SKIN TONIC

Keeping That Complexion

For your ears,- and yours alone, • fair '\ ones, we send out a warn- ) ing: If you want -to keep that j schoolgirl complexion* and not to " "look . old before : your time — look \ after your skin. " ■ I DERHAPS you do, but i Ihink I art 'i ; safe m saying that 90 per cent. ot\t the young girls do; not. give more than j, a, cursory -attention to the proper and | thorough cleansing of their skins. .) Dust, grime, powder, rouge and , L the wind .will all. contribute to the j /devastating :wear , and tear that results m blotchy , skins, , rough, f places and a general r uncared-f or - appearance. ' . * ■ Every now and again — not too of ten > — give your skin a, thorough cleansing and toning up m this fashion: / > First bathe the face m hot water, to j which is added a handful, of oatmeal, > then dip into the water 'a few pieces of | towelling and cover the face (except t the eyes) with them, i 1 Hold them there until the. face is ♦ scarlet arid the: pores, open, then smear some good cold cream over your -face, 5 your. neck, and. into eveEy. wrinkle and ; line. Leave on f or ten miriutes ", and f wipe off with cotton wool. .; V ; . Repeat this treatment until the wool shows no dirty greasy marks. » Now wash your face with warm # water and a reliable olive oil soap,* which should be followed up by a rinse m icy- cold water or alternately a brisk; rub ( all over with. a piece of ice. ' -j Do this and you'll feel heaps better, and, what's more, will look it. '■'■'■■

"The hands may be kept soft!; and white if rubbed with oatmeal while still ,wef. - ' - n : If a blotter, saturated with turpentine, is .placed among-, heavy closing, it will, keep the moths away. ;>
