REQUISITES FOR A
SMOOTH COMPLEXION
0i5yysS Wa sEszE:E ~:

Absolute cleanliness is the first
requisite OF q smooth, bcautftuI
complexion.
Whether you use a cleansing
cream in conjunction with tonic
or prefer plain soap and water fol-
lowed by nourishing cream or a
lotion depends on your Own tndi-
vidual taste. The important thing
Is that you do use some method OF
cleansing which actually purgcs
the pores of oil impurities.
A twice a day cleaning ordinar-
lily will suffice u you live In the
country far from street dust and
coal SCOT. But the woman WHO
lives and works In a city cannot
She should take time at noon to
freshen up her skin.
II you work In an Office, why
not have on. hand all the cosmetic
aids which you need for a nice lit
tic cleanup facial? Perhaps q
small box with separate compart-
ments should be kept In one side
Of q drawer in your desk. The box
should contain your favOrite
cleansing preparations - either
cleansing cream Or cake Of bland
soap. Include .the tonics or To-
lions which follow the cleansing.
Don't forget about o foundation
base and some rouge, powder and
1ipstick. It's better to apply loose
powder with cotton pads than
cake powder from your vanity
case.
Most really fastidious girls like
to keep a mouth wash in the Of.

rince your mouth and gargle after

To-day I have another subject

latest for Halloween, came away
with one impression. Our costume

Instead Of accounting the joyous,

this year devised more vicious Wis
