OUR BEAUTY CORNER

nowadays. Especially is this so since
fashion has decreed that we shall wear
! low waists even in the daytime. The
throat and neck are therefore exposed
all day long to the dust and dirt that
/ float about the streets.
| Washing the throat with soap and
water is not nearly enough TO take

warm water and good soap after
coming in from a days shopping or
day spent in a shop or office. and then
rub into the crevices good cold
cream Let ii soak in for few min

a wad of absorbent cotton. Don't for
get to rub along the roots OF the hair
as well as the lower part OF the neck.
You will be surprised TO see the dirt
that will come off with the cold cream.
Repeat this process until the cream
which comes off the neck shows no
trace Of dirt.
