I periods Of rest and outdoor play,
soon brought the color into the
dimpled but sallow cheeks. And
because of the twinkle in his eye
and his quick tongue, Danny soon
became the favorite both among his
playfellows and the adults in
charge.
One day during the MONDAY din

the task Of showing a mound Of
vegetables on TO his already over
flowing fork. The dinlng-room at
tendant watched him with a smile.

Danny turned his head and look

color. often circles beneath the
eyes may be made less noticeable by
applying the rouge high and work
ing it out TO the temple.
Powder your neck, and II you are
to wear a sleeveless frock, your arms
as well as your face. Be sure that
you apply powder before arranging
your hair so that you come to the
hair line with the powder.
After powdering. one may rouge
the lips. The rouge should be APP
piled carefully in the center Of the
upper and lower lips. and worked
out to the edges following the
natural line Of the lips and being
careful not TO go beyond and accent
uate the size. Often one may seem
to make the lips narrower and more
delicate by careful rouging.
Apply the rouge with the tip Of
the little finger, rubbing up and
down, not across with the lips in
their natural position, not stretched
taut
Eyebrow Tinting
II the eyebrows are thin, they may
be improved by delicate tinting with
an eyebrow pencil. Carefully brush
the eyebrows to remove any sugges-
ton Of powder, and to give the
glossy, we'll groomed look.
The fad OF plucking the eyebrows
is a reprehensible one since It de-
stroys the character and gives an
unnatural look. though there are
exceptions to this rule.
A common mistake in making up
Is the overpowdering OF the nose,
which makes It too prominent, and
the obvious makeup of the eye
which gives an artificial and some
times dissipated appearance.
Remember this: woman who Is
obviously made UP always looks
older than a woman who looks nat
lral. II you use makeup, study
your own type and accentuate your
own points of beauty don't try to-
follow someone else.

she had lost all character by max

spots of color on each cheek. She
had blackened her already heavy

they were painfully artificial look

and black marks below her eyes that

Her mouth was roughed to look
twice its natural size with a lip
stick that did not match the rouge
she had used. or did not match the
natural colorings Of her own face.
Makeup Ruined All.
In these days nearly every wo-
man makes up more or less, but the
clever ones do not compete with
nature, they cooperate. Makeup will
accentuate your good points or your
bad ones. according to the way you
apply It.
