IRECE1VH es many letters asking me for creams That will not cause hair to grow upon the face that I think It will be quite worth while to take it up as a general question. Doesn't It seers reasonable that if ordi- nary cream would cause hale to grow where ne hair le intended to be. bald-headed men and women would ac- quire heavy heads of hair by merely applying a little cream? It is said by skin specialists that no cream ever made would cause hair to grow. Any frequently applied friction may stimulate the skin to 'such an extent that a small funs wilt start to grow. This Is the same way If you rub any part of the body. The hair will grow to protect the skin from Irritation. It seems very unllkely. however, that even If the cream !a used every night it will cause any annoying growth of hair. I should like very much to hear what my renders think on this subject. for I would like to collect a few personal experiences. tri• -1 -1 -M -1.1.4.4 -•1 -•1 -1 -•I -•i -t)•+ i-,-i-g 4 •1 FZLSh iOfl f• Hints. tM• t i 1 i l l l l t t 1 1••I-1-1 iii+I FADS AND F:1NC1E:A.
