Most Skin Disfigurations Require Medical Treatment
Many women write me about Such patches should be kept cover-

If they are not too prominent of a magic formula which will make do not even attempt to cover them. them go away! How I wish

I have! for any of these ailments, and the been told that there are six kinds best I can do is to advise victims of warts, each demanding a differ- to seek the expert advice of a re-ent treatment. So it is foolish for liable physician or a skin specialist, a woman to try to remove a wart with one or another of the patent MOLES

LIVER SPOTS
News to me, and perhaps to you, liver spots have nothing to do with WHITE SPOTS ON SKIN the state of your liver!. They may White spots are the exact oppo-be any colour from beige to a dark site of freckles. Patches of white appear on the skin, and are more noticeable in summer because they do not tan with the rest of the skin.

brown, and they may be the size of a freckle or as large as a quarter. Some appear suddenly. Others grow gradually.. And, odd as it may seem, brunettes usually have more liver spots than blonds!
If several liver spots appear you should have a physical examination. Sometimes it is only local irritation which causes them, or certain chemicals in the cosmetics you use. If they come from sunning yourself you might dab them with lotion Calomine which you may purchase in a drug store.
BIRTHMARKS
The most practical way, and safe, to remove birthmarks (if they must be removed) is by electrolysis. It is serious business to fool with them yourself. There are several suggestions available on how to treat them at home but I would rather you did not treat them at all, than to fuss with them yourself. Dangerous skin diseasES result from home treatment.

Juice-over
Slip this apron on over your frock, and no spatters of salad oil or whipped cream can stain it. It conpetently protects both the skirt and the bodice. Also, you'll notice that this design is cut with a shal-' low, square neckline and wide shoul- der straps that will never annoying- ly slip off when both hands are busy, Besides, it's a pretty thing in it- self, and brightly becoming, with its flared skirt, tiny waist, little cres- cent pockets and touches of braid or binding. This design also is per- forated for a frill-trimmed tie- around. Make your aprons of ging- ham, percale, linen or batiste and
put some away ter occasional gifts, too.
·SAVING THE FLOWERS
Artificial ́flowers on a dance frock easily get crushed by one's coat or wrap. To prevent this, sew the halves of two or three press-studs on to the flowers, and the other halves to your frock. Carry the flowers and attack them on your arrival.
