purpose remains q secret.
Four Glasses
Face creams are divided into
four major classes. There are
cleansing creams, lubricating
creams, base creams, and "cold"
creams. The first three serve
distinct purposes and the fourth
Is a combination cleansing and
nourishing cream.
Some women refer to every
type of cream as "cold" cream
which is, Of course, mistake.
Nor is it enough to specify
"face cream" in seeking to sup
ply her skin needs.
The mission Of cleansing
cream is precisely what the
name implies. It is a liquifying
type, usually transparent and
soft in consistency, has a low
melting point and in coming in
contact with the skin melts to
an oil which seeps into the pores
and fluSheS out dust, CRIME, and
makeup.
Distinct Purposes
Lubricating cream Is heavier
and richer and contains oils,
lanolin, cocoa butter or similar
ingredients that counteract thA
drying effects of exposure;
Soothes and heals painfully
chapped skins, and nourishes
the underfed epidermiS.
Creams used for a powder
base are usually light and fluffy.
A little goes a long way. 1t is
a mistake to apply a lot of it.
Used sparingly and blended
quickly, it makes a smooth and
flattening base for the applica.
tion of powder.
Cold cream is rather solid
looking, non-transparent and
white. AS a rule cold creams
do not melt when applied to the
skin, but retain color and con.
SiStency.
These may be applied to the
skin, removed with a thin tissue
to act as a cleansing agent and
then q fresh lot applied to re-
main on the skin for the nour.

Beauty Queries

EYEWASH

Question: have very large
brown eyes, and I want to keep
them clear and lovely. I've
heard that eyewashes help to
keep the eyes clear and bright,
and would be grateful If you'd
tell me Of some homemade eye
wash that I could use. E.R.
Acknowledgements do indeed
help to keep the eyes clear and
sparkling. They remove any
accumulated particles of dust
and CRIME that may make the
eyes Llflamed and bloodshot,
and at the same time they
Soothe the eyes. A boric-acid
solution is most commonly adj
viSed for eyewaShes. One tea
spoon Of the boric acid should
be dissolved in a glass of tepid,

wash that is safe is boiled water
to which slight bit of salt has
been added. The plain water
tends to cause a smarting that
salt allays. It has the same
effect as tears, the natural eye
wash.

It is true that all mothers are
not able to nurse their babies,
even when they would gladly do
so, but cases in which maternal
nursing is actually impossible,
at least for a few weeks, are rare.
Less Trouble
There are only q few good
reasons for not nursing an in
FAINT under 6 months old. Chief
among them are tuberculosis
and the beginning Of another
pregnancy.
The mothers milk helps the
baby in the complicated and
difficult task Of growing, and it
also makes the baby more resis-
tant to infection and contagion.
Besides, although many moth
erS will not believe this, it is
also much less trouble than bot
tie feeding.
To make the bottle safe re-
quireS constant vigilance. Pre-
pairing the formula takes time.
And when, as is often the case,
the baby does not take readily
to the substitute, it is sometimes
months before the exact formula
suited to his particular needs is
discovered.
In the meantime his growth
has been retarded and the

She Is in Love
With OIder
Man
BY Beatrice Fairfax

Years No Bar 70 Happy Love
When the Man Is the Older
"Is my love a hopeless one?"
Gerda K has written to ask
me.
And my answer is: IT de-
voutly hope that it Is not.
Nor do I see any reason why
it should be-"
Gerda is 10. "Some people,"
she modestly admits, consider
her pretty, and her photo
graphs support this view. She
is intelligent, too, and capable.
But her embarrassment has
= been that she is out Of step
with her generation. We have
all known girls like that.
Boys Of her own age don't
feel at ease with her, nor
does she with them. She has
grown up too fast, or she is
thoughtful, or too shy. But
she is a girl Of deep feeling,
nevertheless, and she has
proved it by falling in love-
deeply, overwhelmingly in love.
Shall I quote from her letter?
Her Ideal
"The man I'm in love WITH"
' she writes me, "seems to be
about perfect. In looks and
character he is my ideal.
Every little thing he does is
the action Of a prince.
But he Is 36 years old and I
an afraid he considers me a
child. He is q family friend,
and I have grown gradually to
love him. He comes very often
to our house and we take walks
together. But not a word Of
love does he speak, though I
know he likes me.
Meanwhile, I am terrified
lest I betray myself. Every day
I love him more. Must I eter-
nally keep it secret, or is there
some way that I could let him
know?
II believe q marriage would
be perfectly suitable, If he could
only see me as I am"
No Drawback
Here's a situation, you see,
that must be delicatelyShandled.
There's no reason in the world,
proba bly,. why these two
shouldn't marry and be deli
ciouSly happy ever afterwards.
The difference in age Is no
drawback. Such marriages often
seem the happiest Of any.
I have proposed that Gerda
confide in her mother or father
whatever one is more SYM
pathetic and understanding.
This parent could then sound
out the possible bridegroom.
It seems pretty clear that
Gerda can't secure her fairy
prince unless someone helps
her. But it must be no clumsy
Intermediary.
arranged"
We can only hope that this
fascinating family friend is al
ready more in love with Gerda
than he himself suspects, and
that he will respond readily to
an adroit suggestion. And, from
my point of view, he couldn't
do better than to make this
charming, tender, sensitive,
whole-hearted young girl his
wife.
So I hope shortly to hear that
the parents have conducted
themselves as European parents
would. and that, as they put it
in the older countries, mar
riage has been arranged"
Whereupon, I shall promptly
offer my blessing.
