The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1909-12-09

Glycerine ........ one-ha ounce
The acid and the borax must be dis
solved in the hot water, and the gly-
cerine mixed in later. The decoction
then stands for II hours and is then
strained through cheesecloth. This
bleach must be wiped over the tnroas
night and morning with a soft cloth
and be allowed to dry on.
With the identifying process, too mo-
girl can hope for qNck results if she
continues to wear her collars sufrocar-
ingly tight and high. The throat must
be left entirely unconfined at home at
if it is exercised from five to ten
minutes day. This is done by bend
ing the head backward and forward
and from side to side with rhythmic
slowness, increasing the depth of each
bend each time if possible until the
throat seems as Lliable as an elastic
band Counting one, two three, four,
ETC., is a great help for the rhythmic
order Of the movements.
Finally. let me tell you that Wien
the council arrives for putting on the
pretty low neck evening dress, Warm
throat bath is very essential. This
softens the skin, which dries ana
hardens SO easily, and pumps the
tissues. 1t gives in short, that we'll
washed look a throat must have to
be pretty.
Like the throat, the hands respond
beautifully to scientific baths, mas
sage and oil rubs. Warm water must
always be used for these, and though
the nails may be treated to creams
and vaselines, which make their tex
ture more pink, glycerine ana rose
water is about the best lubricant to
put upon the hands. Where household
work is done, however, it is sometimes
necessary to use quantities fcream
the bath, and for this any almond
cream, or even pure almond OIL, is ex-
cellent. Incidentally, 1 must tell you
that if the hands are first given a
good coating of some good com pleXion
unguent, they may be immersed in
the greasiest water without injury. i
After the cleansing bath, which may
be accomplished with almond meal,
or a good soap, the hands must be
carefully dried with a soft towel for
the least dampness that is left to dry
in Injuries the texture of the skin. At
the beauty parlors the drying of the
finger is done from the tip down to
the base, the priestess of the rite CIV
ing a little pinch to the point of each
finger as a last move. This is sup
posed to encourage pointed finger
tips, and. of course, the nails are
pared almond shape to help out the
look
AS to manicuring the nails, since
most girls are acquainted with the
various little instruments used, will
only say that the cuticle is not al
ways pushed away nowadays, and
that it is thought exceedingly vulgar to
tint the nails too deep pink. Keeping
the hands free from CRIME, oiling the
nails at night and then wearing old
white kid gloves, will do more for the
prettiness of the finger nails than any
art.
Arms which have lost their pretti- |
ness should come in for especially |
careful treatment, regular massage
for the bulges Of the arms that are too |
fat, and skin foods for the ones tina.
are too lean-Which is to say, gentle
rubbings with olive or almond oil. !
Athletic girls who have taken an un-
of muscle need to let
their arms lie fallow for some time, |
as you might say, for the pretty arm i
is the one that does not look too |
hard worked, and for pointed, pimply |
and discolored elbows, many soaks in
water softened with borax, and oil
packs, fastened on at night with !
bandages, are very corrective.
The elbow pack is made with u wad
of colt IN drenched with oil or cream,
which helps to soften and smooth out !
the rumpled skin and make the elbow !
plumper. The citric bleach may also :
be used with advantage here, and, in
deed upon all parts Of the hands ana
arms.
On the night Of the dance itself, a !
liquid white is this best cosmetic that
can be used upon the hands, neck and |
arms. 1t sticks and gives natural |
look, while powder rubs off and seems |
always unnatural.
If there is any down upon the arms |
it may be made invisible, or at least |
