than counteracted by the vigorous rub
bling in of handfuls of cold cream
which is used in taking that makeup
off after the performance
First of all, the actress chooses her
cream with the utmost care. She never
pays less than so or 60 cents for a
small box and 50 for a large box Of
1t, and she considers the money well
spent. A cheap cream merely roughens
and Injuries the skin, while a smooth,
fine cream feeds the pores. Some of
the delicate yellow creams are better
than the white ones. A standard make
is always better than an unknown
quantity. Once she has discovered
what cream she likes the best she
sticks to that alone, and ceases trying
new connections on her delicate face.
She is no more sparing in the feed
ing of her face, than she would be in
feeding a pet house cat. She never
goes out without rubbing 1t with
touch of cold cream before busting on
the powder. In summer this prevents
tan and in winter it prevents chapping.
She always rubs the cream in thor
oughly, then wipes it off with a very
soft cloth and dusts on a fine, we'll
made powder. If it is a windy day
she ties chiffon veil over her face,
and if the sun is hot she always car
ries her parasol. She drinks plenty of
water, too, and not so much tea as
the society woman, and she seldom
bothers with the beauty specialists.
Most women reverse the order of
things. They take too much water on
the outside and too little internally.
1t is by doing things the other way
about that every actress, from chorus
girl to star, can almost invariably
boast of good complexion.
Another thing that few girls in pri-
waite life understand is how to put on
corset properly. You can take a fig
ure and S9-cent corset and make
1t look like a figure in made-to-order
stays by putting the corset on proper
ly. In the first place the corset should
always be two sizes too small. The
shop girl will Invariably tell you to
get corset the exact number of your
waist measure. AS a matter of fact if
you have a twenty-inch waist you
should buy an eighteen-inch corset.
Pull it in as tightly as you can en-
dure 1t at the waist line and let it
spread out fan-shape above. Be sure
to give your lungs and chest plenty
of room, and you can do the most
cruel things to your waist without in
Juring or mountaineering yourself.
plenty
of scope for this, and by putting it on
properly you attain that curve under
the arm to the waistline which consti-
tutes good figure.
still another point which the nice
nome girl does not understand, al
though she seems to be learning some
thing about it of late, is the value of
the veil. You seldom see an actress
in public without veil of some kind
over her face. 1t is always perfectly
fresh; for she buys yelling by the
piece, not the yard, and she would
as soon go with a soiled face as a
soiled veil. Nothing is so unbecomins
TO woman as veil just a wee bit
mussed and dingy.
The actress studies herself, too, and
discovers first what sort of face veil
ing Is most suitable to her complexion.
If she has sparkling black eyes and
rosy cheeks she knows that she can
wear a black veil, heavily dotted. and
that the dots will bring out the bril-
liancy of her coloring. But if she is
pale or dingy she chooses chiffon or
plain tulle yelling of pure white. This
rreshens her skin and softens it. What
ever her coloring, her veil always en-
hances the beauty of it and gives it an
Elusive brilliancy."
