YOUR BEAUTY
HOW no KEEP YOUR LIS NATURALLY RED

Try the regime I have just
suggested for a month. If at the
end of that time your lips are
still pallid, then. my dear, You
should consult your physician,
for you may need his help.
All these suggestions should
also tend to keep your lips nor
mally moist and smooth.
The habit of biting the HIPS
will, of course, make them rough
and dry. This unlovely man
nerism is a symptom OF nervous
uneasiness. The way to overcome
it is to watch yourself and keep
your thoughts calm.
Some women naturally have a
thin skin, and this applies to the
lips as well as to the complexion.
Such lips seem to grow rough
and dry very easily.
There are lotions to be had that
are soothing and smoothing to dry
lips. Any cold cream will help
them except such drying creams
as lemon or peroxide.
Here Is an excellent pomade for
dry lips. You can make it at home
easily:

Very gladly I am writing the
article-in the hope that not only
my correspondent but other
women az well may find in 1t
some helpful suggestion.
The normal color OF the lips
IL rose-red, but not too deep a
red. Your lips should be the color
Of your gums or just one shade
deeper. provided your gums are
healthy. The lips in perfect
health are about three shades
lighter than arterial blood.
One reason many women look
obviously ulade-up is because
they choose a lip rouge that in
too dark to be natural or beeom-
ing.
However, the perfect healthy
woman has lips just the shade
that is loveliest for her type and
coloring, for Nature ts artful and
never uses O wrong tint.
There Is just one way to mako
the color Of your lips beautiful.
and that is. to keep your health
good.
Be sure to sleep enough. A
good nights rest will often deepen
the color Of the lips several
shades.
Eat simple. nourishing food at
regular hours. Take time to eat
slowly and enjoy your meals.
Once a day or even five times
week is often enough to eat meat.
But eat plenty of fresh vege-
tables and fruit and eggs, and
drink freely of water. Milk is
also a. fine food for you.
Walk every day in the fresh
air-that is, every day when you
are your normal self. There
may come a day now and then
when complete rest will more
perfectly meet your need. But as
q rule to walk in all kinds of
weather every day should give
your lips a beautiful rosy red
