THE girl who is quick tempered"
says an expert, must expect to have
trouble with her complexion. Some
times red spots come out prominently
and refuse to be hidden even by pow
der. Sometimes there is a flush, and
when it disappears, the skin is quite
dry and feels almost painful. The
cause of this is the excitement of get
ting angry. Very little can be done
for the skin while the temper re-
mains unchecked. Perhaps it would
be a good idea for the girl who is
worried about her poor complexion
to examine herself to find out IL a
hasty temper is the cause of the mis-
chief. Should this be so, let her set
about gaining self control before she
attempts to improve her looks by the
application of creams and lotions
