Beauty
Selecting New
Cosmetics
BY DONNA GRACE

There is an irresistible charm
about new beauty products that
only the strong-minded or indif-
ferent woman can resist.
The attractive display on any
toilet-goods counter is usually
all we need, but after hearing a
few remarks from the clever
sales person as she tells her at.
tentive audience the great
merits of this or that product,
we are in line! We may think
we are very alert to the last
word in beauty secrets (what-
ever that ISL, but more often
it is that we are merely hypno-
tiled into a jolly buying spree.
1t is a good thing for us too,
even if we do occasionally make
a bad selection. There is also a
chance that we will find some
marvellous thing and at any
rate after a few of these per-
formances we become quite dis
eliminating. We may have
learned just the products that
suit us best, and if we will only
continue to use them, our hap
hazard buying was not really an
extravaganza.
With so much reliable in
formation available, there is no
need to accumulate a lot Of
cosmetics that are of no use to
us. Nearly all the first class
manufacturers can be relied
upon to tell just what each pro-
duct will do for one. 1t is true
they may be more optimistic
than we are about results. How
ever, their information enables
us to make a good selection
once we know how to classify
our own type of skin.
Women with dry skin should
not use a strong aStringent-
even a mild one may be irritat-
ing to a very sensitive skin.
Such a skin should be washed

casionally-once week will dc.
It should be washed with a gen.
erous application of soap and

Immediately, and for the rest Of
the week use only a cleansing
cream and no water. Any oily
texture of cleansing cream is
used.
Never use a vanishing or dry
ing cream on a sensitive skin.
A mild astringent can be made
of one ounce of boracic acid
solution and two ounces Of rose
water. Add a few drops of oil
of rosemary. if you like a per-
fume.
When you have a nice selec-
ton on hand, the important
thing is to know how to use it
correctly. If you do not know
the facial massage movements,
it is far better to just pat on the
creams and remove them with a
tissue. Unprofessional strokes
will stretch and drag the mus
cles, so have your instructions
ready before you do any of
these treatments.

All Hand Done

The wool is separated into it's
natural colors, and if other tones
are desired, they make their
own dye in huge kettles. from
herbs and seaweed. The wool
is spun on old-fashioned spin
ming wheels, and is woven into
cloth on a two-bar loom. This is
said to be only one stage ad-
vanced over the kind used in the
Neolithic age.
A great deal of the work is
done by women, and as it is all
by hand. the result is a very su-
perior material, soft and rough,
and different from any other
cloth in the world.

You and the groom sit at one

At the other end of the table

is not living. If your sister is
to be hostess, the priest would
be seated at her right, and the
groom's father at her left.
Your father would sit be-
tween these two groups; at his
right is seated the groom's
mother, who is the woman guest
of honor, and on his left would
be the groom's sister, who
would be given the second place

In five minutes. 0.0028 MILL

ligrams; in four hours, O.OOO3
miligramS; in six hours, O.0O02
millgramS.
For those who believe that
bad breath comes from the
stomach, the following expert
ment should be convincing to
the contrary: when the garlic
was chopped up, put in gela-
tin capsules and swallowed. no
odor whatever was detected on
the breath during the next "a
hours.
"The only exception occurred
when during the first three
hours after eating the garlic,
the subject belched: only mo-
mentarily then was the breath
rendered foul by the Odor from
the stomach"
The conclusion seems certain
that bad breath in most cases
comes from particles left in the
mouth cavity-in teeth or on
tongue. This is further proved
because the odor of onion or
garlic can be removed by the
use of chloramine. Chloramine
is a standard product which
any drug store should supply.
After the mouth has been
rinsed, the teeth brushed and
the tongue scrubbed with So
luton made by dissolving five
grains of chloramine in a quar-
ter of a glass of water, no odor
of garlic could be detected on
the breath. Nor could any gar
lie oil be found on chemical
analysis, which proves that the
chloramine does not simply
make the odor, but actually de-
Stroys the oil.

Handy Aibis

In simple language, an inferl-
ority complex is a feeling that
you can't quite make the grade.
And making the grade, my
dear sir, is up to you! If you
fail to arrive, it's not because Of
something your mother or father
did to you when you were little,
or that your teacher singled you
out when she was in her least
amiable mood, or that the girl
you liked would never dance
with you in dancing school. It's
so convenient to have these
alibis, but really, they don't
excuse failure.
Courage and initiative are
the death of the inferiority
complex, and these things are
achieved by grit: by the ability
to take it on the chin. and not
ascribe your failure to anyone
else, even to the little gold
digger who left you flat for the
man who had more money.
The difference between sue.
cess and failure has been
"doped out" to be about 2 per
cent. If the failure would
have exerted himself only 2
per cent more, very likely he
would have achieved success.
Unfortunately many of us have
a way Of lying down in our
tracks on the last lap of the
journey.
Courage and initiative are
never spontaneous. They must
be achieved at the expense of
struggle and self-discipline. But
it's so much easier to say that
someone hung an inferiority
complex on us. and let it go
at that, even when, as in the
case of this correspondent. the
gold-digger's turning him down
is undoubtedly a blessing in
disguise.

Lady Luck was with him when
that girl told him not to come
back. But courage is never easy
to acquire.
It's so much easier to hang
back and pass the buck on to
someone else, instead of rolling
up our sleeves and personally
tackling the job.

really been a racket. Millions Of

RATHER READ A MAGAZINE

Dear Miss Fairfax:
1T seemed to be love at first

year ago. By nature I'm q
very affectionate person, and
like to show those 1 love tho
way I feel.
However, HE seems to be
exactly the opposite, and APP
pears to get more enjoyment
out of reading a newspaper,
magazine or anything to read,
than giving a kiss or careSs
to me.
"Please understand I do not
expect him to make love to
me the entire evening, but If
he cares as much as he says
he does. why doesn't he show
it. instead Of reading all the
time?
Il am no schoolgirl in the
throes of her first love. I'm

To me this reading habit is
the beginning of the end.

If you object to this young
mans reading so continually,
isn't it just as we'll you have
discovered this before you have
said the fateful words in mar

dicted to reading during court
ship, will probably read more
and harder after marriage.
