If you have q hurry call to be beau

the permanent affair here's your
chance: First wash your face with
warm water and almond meal. Make
a sort of paste Of those things and
wash off with warm water and dry
lightly. Then apply your skin food
lest there be any reaction From the
drastic treatment to follow. Now
take a piece of lemon and rub 1t over
the face till the skin smarts. Rinse
again, this time with water that is
gradually brought down from cool to
cold.
You are then ready for the final GER
emory. Hold a good sized piece of
ice in n towel and iron your face with
1t. Then look In the glass. This has
been found-an absolutely reliable rec
ipe before asking for the coveted new
