BEAUTY HINTS.

FOR LOVELINESS—A LEMON. Whenever - I am asked for some special beauty hint, there is one reply which 1 invariably give: . “The answer’s a lemon!’’.says a writer. This may sound rather peculiar, but has it ever occurred to.you what an amazing number of beautifying , properties this fruit has?

Whether your particular problem is your figure, your hair, your skin, teeth or hands, it supplies the complete answer. Truly,, the woman who ;has a lemon in the larder has at her disposal a veritable beauty parlour - . It has almost magical whitening and softening properties, and a couple, of lemons cut into thin slices and dropped into tire bath will be found every bit as refreshing as the most expensive bath salts obtainable.

Hair —especially fair hair —can be, 'brightened up considerably by adding ■the juice of one lemon to a pint of .hot water, and using as a final rinse. Jt will also make the hair delightfully soft and manageable.

■ Hands—such an important beauty ;asset—can be kept soft and white by rubbing them, while they are still slightly damp from washing, with a lemon.

i If you are strong-minded enough to forego your early morning cup of tea and drink instead unsweetened lemon water, you will not only ensure for yourself a complexion that is clear and free from blemishes, and bright eyes, but also your figure will keep within fashionable bounds.

The -ovor]ilump should replace milk in afternoon tea with a slice of lemon, and in place of alcoholic refreshment should take barley water with lemon. Freckles will fade away if ‘ dabbed conscientiously with two tablespoonfuls of lemon juice mixed with one .tablespoonful of nun, or if you prefer it, eau de cologne.

And when you have used up all the pulp, the rind should be thinly pared and dropped into the cold water jug to give the water a slightly tonic effect.
