is cooling. If too thick add
little almond oil.
Jennie H: am using glycerin and
rose water on my face. But it does not
help it. On the contrary, it gets red
der.
Glycerin does not agree with your
skin. Use witch hazel instead. You
ought to massage a little cream into
your skin once a day. The best cream
for you would be a mixture of olive oil
and spermaceti. the formula for which
was recently given.
u. P: What is the best way to use
cucumber juice on the face? l refer
to the pure juice.
Take a cucumber and split it length
wise in thick slices. Apply to the face
and let it dry. This gives you the juice
direct.
V. T.: My upper lip is covered with
superfiuous hair. Is there any known
remedy except the electric needle?
Yes, there are several remedies. Have

good thing.

pushed into the skin far.
G. F.: Is the electric needle painful?
have understood that it is serious
operation.
1t is not serious. The needle does not
lurt more than any pin prick. You
an do it yourself if you buy a needle.
A reader asks to what extent she shall

After reading your letter carefully it
