Flour Sifter Your flour sifter will stay clean and unrusted longer if you’ll keep it, when not being used, inside an old cast-off pot or in a large paper bag. ■memos* By: Cassandra (Cassie) Strickler Don’t think that cold cream is a modern beauty aid; it was known to. the. early Romans. Cleansing creams are those used to remove makeup and have a high mineral oil base. Vanishing creams use less grease and thus tend to melt much faster. Cold creams being much heavier must be massaged in. Creams with a lanolin base are a good bet as this additive is much like the oils in the skin and has qualities of absorption. A good bet — in fact, your best bet—for most any beauty attention is CASSANDRA’S HOUSE OF STYLE. Hair styling in particular is a specialty. Trained operators and (stylists, the eoual of any for many miles around, are read v to serve vou at CASSANDRA'S HOUSE OF STYLE. 215 So. 3rd St, Phone 34714. THIS WEEK’S HELPFUL HINT: Occasionally when brushing teeth, substitute com-, mon table salt or sodium perborate for your favorite toothpaste. Good gum stimulators.
