The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1911-12-23

Many woman looks ugly in her I,
given too little time to the grooming |
of her body. She must attend to that
before all else, and even if she has !
no time for a daily care of her per !
son two hours spent in getting the
body in trim will do wonders for the
becomingness of the party dress that
is only occasionally put on.
1t goes without saying that the
most charming get-up will fail in en-
tire becomingness if one be worn to
the bone with physical fatigue before
putting on the toilet, and as fatigue
is something of a poison TO the sys.
I tenn. and is not easily overcome in a
short time, one should rest up good
deal the day before the party. This
I stores up the energy that will be need
, ed at the function and besides, gives
, the face the composed, amiable look it
should have. The rest also preserves
enthusiasm for the coming entertain
-
, pleasure is quite as necessary for
i, good looks as anything else. In fact,
enthusiasm is part of physical fitness.
/. The day before the function, what
ever it is, try and meet life easily. Do
only things that are absolutely requir-
ed of you to do, and leave undone all
those that can be put off until an
4 other day Strive to get a good nights
o sleep, taking some little laxative if it
4 should be necessary. The next morn
>. ing take a seidlitz powder or a tea
, spoonful of phosphate of soda in
glass of hot water one hour before
;, breakfast This will tighten the spir-
r. it's and improve the complexion.
-. A gentle laxative is made as fol-
>, lows:
- Cream of tartar .......11 grains
- Powdered SIENNA pods ~ 2 drains
Powdered aniseed .. dram
Powdered fennel ..... dram
10 Powdered liquorice root. 21a drains
Sugar ..............1 ounce
= Mix thoroughly and take a dessert
=, spoonful at night.
- During the forenoon of the impor-
tant day also, take life as easily as is
i, possible, and, when three o'clock
comes proceed with the business of
body identifying. There must be a
-, special bath, little time spent with
hair brushing and some minutes given
-. to the beauty of the hands and the
comfort of the feet.
49, The reviving influences of the warm
bath are well known, but the exact
-, temperature of the water must be de.
cided by the bather; also the length
of time she should stay in the bath
ii For weak persons a short bath is
80 preferable to long one, with the wa
~ ter no more than tepid Those with
80 any skin eruptiOns should also be
careful not to use salt in the water
-, or soap on the face during this tub
80 as these will be added annoyances ia
the skin trouble. But if there is III
cutaneous disorder a bland soap will
= be very improving to looks, as soap il
required for absolute cleanliness. Wet
the body first all over, then soap il
and rinse off with water gradually
: chilled until cold. If a low-neck gOwr
- is to be worn, spray the neck ant
, shoulders with water as cold as car
~ be borne for three minutes or more
and on getting out of the tub rub the
parts briskly. A complete rub WITH
alcohol or bay rum after this batf
-. would lessen the possibility of takine
49,, cold in the thin, low frock
-, There are number of special baths
which are Immediately identifying t.
NJ the skin, these softening and bleach
II" ing it and imparting a delicate fra
10 GRANGE. A quarter of pound of iris
e root and pound of oatmeal, the two
g. mixed together and put in a cheese
!" cloth bag will make the cheapest o
~ these. The bag is dropped in the batl
% water and there agitated until the
as tub has milky appearance.
vs. After the bath, while the skin il
eS still warm, bleach the throat by rub
Is bling it with raw cucumber, lemon
49, juice, or peroxide, and If the hand!
iiu are at all disfgured with houseworl
or neglect give them the same treat

OF throat working it well into the ski
wy and giving a little extra attention t
ali the double chin or the hollows behint
the ears. Then rub the hands ant
u.s. arms with a solution of glycerin an,
IS rosewater and leave the unguents t,
gh dry into the skin. Why this loca

tie a rather mean air when barred TO
