hour and a half to get ready to 60 to bed.
II she be pretty girl an extra half hour can
be added.
1t takes an English woman or . French
woman only half as long. She simply
rolls In. But the pretty and up-to-date
American girl first goes through with her
beauty preparations. and 30 elaborate
are they that an hour and another hour
are consumed before she realizes 1t.
Getting ready to 60 to bed Is an impor-
tant matter with the professional beauty,
for she realizes that her good looks for the
next day depend upon the precautions
she takes the night before. Unless she
wants to arise haggard and looking as II
she had slept aboard a sleeping car. she
will prepare herself with care before she
lays herself down to peaceful slumber.
Better stay awake all night than 90 to
bed unprepared for Sleep Ia the motto
OF one professional beauty, q woman who
dazzles Newport every season and Ii
familiar feature Of the Horse Show and the
grand opera.
Her notes Of preparation are many ana
very deliberately followed.
She begins by taking on her makeup.
This, in her case 3for she In young and
beautiful. consists merely Of wiping of
little powder from her face and neck.
But abe takes the powder on with the oil
OF sweet almonds, which Is pure and
agrees with her skin. She pours q little
OF the oil in saucer, and, then, with little
plug OF cotton, she goes over her face,
washing on the powder with the oil.
She goes over her neck, and her arms,
too, for in evening dress one must he care
full Of ones neck and arms And only
when all IL removed In the way Of dust
does she turn her attention to her regular
bath.
There are few fashionable women, and
few professional beauties, who do not take
hot bath at night There is something
about It that acts a. . restorative to every
tissue Of the body. something about II that
seems to build up and give back the lustre
which has been lost in the fatigue OF the
day.
The hot bath wards OF colds by start
ing ND the circulation; IL rests the tired
muscles: II cures rheumatism; 1t makes
the back feel comfortable again. and II
induces sleep.
But the greatest quality Of the hot bath
at night, from the standpoint Of the beauty
seeker, il the way 1t acts upon the COM
plexion. The hot bath opens the pores
Of the skin, and such impurities az there are
pass Of through the open pores. II the
complexion Of the face be poor the hot bath
will remedy this condition.
A certain professional beauty makes it
| a point to scrub her skin until she feels
| as though she had Redeemed the flesh.
| She does this with he sh scrubbing brush.
As soon as she feels herself In q glow she
calls the bath done.
The care OF the face. which includes the
care OF the neck and arms, differs little
| from the care Of the body. You can not
scrub the skin on your checks without
| suffering for 1t; and you cannot ply the
face scrubblng brush upon your neck
without feeling 1t the next day. Caution.
n GOOD rubber sponge. or the sponge OF
commerce, good cake Of soap and little
intelligence will get the face clean.
The face after II has been cleansed. a
process which should follow the regular
bath. should he washed In q basin OF hot
water made milky with fragrant benzoin.
And, when the pores have all been nicely
closed for the night, the woman can sink
to restful sleep.
But II the skin be in bad condition, II
there he wrinkles coming. IL the parentheses
have formed around the nose, and If there
are crows feet around the eyes then there
must be Ave minutes Of intelligent massage
for the face, and for this there must be used
a little wrinkle cream.
A number OF wrinkle creams have been
given, but, when all is told, there Is moth
ing better than pure olive oil. II this
does not seem to agree with your skin.
~ Il makes IL too oily. II the skin seems dark
under it's influence. then take OF pure NUT
ton tallow half a cup, add to IL half cup
Of the oil OF sweet almonds and TO this add
4 few drops OF violet and. IL you can get Il.
a clover leaf or two. Heat all together.
lift out the clover leaves. let IL settle and
pour into nice little porcelain lined jar.
wrinkle cream should not be much
thicker than sweet cream m. Almond oil
can be added to make the cream OF the right
Then, too. there IL difference in skins.
One skin requires that which another skin
| does not need.
