nary cold cream one can prepare a
full quarter pint Of the most won
derful lemon skin softener and COM
plexion beautifier, by squeezing the
Juice of two fresh lemons into a
bottle containing three ounces Of

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 re-
move such blemishes as freckles. sal

Just try it, Get three ounces Of

make up quarter pint of this sweet
