against the weather.
Every season makes it's contribu-
ton to beauty, and takes its toll as
we'll, unless we guard against it.
Take, for instance, this season of
ice and snow that Is settling down
upon us. 1t can mean cold feet,
chapped hands, a nutmeg complex
ion and the notified color effect SO
appropriate for the sausage and so
disadvantageous to any woman
younger than 100-or it can mean
bright eyes, hair that is alive and
lustrous, a complexion that won't
rub off and a vitality that is posi-
lively compelling.
It's all up to the individual
To- whether she makes Jack Frost her
beauty agent or her arch foe.
Beauty Standards Change
: While 1t isn't so fashionable to
spend the winer in the North, 1t is
a very wise course from the point
Of view Of health and beauty.
You must, of course, realize that
standards of beauty change with the
season. Your winter ideal is stur-
der, more colorful, and more alive.
So, leading up to this subject Of
beauty at zero, let us begin with
externals. You can't be beautiful if
you look frozen to death. You must
suggest a warmth and comfort that
defles the thermometer. Contradic-
tons and paradoxes always attract.
So provide yourself with sufficient
protection from the cold. No, red
dannels are not suggested. With
our modern system Of ventilation,
silk undies and silk underwear are
quite adequate.
Warm Outer Garments
But your outer garments must be
warm. Your coat, whether Of fur or
wool. must be wind-proof, and SO
that you can be comfortable on the
coolest day. Whereas in some cases
when comfort and style clash, the
first essential of the winter coat
4 should be warmth and protection,
and that godgets and gadgets should
get second consideration.
The prejudice against the galosh
has changed to a whole-hearted APP
prevail. 1t is no longer considered
smart to go about with wet shoes
and mud-stained stockings, whereas
1t is definitely swagger to appear in
arctics.
If your leg cannot stand the ga
losh-well, it should be reduced until
it can.
Wool Stockings
Wool stockings are purely up to
you and your conscience. Those thin
layers of wool that may be worn I'M
der the silk stockings on very chilly
days seem to offer very comfort
able substitute.
So the first beauty hint is to pro-
vide yourself with adequate protec-
ton from the weather, so that you
can get out in it and enjoy skating,
skiing, tobogganing and all the win
ter sports. Winter is a great season
if you attack it right.
The next important consideration
is your diet. 1t takes considerable
more bodily energy to keep the body
going in December than it does in
July. You need more substantial
food. The tendency is to eat too
much meat, potatoes, bread and
sweets, and to neglect the vegetables,
salads and fruits you so eagerly or
dered in the summer.
\ Don't Forget Exercise
However, vegetables and fruit are
just as necessary to your bodily
health. So begin your day with
orange juice, grapefruit, stewed
prunes or any fruit that is your
particular delight, and don't consider
that ham and eggs are adequate
without IL.
For luncheon and for dinner, don't
forget the excellent vitamine con-
tent of carrots, turnips, cabbages
and squashes and the cheaper vege-
tables, when such dollhouse delica-
cies as lettuce, cucumbers and to-
matoes become as high-priced as
= caviar.
OF course you must sell yourself
z on the idea that the whole secret
