Tit above is one OF a series OF re-
Guests made on the same subject, so 1
wiIl-to the best of my ability-advlse
what to do, says Anne R~ittenhouse, IN
the T,hiladelphia Press
The authorities on perfecting the color
and texture Of the flesh think massage
infinitely better han cream, when the
latter makes hair grow on the face
Massage should be done with cream,
but the ointment should be at once wiped
off. Many women find the plan OF SOAK
ing the skin in cream raises a soft down
all over the face, which in a brunette IS
most unattractire.
No woman can tell what cream VIII 90
until she gives it a fair trial, but cocoa
butter can be used more luxuriousiy man
any other ointment. If a woman nnds
the cream is causing down to appear she
should immediately drop it and use mas
sage and electricity.
The two combined are the best expert
ment I know in developing the face ana
throat.
AS for the first, it should be done care
fully and with knowledge. RUBBING the
wrong way is almost as Injurious as no
rubbing.
Thu face should always be rubbed up
ward and out, the lines of the mouth
rubbed erosswise and the forehead rub
bee up and across both.
Vigorous movements should be applled
to the creases between the eyes and the
burrows in front of the ears. but sort
movements used entirely for the cheeks
and throat.
Don't tell me about massage; l am
too fat, said a woman weighing over loV
pounds. She evidently doesn't know tnat
massage is as excellent a thing for the
fat as the slim; its aim is to develop
the muscles, and such development
brings any one into the perfect proper
condition.
An athlete whose muscles are in per-
feet condition never has a pound OF hesn
foo much or too little on him; so a wom-
an who uses massage after the correct
method gets her figure into the proper
weight.
Electricity is really the fine thing to
amply after massage. 1t gives all the
splendid exercise and developes tnein
most gracefully.
Small batteries stored for home use
can be gotten By the woman who IS NOT
near enough to a specialist to have the
fluid applied scientifically.
r have known a woman put her race
into charming plump condition by a
month of massage with cream, followed
by massage with electrical spongess
More than this, the treatment took
avav all the lines about eyes and mouth
and the dark creases under the chlh
where linen collars had done their WORK
For the woman who has worked over
this Identifying problem and the woman
who hasn't, advise massage, deiicate
but.regular. every day.
No woman can avoid the fact OF the
tremendous value of a fresh, strong race
without lines.
n Is part Of her sphere, as a woman,
to see to it thai the lines do not ao-
pear.
