In all weathers the akin and com-
plexion can be kept wonderfully clear,
soft and white by the use of this inex-
pensive lemon lotion which any girl or
woman can easily prepare.
The juice of two fresh lemons strain-
ed into a bottle containing three
ounces of orchard white makes a whole
quarter pint of the most remarkable
lemon skin beautlfier at about the
cost one must pay, for a small jar of
the ordinary cold creams. Care should
be taken to strain the leinon 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 re-
move such blemishes as freckles, sal-
lowness and tan. and is the ideal skin
softener, smoothener and beautlfier.
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 fra-
grant lemon lotion. It naturally
should help to soften, freshen, bleach
and bring out the roses and hidden
beauty of any skin. Those who will
make It a habit to gently massage this
lotion Into the face, neck, arms and
hands once or twice daily may be re-
paid with a skin that Is flexible and
