pensive lemon lotion which any girl
or woman can easily prepare.
The Juice of two fresh lemons
strained into a bottle containing three
ounces of orchard white makes a
whole quarter pint of the most re-

about the cost one must pay for a
small jar of the ordinary cold creams.
Care should be taken to strain the
lemon 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 freck1es, 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 and make
up a quarter pint of this sWeetly frag-
rant lemon lotion. 1t naturally should
help to soften. freshen, bleach and
bring out the roses and h dden beauty
of any skin. Those who will make il
a habit to gently massage this lotion
into the face, neck, arms and hands
once or twice daily may be repaid
with skin that is flexible and young
