GIRLS! MAKE A
BEAUTY LOTION
WITH LEMONS
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

At the cost of a small jar of ordi-
nary cold cream one can prepare a
full quarter pint of the most wonder
ful lemon skin softener and complex
ion beautifier by squeezing the juice
of two fresh lemons into a bottle con-
tanning 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
blemishes as freckles, sallowness and
tan and is the ideal skin softener,
smoothener and beautifier.
Just try It! Get three ounces OF
orchard white at any pharmacy and
two lemons from the grocer ana
make up a quarter pint Of this sweet
ly fragrant lemon lotion. and massage
# daily into the face. neck. arms and
hands. It should naturally help to
whiten. soften, freshen and bring out
the roses and beauty of any skin. It
is truly marvellous to smoother rough
red hands.
