though they are decreed to be worn

ANSWER
You are trying to cure eczema
by only one method. You must re-

and pimples won't return.

is wrong with your milk. Usually

TWO SPORT MODELS

Sports clothes, more and more q.
fad during the past few seasons, not
only among those who go In for
sport but also among many who
don't, deserve much credit for the
growing comfort and saneness OF
dress.
Picked at random, here are two
spring models.
The blouse Is Of wool jersey tub
ing, the material uncut. The extra
fitness is taken in by the diagonal
pleat.
The dress is made with a wrap
around skirt that may be fastened
with snaps in town, and left to flap
around knee-length Knockers when
the wearer is hiking in the country.
