ACCORDING TO
 MADAME ISE'BELL The Successful Business Woman Must Be We'll Groomed, But Has No Time for Morning Prinking
How to Systematize the Toilet

So often women write me that they haven't the time for facial massage, physical culture or the daily care nec- 'essary to keep a woman we'll and in the pink of perfection. I would like to tell such women what some of my pupils accomplish under the strain and stress or a. business or professional life, of women successful in business, who keep old age at bay because they believe that to do SO is distinct business asset.
 The sWcessful business woman is apt to be early at her desk she has no time Tor morning prinking. As one young woman puts it: "I am practically dressed for the day before l go to bed at night" To do this the evening toilet must be an elaborate one, but, if it is systematized and everything is at hand, It need not take over an hour. This may seem considerable to the young office girl who comes in late from a party with only few hours beauty sleep between her and the alarm clocks in- sistent ringing, but as the years go by she will realize that the time is well spent and regret that she did not begin sooner. An older woman should sup plement this care with weekly visit to good beauty parlor, one week for a shampoo and scalp massage, facial massage and manicure the following week, and so on.
 The Night Toilet
 The busy woman should take her warm cleansing bath at night. Before getting into the tub, however, she l should let down her hair, brush it thoroughly and pin it lightly so as to escape the water. She should clean her face and neck thoroughly with a good cleansing nd thor, siderable amount of massage cream which she leaves on the face during the bath.
 The soapy bath, according to my be- lief, should not touch the face; the nails of the toes and hands and knees and elbows should be well scrubbed with a flesh brush, the skin well washed and afterwards we'll rinsed with clean water by means of a bath spray Sweet smelling talcum powder IS always pleasant after a warm bath, but the skin should be well dried be- | fore the powder is applied. There is
 no advantage, healthful or beautifying
 in staying in the hot, soapy water and 1 bathing and drying should not occupy
 more than 10 minutes.
 l The heat of the bath has started a
 mild precipitation on the scalp and face give the scalp five minutes massage
 and roll the hair over kid rollers for
 the night and conceal their unsightli- ness by lace cap. The massage cream
 that has been on the face is now large ly absorbed by the skin so few min-
 utes' facial massage can be done in
 the nose effective manner. The nails
 softened by the bath. need only little care with the nail stick and polisher for nails well manicured once a week need only a little regular treatment | If artificial hair is worn, this is the time to brush and prepare it for the
 morning. If there are any changes tc be made in the dress, stitch to take a fresh collar to be added, do it now
 Lay out the clean clothes and put the
 soiled ones in the laundry basket; the | few extra minutes this will take arc largely mado up for by the restfulness of going to bed in a tidy room and the
 consciousness that there need be nc
 rush or disturbance in the morning Surely, order Is not only the expression
 of a we'll balanced mind, but won- derful aid to achievement.
