How Skin Blemishes May Be Cured
Before Becoming Chronic
__
REAMS. lotions, ointments,
, powders, pastes and then
what? Well, today it’s a
grand jelly preparation for cor
recting enlarged pores and oily
complexion.
Blackheads and whiteheads
have a roundabout way of slowly .
creeping into the complexion ?
particularly if one is inclined tc
careless cleansing methods. The .
fine textured skin may appear j
marvelous for a time, then sud
denly it becomes oily. Because
* of this undue amount of oil com
ing through the pores they be
come enlarged. Such an occur
rence means stop, look and im
mediate attention if these unde
sirable skin blemishes are to be
checked at their beginning.
When enlarged pores are not
checked at once, dust and cos
metics become lodged in them,
and then, indeed, one is in seri
ous beauty trouble, which calls
for more serious thought and
more drastic corrective treat
ments.
Blackheads—so called because
of the tiny black spot which
marks the accumulation of dust
that has settled over the natural
oil and collected impurities due
to improper removal and cleans
ing—are not the simplest beauty
ill to remedy.
Whiteheads are imprisoned
blackheads, remaining white in
I color simply because a thin layer
of skin prevents the oil from
flooding ever the skin. Natu

clogging them, and in actual fact
whiteheads are the same as black
heads.
We shall come to the treatment
of these at another time, as it is
with the early stages of these ail
ments that we are concerned to
day, namely enlarged pores and
oiliness. If these troubles are cor
rected all fear of whiteheads and
blackheads is eliminated.
Jellied preparations are highly
desirable ana more particularly
by those who dislike oily or
greasy cream. Then, too, this
particular preparation which is
described below is an excel
lent after-shaving jelly, which
men think a great deal about but
hesitate to mention. Therefore I

the morning shave.
Getting down to the other uses
of this jelly, it will prove effec
tive in the correction of red and
rough skin. Despite its soothing
properties it should not be used
by those who are troubled with
unusually dry skin.
A china or glass bowl should
be used for mixing this prepara
tion. The witchhazel may be
heated in an aluminum or porce
lain sauce pan. Of course, all
utensils used in making this
formula should be well sterilized
by boiling them for five minutes
before using.
Into such a utensil place two
ounces of rose water and one
eighth of an ounce of the best
white gelatine. Allow this to
stand for several hours, then heat
gently until the gelatine has en
tirely dissolved. Into this mix
ture add two ounces of glycerine
of borax and four ounces of hot
witch hazel. Blend thoroughly
and then place in a glass jar
which also has been sterilized.
This, as all other beauty prepara
tions, should be kept covered
when not being used.
It makes no difference what
method one uses for correcting
enlarged pores, the skin must be
thoroughly (and I mean THOR
OUGHLY) cleansed. A splendid
rout:ne to follow is to hold two
or three hot compresses to the
face before cleansing, using
cream or bland soap and warm
water. Then hold two or three
more hot compresses to the face
and repeat the cleansing proc
ess. Common sense tells one
that an astringent used before
the skin has been well cleansed
only causes the pores to grarp the
imbedded impurities still firmer,
thus making their removal al
most impossible.
When you are sure that the
pores are well open and well
cleansed, just rub the jelly over
the skin. Using hot compresses
to open the pores permits the
jelly to penetrate deep into the
skin, thus correcting oiliness and
at the same time acting a3 an
astringent on muscles that have
begun to sag and become flabby.
Once or twice each day should
be sufficient to use this jelly and
.......A. I
i
it should remain on the skin for
half or three-quarters of an hour. ,
To remove it simply wash it off
with warm water and a fresh
clean wash cloth. t
To eliminate or prevent
chapped and rough skin, massage
a liberal amount of the jelly well (
into and over the affected area,
allowing it to remain on over
night. *
In cases of extreme oiliness, r
allow the jelly to remain over
night, then cleanse the skin and
apply the day’s make-up.
When purchasing the ingredi
ents for this formula I suggest
that you buy the amounts be- *
low so that all fear of getting too
much or too little of any ingre
dient will be avoided.
For your delectation I’ll repeat
the ingredients and the amounts
necessary.
Two (2) ounces of rose water.
One-eighth (H) ounce of best
gelatine.
Two (2) ounces of glycerine *
of borax.
Four (4) ounces of witch hazel.
GOOD LUCK!

