BY ETHEL RosEMoN

to work. Use a rotary motion for
the checks always, with the down
stroke very gentle, and draw the fin
ger tips firmly across the wrinkles
at the corners of the mouth and eyes
and on the forehead. Under the chin
the stroke must be firm and strong.
| going upward towards the ears in
order to keep the flesh from gather
ing beneath the chin point.
At the end of fifteen minutes mas
saying remove all the cold cream
with soft rag and then dash cold
water to which few drops of toilet
benzoin have been added. in order to
| tighten and harden the skin that has
become soft from rubbing.
| 1t is well to remember that cheeks,
chin, nose and temples require the
rotary motion, which is merely rub
bling in circular fashion, making the
upward sweep harder than the down
ward. The forehead should be
smoothed, il, it is lined; otherwise it.,
too, will take the rotary treatment
About the nose the rubbing is done up
and down, working into a rotary
motion with the tips of two fingers
when the region about the eye is
reached.
1t is well to begin massage with
the cheeks, starting with a small
circle, that is increased to extend over
the entire face. During this process
the thumbs may be placed under the
jawbones, working up with a rotary
motion until the position under the
eye is reached. when only two fingers
are required. Continuing, the temples
should be reached next From there
work on the chin, and then rub hard
and always up along the jawbones
and under them to the ears.
Cleanse the face thoroughly every
night. but do not massage more than
twice month or once a week at the
most
And now for the hair, that crown
of glory, which nowadays is often
such a little tiny crown that we must
attach place card to 1t In order that
it may be rightly named. Here, too,
massage plays such a stellar role. I
am inclined to believe that IL every

were to massage his scalp thoroughly
every night and every morning the
tonic kings would be forced to give
up their stately mansions. The glow
that one feels after the head has been
thoroughly massaged cries so loudly
for repetition that 1t is a wonder
We do not all heed the call.
Do you know the proper way to
massage the head? Place the fingers
firmly at the sides of the head and
then bend the knuckles SO that the
/ fingers remain stationary, but the
scalp moves beneath them. The first
time you go to the hairdresser for a
treatment she will probably exclaim !:
"Ah. how tight your scalp Is"
This isn't a stock remark of her
i profession. Prove 1t. The first time
you try to massage you will find that
you can scarcely make the scalp
move. Each time 1t will become q
trifie easier until after few weeks
it will be delightfully."- loose. When
this state is reached you will be sure
that the skin is not adhering to the
head and thus preventing the glands
to give forth the supply of oil that
is food to. the roots of the hair.
| Fifteen minutes of this massage
every night and morning will give
the hair new life Tonics are excel
lent things. but only when properly
massaged into the scalp. II the hair
is dry supply oil by applying a prep
aration containing vaseline or crude
oil. If. on the other hand, the glands
are enlarged and pour forth too
large supply of the oil use a tonic
containing generous amount of eau
de quinine.
Keep your brushes, combs and hair
pins just as clean as you do any
article of your apparel. 1t is far
from beneficial to leave your comb
and brush out on the dresser all day
where they can collect the dust and
germs from the air and transmit
them to your scalp. The brush and
comb that are for use and not simply
for show should have box in the
top drawer where they won't hear the
call of the dust.
After each massage brush the hair
thoroughly. giving it hundred
! strokes. For q half hour each day
take out the hairpins and let your
hair float over your shoulders. The
scalp needs the air and the sunshine
in order to attain perfect health.
+. Remember when applying a tonic
of any kind to put 1t directly on the
scalp and not let 1t waste its sweet
ness on the desert (h) abr.
And next summer. readers. will find
you ready for the fray with strong
hearts and beautiful faces.
