LEMONS BRING OUT
THE HIDDEN BEAUTY
Make this lotion for very little
cost and Just see
for yourself.

An attractive skin wins admiration.
In social life and in business the girl
or woman whose face and hands show
evidence Of constant care enjoys tre-
mendous advantage over those who do
not realize the value Of a healthy skin
and spotless complexion.
At the cost Of a small jar Of ordinary
cold cream one can prepare full quar-
ter pint OF the most wonderful lemon
skin softener and complexion beautifier,
by squeezing the juice Of two fresh lem
Ions into O. bottle containing three
ounces OF orchard white. Care should
be taken to strain the juice through a
fine cloth so no lemon pulp gets in. then
this lotion will keep fresh for months.
Every woman knows that lemon juice is
used to bleach and remove such blem-
ishes as freckles, sallowness and tan,
land is the ideal skin softener, smooth
lener and beautifier.
Just try it! Get three ounces OF or
chard white at any pharmacy and two
lemons from the grocer and make up q
quarter pint OF this sweetly fragrant
lemon lotion and massage 1t daily into
the face. neck, arms and hands. It nat
Eurally should help to soften, freshen
Ibleacl1 and bring out the roses and
lbeAuty Of any skin.
