COUNTRY GIRL COSMETICS
Right at Hand, the Country Girl Has
Materials for Beauty
Lotions

The girl living on farm has so many
materials al hand with which to make
acceptable gifts to city friends, and not
the least Of these are the ingredients for
harmless but helpful cosmetics. And.
by the way, asks the Pilgrim, did YOU
know that word cosmetic was derived
from a Greek term signifying skilled in
the art Of decoration or ornament?
From the first, rhubarb sprouts and let
tgce leaves on through spinach (for col
oling creams and lotions), strawberries,
cucumbers, Watermelons and ounce,
with honey and milk and nuts, the girl
Oh the farm has the best and purest
materials to choose from and " ork with.
All expensive Italian cream is made
from the ground green seeds of cucum-
hers, melons and pumpkins made into
flour which is slightly perfumed and
made into paste with sweet cream.
The basis Of nearly all washes for
ehapped hands is ounce seeds, so one
can make their own at slight expense by
.uding extract of witch hazel to the
emulsion With care the girl living on
a farm should have the proVerbial rose
leaf or peaches and cream complexion
until she is at least IS years Of age. The
Juice of cucumbers enters largely into
the preparation OF many face creams and
watermelon juice is famous southern
face wash. Tomato juice is fine for an
oily, greasy skin and the acid Of straw
berries rivals that ofIenfons as bleach
ing agent. The basis Of the most salts
factory cream is clarified mutton talloW,
which, made creamy with almond oil,
sweet with your favorite perfume and
colored with the juices Of lettuce, spin
ach, rose petals or currants, will give
both beauty and pleasure to the re
cipient. Try out mutton suet in dou-
BILE boiler just as lard is rendered and
when It is cold use the top portion, melt
ing it IN a bowl set il hot water. strain
through a hair sieve, then through
cheese cloth, and heat in the almond
oil or other ingredients while still
creamy. The addition Of one dram Of
tinctnre of benzoin or one-haf dram
