on the scene, would give him a breath

Picking up her fishing tackle, Gordon
assisted Mildred up the embankment

because the skin is more apt to be
tender and to chap easily. Among
the many formulas for such substi.
tutes the following have proved good.
and all are simple and easily pre-.
pared: .:*y
Almond meal is the mixture most
universally used instead OF toilet soap,
and a good combination calls for. four
ounces each Of powdered orris root
and wheat -four; one ounce powdered
CASTLE soap, one ounce borax powder
and two fluid drains oil Of bergamot
Mix well and pass through sieve,
using as you would soap. VI nj;
The cereal lotions are all good and
can be made as follows: Barley water
is made by boiling gently six ounces
Of pearl barley in one quart OF water
for half hour. When cold. strain
carefully and add q half teaspoonful
Of tincture Of benzoin. Another sim.
il6r preparation is made from gen.
<erous handful OF oatmeal boiled in 2
quart OF water for fifteen or twenty
minutes, cooled and strained. One
ounce Of alcohol and one tablespoon
Z ful OF lemon juice gives it the cleans
ing properties. and also helps to keep
the lotion from growing rancid. These
are best kept In cool place. Corn
meal can be used instead Of the oat
meal, II more convenient.
A cucumber cleansing lotion can be
made from one ounce Of strained Gu.
cumber juice, one-half ounce OF rose
water and scant teaspoonful OF pow.
dered borax. Less OF the borax can
be used for dry skin.
A very simple cleansing mixture
contains one large cupful of finely
ground oatmeal with one tablespoon
full powdered olive oil soap carefully
mixed through it. When the hands
are washed with this combination they
are softened and whitened as well
as perfectly cleansed.
The small bags Of cheesecl9th flled
with equal portions OF oatmeal and
wheat bran can be often used In place
OF soap. when the hands are only
slightly soiled, and save the skin from g
becoming rough and chapped.
