TO LOOK COOL AFTER A
ROUND OF WEARY SHOPPING

II You come IN after a long round Of
shopping and receive q sudden summons
to the drawing-room to meet some unex-
pected guest. do not be dismayed at the
crimson face which meets your eye as you
STAND before your dressing table mirror.
Likewise do not seek remedy in the bath
room. Many women think the only way
to cool of is to battle tie face lavishly in
cold water. This is a great mistake, and,
with thin skim. will only intensity the
color.
Dash the water on throat and neck as
freely a. you choose. particularly at the
back OF the neck: but II the face is bathed
at al. let II be done sparingly: then sponge
It with Florida water. and, lastly, apply a
generous coating Of rice powder. You will
look ghast1y. but lot the powder remain
while you ada the few necessary touches to
your toilet. Then. just as you are to de-
scend. dust on all superduous powder light
