skin.
Rather than squeezing the juice and
putting on with a cloth, as is sometimes
done. l like to rub 1t on directly. To do
this the lemon may be cut in two. and
one-half becomes swab pad that is
thoroughly rubbed over the surface.
After a few minutes the outer slice
should be cut off. leaving a new surface
with which to work. Then. if cleansing is
the point. soft cloth must be mopped
over the skin to take out the dust Rub
bling and wiping should continue until the
cloth shows no trace of CRIME. When
bleaching is the object as for sunburn
and tan. a final rub with the fruit is
essential, letting the last application dry
in
Water must not be used when the skin
is disco!ored. or burning. from exposure
to sun or wind
A most excellent cleanser for the hands
may be made by melting or softenine
cold cream and adding to it lemon juice
and powdered pumice. An ounce of
cream to teaspoonful of pumice and a
teaspoonful of juice is a good proportion.
and the pumice must be put in before
the juice. " hen the last is added the
mixture must be stirred constantly to
combine it all

| Millinery sales are just about to begin
| and those who discover that new hat
will be needed for use on a vacation a
| month or two hence should take advan-
tage of these reductions and make the
purchase now, tand not wait until the
hat is needed. True 1t may be obtained
later for less money but in all proba
bility the choice will be greatly limited
then and the condition of the millinery
will certainly not be as fresh as at
present.
Therefore it will be poor economy to
buy hat tat any price, that is already
half worn out by handling.
Mothers with small daughters will
doubtless be glad to know of a novelty

On summer dressing tables lemons
should always be placed. for this fruit
is an excellent bleach. and light freckles,
a thin coat of tan and stains of various
kinds that assail the skin disappear with
its use. Be 1t understood. however, that
the acid is not strong enough to remove
deep color. and that only by applying 1t
constantly will 1t be efhcacious. Also
like every other such Whitener 1t has
disadvantages and constant application
of it is often drying. For this reason
its effect must be watched. and If there
comes an appearance of chapping for
few days use of the acid must be omit
ted. This is less likely to occur in warm
than in cold weather
One merit of lemon juice as cosmetic
is its cleansing properties. so that 1t may
be brought into requisition both before
and after washing. For instance. when
there are stains on the fingers they
should be dug into the fruit and turned
around when usually vigorous scrubbing
with wet nail brush will remove all traces
of discoloration. For the face. unless sun
burned or freckled; 1t is an excellent
plan to wipe over the complexion with
the Juice then wash and again put it on
