BEAUTY TIPS FOR
SCHOOL GIRLS

The young girls who are going away
to school-and the young girls VINO are
going to hunt and fill their first JOB
are looking about for ways to make
themselves prettier-and more attrac-
tive.
The first essential OF all beauty Is
neatness-exQuisite neatness and clean
Illness of person and clothes.
The daily bath is absolutely neces-
sary to the girl who longs ror clear
fresh complexion which needs no cos
metics.
Young girls have little need for the
massage creams of older women, but
even girls need a good cleansing cream
to take out dust, and to warn away
chaps.
Girls with oily skin should use daily.

lowing lotion: Five and one-haf ounces
of rose water one-half ounce of alco-
hol, and one-half dram Of boric acid.
A saturated solution OF boric acid
used night and morning with an eye
cup. will keep the eyes bright and
rested and the lids in healthy condition.
A very little vaseline rubbed into lashes
and brows will make them grow.
The neat. well-groomed school or
eyes, buttons and snappers are always
in place on her belts and biouses and
packets so that her clothes never cape
or sag unbecomingly.
Shoes, too. well-polished, and with
straight heels and neat laces mark the
well-groomed girl. and so do the white
shoes kept absolutely clean. Shoe trees
for each pair owned is an excellent in
vestment. They cost little, and save
time and money keeping the shoes in
good condition.
No business girl should attempt to
wear wash shirtwaist more than one
day-unless she is extremely neat and
careful about her clothes. Looking
capable and prosperous invites real
prosperity and the world respects the
person who respects herself enough to
be clean and neat.
Remember to use one OF the many
toilet preparations designed to prevent
excessive perspiration and Its odors.
Use little perfume, Perfect cleanliness
is the sweetest fragrance.
Keep the hair clean and shining by
frequent shampoos and nightly brush
ings.
