WAYS OF FIGHTING FRECKLES

Thfey Can Be Done Away With If One Wirt Only Go About It in Right Manner. It is generally known that freckles are divided into two classes, those which are constitutional, fading as eoollng weather approaches and coming into full glory again In the spring and those that come in the spring and disappear entirely in the winter. Both checked when preventive and corrective measures aTe taken before the action of the sun on the skin has fall sway. Simply powdering the skin is not sufficient when going outdoors. It is necessary that the exposed parts be thoroughly massaged with a good cold cream, then dusted with rice powder, which serves as a mask and does not allow the sun’s rays to penetrate Os freely. A greaseless cream or a tonic astringent may be substituted in place of the cream, which should contain one or more bleaching agents to act on general principles. Going into the sunshine wearing a nmnii hat (many of them are brimless this year) certainly encourages freckles. Protect the face by wearing a larger bat and a chiffon veil or by carrying a parasol. All these adjuncts are usually becoming this season, so there is no objection to their employment. Light freckles are frequently con-

quered and dark, large onea considerably bleached by the application of lemon juice directly to the akin when it does not proyp too irritating and adding a little alcohol when it does. Where freckles are thickly distributed use a little camel’s hairbrush to apply the Juice directly to them, allowing it to dry on, to be removed after an hour’s time or longer. When the skin will permit it, take a slice of lemon and apply to the spots, taking care that none reaches the eyes or hair. A formula that agrees with moat skins contains rosewater and glycerin, with enough lemon Juice to make it desirable. A simple remedy for freckles that tones the skin as well contains two parts of lemon Juice and one of Jamaica rum. Apply with absorbent cotton.
