managing to be infinitely more
sophisticated in simple suits than

Safe Home Treatment
To Danish Freckles

A homemade lemon oatmeal
pack is the latest suggestion by
a Hollywood makeup specialist to
the girl who's troubled by freckles
in winter time. To make this, mix
one egg white with one lemons
juice and with enough powdered
oatmeal TO make a thin paste.
Apply to face, neck and arms. or
any freckled skin area. Let the
paste dry, then rinse off with
warm water.
The lemon juice is. of course,
what fades your freckles. You
can use it plain II you prefer to.
II you have freckles now, in
winter time when you are not
sun-bathing. you may find them
slow to respond. for they probably
are the sort which seem to run
in family. If that's the case.
why not be a little philosophical
about the matter? The average
freckled nose is pretty cute.
A beauty editors desk gets
plenty d letters from readers who
are worried about freckles. and
once in a while the inquirer is
desperate for wonder-bleach
that will do away with the tiny
spots permanently. Well. there is
none; and it's mistake TO keep
trying to find strong acid bleaches.
If it's strong enough to reach the
pigment. likely it is too strong
for your skin.
So / would advise you to stick

My dear Mr.. Coates:
Thank you for your letter of the
18th with reports for the week
2-6-43, enclosed, showing substan-
tial progress.
You and the entire staff are to be
commended, and I trust this may
simply serve to indicate what it is
possible to accomplish where one
works hard enough. 1t should be
stimulating to your agents to know
that they are really making their
own jobs, and the only limit they
have is their ability and willingness
to work. Please accept my personal
appreciation and that of the board
for the progress that is being made.
Yours for Victory,
