NV ELL. Deary Dear. Heiene's'
IVY sister left for home today
and once again we're with
out visitors. II won't be for long
though, because we always have an
epidemic Of guests at this time-old
school friends who come to buy
clothes. girls who make u town a
stopping-off place on their way to
Europe. and various odd people who
get the urge to travel at this sea-
son Of the year.
And / want to tell you that
changed woman! She came here as
the most unenthusiastic, critical
creature in the world. and returned
to her home town just as sweet and
docile as a lamb. Since she hadn't
been here in so long q time, we, of
course. thought it would be easy to
entertain her. There's SO much to
see and so much to do. But she
thought she had { be the dignified
big sister. The first thing she got
any kick out Of at all was Madame's
shop. She came down there, ] think.
all ready to tell us what a terrible
place we worked in, and how much
better off we'd be IL we came home.
But one look at the clothes and she
forgot she was ~anyone's good influ-
ence. She went off into a long rave.
purchased a dress. and began to
look at life through r~ose-colored
glasses. Clothes can certainly change
q woman,
From that moment on there was
no holding her. She wanted to do
everything and see everything.
The day Of her departure she came
down to the shop to say goodbye
to US, and while there selected an
other dress. She'll probably be poor
for months, but she said it'll be
worth the kick she gets out OF it.
The model she chose was stunning
and she'll probably be the envy OF
her town. 1t Is an ensemble of
printed flat crepe. The predominant |

The reason for this is because dry skin is caused
by inactive oil ducts and glands which do not supply
the skin with sufficient natural oils. Therefore this
deficiency must be met by the lavish use of rich oils
and creams.
II soap and water is preferred for cleansing pur-
poses, be sure that a weak or bland soap and warm.
not hot, water is used. These two points in the daily
cleansing routine must be observed. The use Of hot
water and strong soaps on the skin tend to deplete an
already insufficient supply of oil.
Mineral oil, oil of sweet almonds or liberal appli-
cation OF nouriShing cream should be used for the
cleansing, or Immediately after soap and water has
been used. Such oils or creams should remain on the
skin for a few minutes, then removed with a piece of
fresh gauze or cleansing tissue. IN cases Of extreme
drynSs. and especially if lines have already made their
appearance, a generous covering of oils or creams
should be Smoothed on the skin and permitted to re-
