LEMONS WHlTEN AND

Make this beauty lotion cheapIy for

At the cost of a small jar of ordinary
cold cream one can prepare u full quar-
ter pint Of the most wonderful lemon
skin softener and complexion beautifier,
by squeezing the juice of two fresh lem.
ons into u bottle containing three ounces
of orchard white. Care should be taken
to strain the juice through fine cloth
SO no lemon pulp gets in, then this To-
ton 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, whitener and
bcautifer.
just try it! Get three ounces of
orchard white at any drug store and
two lemons from the grocer and make up
a quarter pint of this sweetly fragrant
lemon lotion and massage it daily into
the face, neck, arms and hands It is
marvellous to smoother rough, red hands.
