color in them. you won't look so very
different.
Rub them every night with castor OIL
This is very good tonic and it darkens
the hair bit, too, which is an advan-
tage. Eyebrows can be treated with
hair tonic, but never advise using any,
thing on the lashes except this oil,
which of course cannot hurt the eyes.
Some people advise vaseline; it is use
less for making the laShes grow. 1t is
mineral oil. Vegetable oilS-olive or
castor-wil do good.
You can make the lashes look thicker
by putting vaseline on them or by rub
bing them with brilliantine or oil the
very last thing after you have powdered
your face. This gives them extra gloss,
removes the powder and seems to make
them darker-just for the time. You
can use mascara at night, for special
effects, If you are clever enough to know
how to put 1t on, which most people
are not.
AS for the long lashes Of your favor
lite screen star, some of the length may
be clever makeup; most probably is, in
fact. But never mind. you can do a
little toward making your lashes long
and that little counts as lot in i'm
proving your looks.

and it will not leave your skin irritated,

Complexions.
The modern woman puts too much
stuff on her skin; her tendency is to
stick it up and make it difficult for the
pores to breathe properly. In the Winter
when the air is cold there is an even
greater tendency for the pores to clog.
In hot weather the skin is naturally
more active and throws off a super
abundance OF cosmetics.
Partly owing to the difficulty of keep
Ing the skin smooth without being
shiny, partly, also, owing to the tact
that it looks better in warm weather,
less cosmetics are used. But If the skin
| has any tendency to be dry or to
| wrinkle the best substitute for cold
cream would be olive oil or else al
| mond oil. This should be rubbed thor
oughly into the face and neck, elbows,
hands, arms, or wherever it's needed,
and, after thorough rubbing, all the
surface oil rubbed off. Then, If you are
going out, powder the skin thickly, pat
ting the powder on with swansdown
pun. Don't make any attempt to rub
! 1t on, but let it stay on and absorb
| whatever oil remains near the surface
| OF the skin. After a few minutes the
skin can be powdered a second time,
now with a velour powder puff, which
spreads the powder evenly and at the
same time takes off all surplus.
In the warm weather the complexion
VIII need more aStringents than in the
| Winter. 1t should have an ice rub nearly
every day if there is any tendency to-
ward wrinkles or coarse pores. An easy
| way to keep the skin nice is to cleanse
1t with cream or oil. Wash this off with
CASTLE soap and warm water, then rinse
the face by rubbing over it wad OF
cotton saturated with witch hazel. This
Is mild. not too drying astringent and
Is the basis of many expensive skin
freSheners incidentally, it is a mar
veiouS way to remove cold cream when
you haven't time to give the skin a
thorough Soap-and-water cleansing.
You must not let your complexion
sunburn too much; sunburn Is healthy
but like all good things it can be over
done.
G. L. A.-As you have a tendency to
grow hair, do not use the cocoa butter
on your face. Instead get the bes;
quality of almond oil and use this;
you need then have no fear whatever
A cream Is preferable to an oil because
OF other helpful ingredients in it, but
the cream should have the best oil usec
and the best of everything else Some
people prefer plain oil, and If they gel
the results they wish there is nothine
against using it,
