The WOmdn'S

Wants to start Right

TO the Editor Of Woman's PAGE;
Dear Madam--First. Docs cold
cream, rubbed on the face every nights
make hair grow on the face? Does 1t
in any way bcautify the complexion!
Second. When lemon is used to
whiten the complexion is it used alone
or diluted with watcr!,
Third. Docs little power put on
the face to take the shine off harm the
complexion?
Fourth. What care should q girl
of fourteen take Of her nails. She is
now beginning high school.
Fifth. What is simple way to
clean over CATERS.
Sixth. 1 am fourteen. but tall for
my age Give feet two inches): am
too young to wear a suit? y. y. II.
First. 1t is possible to get cold
cream that contains nothing to make
hair grow on the face. In buying any
make sure of what you are getting. by
keeping the pores clean and softcning
the skin a good cold cream does i'm
prove the complexion. However. at
your age it is not necessary for you
to use cold cream except for an occa
sional thorough cleaning Of the skin.
Second. When lemon is used to
whiten the skin it can be applied by
simply cutting the lemon and rubbing
it on the face or if this is too severe
the juice can be diluted with little
glycerine.
Third. If the powder is always well
washed off the face afterward and not
allowed to clog up the pores little
does not hurt the skin. However, a
girl of fourteen is too young to use any
powder; her skin is fresh enough as
it is.
Fourth A girl of fourteen ought to
devote five minutes or so a day to the
care of her nails. This should include
keeping the nails moderately short with
q file, pushing back the cuticlc with the
blunt end Of an orange stick with a
little bit of cotton twisted around it
and thorough cleaning of the nails with
a well -sharpened orange stick. Put a
little cold cream around the cuticle mt
night to soften it. Never cut the Gu =
ticle.
Fifth. You arc not too young to wear
a suit appropriate for girl of your
age. A sports model would be youthful
and smart for. you.
n Sixth. q: Many girls wash their over
CATERS or spats. - Use lukewarm suds,
rinsing them in water of the same TEN =
peraturc. AS spats usually stretch the
shrinking incidental to the washing is
as q rulc. welcome.
