Beauty Queries

Enlarged Pores

ENLARGED FOFeS
Question: l have enlarged
pores on the nose, chin, and
partly on the cheeks. 1 cleanse
my face every night with a
cleansing cream. I even rub
ice on my face to close pores.
Would you please advise me
what to use and how / can

possible. Thanking you in ad-
vance, Mrs. G. E.
Answer: If your pores have
not become greatly enlarged,
an excellent home treatment
follows: Add u teaspoonful of
sal soda to u gallon of dis
titled water. Heat to the
boiling point. Apply and
steam face with hot towels.
Follow with the application Of

wonder if you could suggest
routine for me to fOllOw.-Miss
M. L.
Answer: am not printing all
of your letter, as you see. From
the description of your skin and
diet, I should say that you
might include a few more oily
foods. You apparently are starv-
ing your skin for these natural
oils. Wash the blackheads out
with a blackhead soap that is
gritty, or have them squeezed
out by an operator. Don't at
tempt to do it yourself. Once
you have cleared your skin OF
them, you will find that wash
ing with a gritty soap about
once a week will keep them
cleared. Cleanse your skin thor
oughly each morning and eve
ming with a cleansing cream or
complexion soap and use plenty
of nourishing cream. In the
morning you might pat on the
slightest possible amount OF
nourishing cream as a powder
base. You can leave on gen
erous amount all night as we'll.
This, plus putting a few of the
oils back into your diet, should
make your skin smooth and soft.
I might suggest, also, bracing
lotion or mild stimulant used
between the creams in the night
treatment.
Brittle Nails
Q.-What treatment can you
recommend for dry, and brittle
nails. Mine break off con-
stantIy and spoil all my
manicures. A. S.
A.-MaSSage bit Of warmed
olive oil into the base of each
of your nails nightly before re-
tiring. This will help to
remedy their dry, brittle con-
dition.

Not In Good Taste
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
/. I have been married for
four years and have been liv-
ing with my mother-in-law. I
am going housekeeping soon,
and she wants to have a
shower for me. Is this proper?
If so, kindly write an invita-
ton that is appropriate.
2. Many of my friends have
given me wedding presents.
and 1 would like to know if it
would be proper to invite
them and display the presents?
ANN.
/. wish that l could tell
you that 1 am enthusiastic
about this plan, for I am
sure that is what you would
like to have me say. But it
does seem very forced to me,
a party with the one idea of
gift-bringing, and I don't think
that il would be in good taste.
However, of course the final
decision about this sort of
thing rests with those most
concerned.
2. To my taste, the best
and most gracious thing for
you to do would be to wait
until you are really settled in
your new home, with the we'd
ding presents arranged there
as you would use them. and
then invite 1our friends to
"housewarming" In this way
the presents would be delight.

high-spirited class, you won't

You've done nothing to this boy
and he's quit you cold, tells your
friends he has another girl. Is it
possible you may nave shown
him too plainly how deeply you
were interested? This often
frightens them away.
On the other hand, you might
call him up and ask WHY?
If you're very miserable, it will,
at least, clear up the situation.
But if you do this and he turns
you down, you must take it as

Correct Manners
By Cornelius Beeckman

House Warming Gift
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
/. Will you kindly tell me
whether it is a form of etiquette
to present to a bride, when
entering her home for the first
time, and after wedding gift
has been given, a houSe-Warm-
ing gift. If so, what is the
nature of the gift?
2. When an engagement has
been broken and gifts previous
ly presented to the future bride,
are the gifts returned to the
donors. S.
l. This kind of gift wouldn't
be at all taken for granted, nor
would it be necessary. But if
you are close friend of the
couple, it certainly would be
a gracious thing to do, especially
since you apparently very much
wish to do it
The gift might be just a
trifle Of some sort, but it would
mean a charming bow to the
new home. 1t should be some
thing for the new home &.
a vase. for instance, or a set
of tea napkins or the linen
tea set, or a bridge cloth, or
some serving piece for the
table, or a cigarette box and
aSh-trayS.
2. Yes. this should always
be done. And it is very much
better for the girl if she does
this, not only because it is the
well-bred thing to do, but it is
far better for her feelings not
to have these symbolic things
about her.

There is a small shop up on
Connecticut Avenue where I
discovered nine different shades
of face powder. And they may
be blended to make 80 different
shades. Surely from among
that range of color you can
find one to suit your complex

woman with white hair should

For a blonde, there is a very

Blends
And for the brunette with
dark skin there is a combina-
ton of shades-ochre and
very pale orchid. A brunette
with fair skin is supposed to
choose a deep pink powder,
mixed with dead white and a
light ochre-three combinations.
These are all perfect for eve
ming and it is such fun to have
them mixed just to suit your
self.

Falls In Love frequently
Dear Miss Fairfax:
During the past winter I
met a girl who was employed
with me in the same office.
She had a magnetic person
ality and I fell much in love
with her. Slow to respond, she
was, 1 know, of a steadier
type than I. I am distinctly
susceptible, falling for every
good-looking Girl I meet.
Later this girl was laid off,
and she went back to her
home in distant State. The
usual thing happened. I fell
just as much in love with the
next girl who came along. The
first girl continues to write,
although I don't answer half
her letters. She seems to be-
lieve in my fidelity implicitly,
when I no longer care for her.
Should I tell her I no longer
care? Sometimes I think I
should marry her; she is so
fine and loyal.
fine and loyal. MORGAN.
And what kind of a husband
do you think you'd make,
when you tell me you fall for
every pretty girl you meet?
No, indeed, my dear man,
you shouldn't marry her
Write to the girl and tell her
you were mistaken in your
feelings for her. Sensible men
and women don't marry peo-
pie they do not love, unless
they're mercenary and marry
for worldly considerations. I'm
sorry for the girl, but I don't
believe you could make her
happy.
