am a daily reader of your

it if you would print a formula
for bleaching superfluous hair
on the face and arms. How
soon will obtain results?
Also. what is good for enlarged
pores? M. M.
I do not know any better for
mula for bleaching hairs on
the face and arms than the
following: Three teaspoonfuls
spirits Of camphor, one teas
poonful household ammonia.
Mix these ingredients to-
gether, then apply the lotion
to your skin on absorbent cot
ton. Leave it on three min
utes and wash it off with cold
water. In the course of a few
weeks you should begin to get
results.
To contract pores, after you
cleanse your face. always rinse
1t with very warm, then with
very cold water. If you prefer,
rub lump Of ice over the
pores in place of the cold rinse.
Do not expect instantaneous
results, but watch for gradual
improvement Of your complex

No. It should be served after

2. In both places, where you
are to be for only one meal,
the napkin Is placed "as Is" uI1-
folded, on the left of the plate.
And Of course there is no reason
why you should not put it on
the right, If you wish. The
point is that, in a restaurant,
you know that the napkin will
not be used again. and so you
do not fold it. In the house
of a friend when you are hav-
ing only one meal, it Is Inn
polite to fold the napkin, since
that would imply that you
thought that there was q posi-
bility of its being used again.
