til the skin feels hot. Cover with cold

and hot water. using the tips of the

Mrs. D.-How often must blackheads
be taken out of the face? L succeed
in taking them out, but they do not
stay out. They come right back.
Blackheads should be removed at
least once a week. If the pores are
kept clean and open after a while they
will close of their own accord. Open
pores spoil the beauty of many a face.

recommended for special cases. Each
has its own advantage. The electric
needle is the surest. but it is expen-

Next come the tweezers, followed by
a weak acid solution such as diluted
ammonia. Then comes the salve stick,
and last, thought not least, there are
the bleaches which make the hair in
visible.
