Vanishing cream used as

an oily cream as a powder basis
is, of course. unsatisfactory.
The woman who finds that face
powder initiates the pores of her
skin should use it very cautiously.
She should reserve it for occa-
sions, for a roseleaf skin is al
ways lovely even though it may
have just a suggestion of natu-
raj gloss.

provided your skin Is delicate.
merely dust your face with a fine,
pure powder. There are many
perfect face powders to be pur-
chased, but if you wish to make
your own. here is a formula for
a powder that should prove
harmless for the most sensitive
skin when used in moderation:
Powdered iris, 10 grammes, pow.
dered rice, 10 grammes: essence
Of violet. 5 drops.
Any druggist will blend this

cream basis, but always remove
it at night with pure cold cream.
In this way you may enjoy