EVERY smart woman counts
a few sweaters as essential
parts of her Spring and
Summer wardrobe. This year
the sweater has become more im
portant than ever, rivaling smart
silk dresses in the attention paid
to its design.
* One two-piece sweater dress of
orange jersey with crescent neck
is artfully trimmed with brown
taffeta. The skirt to match de
parts from the usual skin-tight
effect of jersey by having six
kick plaits in front, radiating
from a sunburst design. Other
smart ensembles are made of tan
jersey with a herring-bone pat
tern. One striking style has a
circular skirt and a square neck
line with a delightful bow.
Light-weight sweaters for wear
in the Summer with silk skirts
are made of zephyr and rayon.

dominate in this type of sweater,

A White Background Effectively
Trimmed in Chartreuse.
Sweaters for actual sportswear
are to be seen in the Summer
colors with clever designs intro
duced that are symbolic of the
different sports. One sweater for
golf has a beige ground and the
figure of a girl swinging clubs,
done in brown, red and orange.
A tennis sweater has a design
worked out in groups of tennis
balls in contrasting colors, with
the neck line, bottom and wrists
having a racket design.
Other sweaters for wear with
sports suits are woven like lace.
They are especially attractive.
Many of them are bloused above
the hips by means of a sports
belt. Another of a more con
servative type combines a broken
check pattern with half circles,
the bottom, neckline and wrists
being in a solid color. Sox to
match may be obtained with it
Illustrated here are two of the
most attractive sweaters of the
season. The one above has an
eggshell background with a mod
ernistic design in black and
orange. The matching scarf adds
a smart and original touch.
Below is another stunning
model, though more conservative.
This is in white lisle with its
simple design effectively outlined
in chartreuse.
BOO-BOO, BLACK SHEEP *:* y%"Zl •> By Florence Ross f
HESTER’S telephone conver
sation with Parmly Clare
mont, which terminated so
abruptly when Boo-Boo walked
into the office, convinced Boo
Boo that the girl had been lying.
As she heard her chum whisper
“They’ll suspect” into the mouth
piece, she realized anew that
Hester’s affection for Dick
Roberts was far from genuine,
and that if she cared for anyone
at all, it was for Claremont, the
flashy sales manager who had
helped them launch “The Dot
and Dash.”
Boo-Boo was enough of a psy
chologist to recognize that Clare
mont's motive in helping them
establish their little public sten
ographer’s office was not alto
gether unselfish. He had made
it plain from the day when he
had first noticed the girls on the
train coming East to New York
that he was attracted to quiet,
unassuming Hester. It was
Hester, though, who showed
openly no signs of interest in
him.
“Foxy little thing,” thought
Boo-Boo. “She knows she’d lose
* Dick if he discovered she was
going out with Claremont.”
And again Lulu had to put a
check-rein on her imagination,
for if she let it run riot it would
l
play havoc with the thought of
Dick—Dick, whom she now had
to admit she loved v.hole-heart
rdly—and hopelessly. A hundred
times a day now she battled
with herself the problem of en
lightening Dick, telling him that
he was too good for Hester, ex
plaining that the girl was cheat
ing him. And a hundred times a
day she brought her natural
loyalty into play toward the girl
who had come with her to New
York seeking success and adven
ture and who had shared her dis
appointments and happinesses.
“I suppose,” she told herself,
“that I would be satisfied with
things as they are now. Through
Peter I can meet more people in
one evening than ever came to
Danville in a year. It won’t be
so hard to forget.”
She went to dinner with Peter
Holland that evening and dis
ciplined herself into believing she
was having a good time. Peter,
proud of his “find,” liked to take
Boo-Boo to smart restaurants and
popular night clubs, where he
could be sure of an admiring
audience. He liked to be seen
with her. Broadway sophisticates
recognized at a glance that she
was a flower grown in rarer 6oil.
They were delighted with her
naivete.
After dinner Peter took Boo
Boo to the dress rehearsal of a
musical revue for which he had
written the lyrics. Only a hand
ful of people were seated in the
deserted theatre and Boo-Boo
wondered why Peter insisted on
sitting in the last row. But she
was so thrilled over the prospect
of seeing a play before its open
ing that she didn’t bother to ask.
Peter, to whom this experience
