BEAUTY CHATS BY EDNA KENT FORBES

they are spoken of in that multiple
form. 1 do not think 1t would be ad-
visable to use these on any skin that
had grown sallow after many years.
improvement of this kind should come
from building up the health, and per-
feet functionlng Of all the organs will
bring about a great change in the skin.
If you choose your neckties with an
idea for becoming colors you will not
need to think very much about the
other choices in your clothing. The
most becoming colors will be those of
your eyes, and If your eyes are light,
use that same color in much darker
Shade.
Long Eyelashes.
Almost every woman can have long
eyelashes. They need attention, just as
poor hair needs it. II your hair is thin
or weak, you get tonic, you try shing-
ling (supposing you're one of the half
dozen or SO left that haven't been
ehingled), you do something for 1t,
anyway. But most women don't even
know they have thin or poor eyelashes
or think there is nothing to be done
about it, and realize only vaguely the
value long, dark, thick eyelashes give to
the face
My prescription for long eyelashes is
simple If they are really very poor
in quality, see no harm in clipping
of the ends for a bit. In many cases
this stimulates new growth and makes
the individual hairs thicker or coarser
when they grow their length again. To
clip them use curved manicure scissor,
points away from the eyes. and snip Off
only the least bit from the ends 1t
takes perhaps a month for them to gain
their full length; think often they
will grow longer. And If this treatment
Is repeated several times, it does, IN
my opinion, increase their length and
makes them stronger.
advise only oil as a tonic, for you
cannot put stuff SO near the eyes.
Castor oil can be rubbed on the lashes,
1t makes them glossy and darkens them
and promotes their growth. After you
have powdered your face, which means
that powder has settled around the
laSheS, wet your forefinger with a drop
OF castor oil, and carefully smooth it
over the lashes. 1t makes them twice
as prominent at once, while doing them
permanent good.
AS mascara, take a teaspoonful of
white vaseline, mix enough SCOT with it
to make a thick black grease. Keep
this in tiny pot to spread along the
lashes when you want real makeup. 1t
darkens the hairs to the tips, where
the color usually does not show.
s. M. P: The thin musilage used for
setting the permanent wave after a
shampoo may be made from ounce
seed or gum trAgacanth, and neither OF
these would be harmful to the hair
After the gum has dried, comb it out
OF the hair and shake it until there Is
nothing left Of the particles.
M. ": The red spots around your
nose probably come from digestive
troubles, really from a toxic condition
caused from impurities in the system
Drink plenty Of water between meals
and take more citrus fruit with youl
! diet. such as grapefruit and oranges
The blackheads come from the same
trouble as the spots and If you get your
system cleared, and keep it so, you will
get rid of both conditions. Soften the
impacts in the pores by applying hot
! wet towels to them, battle with warn
/ water and soap, rinse in cool ano
! finally very cold water.
