My Secrets
of Charm

THE removal OF makeup re-
quires equally as much
thoroughness and under
standing as the application Of
makeup. Both application and
removal Of all cosmetics must be
intelligently directed if the skin
Is to retain its fine texture.
Just as specific movements for
facial and throat massage are
used so must the same methods
be used in the removal of make
up If the benefits derived from
corrective treatments are not to
be torn down by contradictory
treatments.
With the exception Of the arc
around the eyes, an upward and
outward movement always should
be used during the massage
treatments, when patting skin
tonics, astringents, lotions, ice,
cleansing with soap and water
and when drying the skin.
Therefore If it is sufficiently
important to stress the necessity
of the upward and outward move
ment during such identifying
routines, you can readily under
stand and appreciate the import
ance of the correct methods of
removing these same cosmetics.
Absolute and thorough cleans
ing is the basic foundation of a
lovely skin. No matter how pure
and harmless the cosmetics may
be, it is essential the pores be
free from all preparations for a
few hours each day so the skin
may breathe freely. Consequent
ly, although every skin cleansing
should be thorough, it is vitality
important that the nightly routine
be given special attention.
AS the use of cold cream often
causes mascara to get into the
eyes, it is advisable to remove
mascara first, so, rolling or rub
bling the lashes between the
thumb and forefinger, remove
any little particles of mascara
that are clinging to the lashes.
Then moisten a pad of cotton
with warm water and, closing the
eyes, pat the cotton gently over
the lashes to liquify the mascara
so that it will wipe off the lashes
easily. Two or three applications
of water may be necessary, then
saturate a wash cloth with warm
water. and. closing the lids
tightly, wipe off the eyelashes.
Such a procedure eliminates all
danger of mascara getting into
the eyes.
Before applying cold cream.
the hair should be drawn well
back off the forehead and away
from the ears, and a piece Of
bandage gauze wound around the
head, thus assuring one of COM
plete cleaning without getting
cream on stray locks Of hair.
This done, apply a generous
amount of cream to the face and
throat, then, using an upward

that, although cleansing cream
removes impurities, skin tonic or
its equivalent is necessary to re-
move the thin film of cream from
the face.
Now firmly press a towel,
which has been wrung out in hot
water, to the face and throat.
This should be followed by sat-
urating a towel in cold water
and holding to the face in the
same way. One or two hot APP
plications and five or six cold
ones are sufficient. The cold
congresses close the pores and
tighten the muscles Of the face.

Trotzky tells the bourgeoisie that
the present prop of Soviet authority
is not the workers but the officials.
"They incline to the opinion that all

denies this is an enemy in their
