How to Make Beauty ParlOr of
Your Kitchen
BY Mrs. Christine Frederic
NEW YORK. - Among monu.
ments erected to soldiers, states
men and those who have given dis
tinguished service to their coun-
try, fail to find any statue to the
individuals who originated a FAC
ial." And yet L truly believe that
keeping women beautiful and in
good health deserves as much
honor as many another act of
patriotism Here's to the beauty
parlor: Long may she prosper!
But aside from the various kinds
Of rubs, scrubs, treatments, hot
and cold packs and face lifting"
which the women of today may Sc
cure in every block, I would speak
Of certain beauty savers which she
may adopt in her own kitchen.
First, do you use high stool to
sit down on while ironing, pairing
vegetables, or washing dishes? Do
you? Nothing so fatigues the body
as long continued standing, espe-
cially if done in a poor posture.
The weight on the organs may be
quite considerable and result in
various weaknesses. Yet numbers of
women persist in refusing to sit
down at home occupations. 1 wish
they could visit up-to-date factories
or plants employing women, where
the greatest skill is taken to design
seats or chairs adjusted to the COM
fort of the worker while she packs
crackers, bottles catsup or binds
books.
Do you know that you, too, can
have a swinging seat fastened to
the leg of your sink, or your kitch-
en- table, at any height you prefer?
Again, do you have easy running
rollers on every piece of furniture
requiring to be moved? Why push
and shove and strain when any
heavy article can be mounted on
swivel casters or pushed on a con-
veniept hand truck? Have 1 not
seen women lift overloaded baskets
with heavy wet laundry from place
to place when they could so easily
have wheeled the basket or pushed
it on the kind of small rolling cart
used to move ash cans?
The housekeeper should better I'M
derstand the wonderful principle of
the mechanical lever-the applica,
ton of force at exactly the right
point. You recall it was Archimedes
who said: Give me a lever and l
Will move the world" So, too, many
of the large, heavy pieces which
the housekeeper sill persists in NOV
ln:; or lifting or carrying by hand
at considerable strain to herself
could be moved with much less eff
fort if she would apply the lever
prir. ciple. Easy, smooth running
casters on the bed, the bureau, the
table the washing machine viii!
mean less fatigue and more beauty.
You still persist in clutching a
bunch of rags in the hand itself
VITA which to dust, but you can
mount those rags or bunch of
string on a handle-the lever-and
remove the dust more effectively
and at a great deal less strain to
your fingers, your wrist, or your
arm.
Much unnecessary effort is usual.
ly given to the frequent task of
holding a bowl in place while beat.
ing eggs, or straining the hand to
hold a can, while it is being opened.
And yet, of course, you know VIC
have many kinds of egg beaters
which clamp to the table, choppers
which may be rigid during use, and
can openers which also clamp firm
ly in place so that we do not have
to stretch our finger muscles and
make our hands heavy and clumsy
while doing these simple things.