was no novelty, paid more at
tention to Boo-Boo than to the
revue. He seemed a little ner
vous.
“Stop fidgeting, Peter,” Boo
Boo reprimanded, half in earn
est, half jestingly. “I can’t keep
my mind on the stage with you
squirming and twisting like a
guilty-”
“I haven’t even tried keeping
my mind there,” he returned sud
denly. “Listen, Boo-Boo, how
much do you like me?”
Lulu turned an amused glance
at him. “You have to choose
this particular moment in whfch
to gauge my affections, I sup
pose,” she said. “Can’t you wait
until we leave the theatre?”
“I’ve waited as long as I pos
sibly can, Boo-Boo.” His face
was tense and he pressed her
hand so tightly that she winced.
Under the stress of emotion he
lapsed into the Broadway idiom.
“Listen, baby,” he cried, “I’m
wild about you. I want you—
terribly. Would you—would
you marry me?”
Boo-Boo could hardly believe
her ears. Since the day sho met
Holland, four months back, she
had placed him in a tight little
cubbyhole labeled: “Typical
Broadwayite. Amusing. Insin
cere. Fun to go places with.”
And that settled Peter Holland,
playwright and man-about-town.
But when sho listened to his
ardent pleas, when she saw his
face in the darkened theatre,
drawn with emotion, she had to
believe in the man.
“I love you terribly,” he kept
saying. “You're—you're really
different. You’re fresh and sweet
and wholesome. I’ve never met
a kid like you before. Please,
Boo-Boo—”
The girl was paying no more
attention to the play on the stago
than he was. She was touched
beyond endurance by the realiza
tion of this overwhelming love
and a tear trickled down her
cheek.
“Let’s get out of here,” she
mumbled to Peter.
They got into a taxi. Peter
gave his own address to the
driver, explaining, “You don’t
mind coming up for a few min
utes. do you? 1 must talk to you
where we can be alone.”
Th- taxi stopped before a
modest apartment house whose
foyer wa3 darkened. They stepped
into a little automatic lift and,
stopping at the third floor, let
themselves into Peter’3 small but
attractive bachelor quarters
Almost before she had taken
off her coat, Peter was holding **
her in his arms. “Darling, darling,
darling,” he kept repeating. “Tell
me you love me.” Boo-Boo said
nothing but wisely waited until
he was calmer.
“Let’s sit here on the sofa and
talk quietly,” she said. Then,
her hand in his, she told him
gently: “Peter, dear, Itn really
very fond of you. You’ve been
so sweet to me, done So many
things to make me like you, but*
—I can’t marry you. I couldn’t
marry anyone unltss I really
cared for him. Lov«d him truly.”
Peter’s fingers Iopsedfceir grip
on hers. He turned aw% for a
moment and then asked, “Do you
love anyone else, Boo-Boo?”
“Oh, I do, I do,” the girl cried,
now weeping uncontrollable.
“But it’s all so utterly hopeless.”
She reached for her handker
chief. “You see, Peter, I'm in
love with Dick Roberts. Now
you know how devoted he is to
Hester. I haven’t a chance in
the world—and I’ve really tried
hard to forget Km.”
Peter drew her head down on
his shoulder. “I understand, , m
dear,” he said slowly. “But I
want you to remember that no
matter what happens, I’ll always
be waiting for you—and hoping.
I want to do whatever I can for
you, sweet, and if you should
change your mind-”
Boo-Boo buried her head fur
ther, her little body quivering
with emotion. . "
“I’ll never forget you,” she
said simply.

Buttermilk for Freckles /
THE very best thing for
bleaching tan and light
freckles is buttermilk com
presses and clay packs. The
face should first be well cleansed
with soap and warm water, then
rinsed with cold water. The
buttermilk compresses are ap
{>lied without drying the skin. A
arge piece of cheesecloth is used
for the compress, and it should
be several thicknesses thick, yet
large enough to cover the entire
face. You’d better cut little
holes in it to accommodate the
ey?s and nose and perhaps the
mcuth.
Dip this mask in the butter*
milk and, without wringing it out.
put it over the entire face. It
should remain on for five min- f
utes, then dipped in the butter
milk, after which place it over the
face again. After four or five
application? the face should be I
rinsed again in clear water. i
The same treatment is given
the neck and arms. This is fol- i
lowed by the clay pack and your
druggist or favorite beauty salon '
will gladly recommend an effec
tive pack. %
Cover the face, neck and arms
and Jet the clay remain on for
an hour, then remove with warm
water.
A few treatments will bleach
out the skin, leaving it in •
beautifully healthy condition.
