BY DONNA GRACE

given along with a facial mas
sage.
In preparation for it, you
must have a granite or enamel
pan that viii hold more than q
quart. Put In a quart Of water
and place it over the fire. When
it boils dissolve a teaSpoOnful
Of boracic acid powder or crys'
tails.
Remove from the fire and add
q tablespoonful Of glycerine, 2
tablespoonfulS Of witch hazel,
tablespoonful Of cologne. 5
drops Of tincture Of benzoin and
2 ounces Of orange flower water.
Mix these all together and
then fill q pint bottle with it
and place it in the ice box.
Save the rest Of 1t in the pan
for the Steaming.
It must be ice cold before you
use it, so do not begin your ia
cial until it has had plenty Of
time to cool. You can make 1t
the day before, but keep what
is left in the pan uncovered.
Protect Hair.
Begin your facial by first
winding a narrow bandRge of
gauze about your hair next to
the face, then put on o rubber
cap. II your hair is not dressed,
you will not need the gauZe
protection: the rubber cap will
be enough.
Use your cleansing cream gen.
erouSly to cover the face and
neck. Use the palms Of your
hands to massage the chin and
neck. Then the soft part Of the
finger tips to circle around the
eyes, also circular movements
across the forehead, and the
same movements in rows up
the face.
Begin at the jaw and circle
up to the ears; then ut the jaw
line again and circle up to the
temples; then from the corners
Of the mouth to the nose, over
the lips, and then with .
smooth firm stroke (not circu-
lar) over the eyebrows from
above the nose out to the tenn
Piles. Press on the temples for
the count Of two at each stroke.
Do each Of these movements
five times. Remove the cream
and have your pan Of lotion
hot to the boiling point. Pour
it in q hot bowl, or If your
enamel pan is used just for
your cosmetics, leave the lotion
in the pan and set it on q table
which you can sit and hold
your face directly over the
steam. .
Cover your head with a heavy
towel pulled In close to the
back Of the neck and held
around the basin to keep the
steam in. Do this all quickly,
before it begins to cool and
hold the face over the basin or
pan for ten minutes.
Wipe Face Dry
Now wipe the face dry and
apply cleansing cream all over
as you did before, only not with
the same movements - Just
smooth 1t on and wipe it off
again.
, Now comes the refreshing
finish. Put a cube Of ice IN n
bowl and pour on three table
SpoonfulS of the remaining half
Of the lotion, which has been
kept cool. Have three or four
little squares Of cotton, dip
them in the lotion and bathe
the face and neck gently. Then
pat it with one of the moist
ened pads. Always include the
ears. Dry the face by using q
smooth towel in a blotting way
instead Of rubbing.
Now you are ready for your
makeup, but first look in the
mirror and marvel at how re-
freShed and lovely you are.
E. L-Repeat your question
and enclose a stamped, Self-ad-
dressed envelope for your reply.
A reader writes: "DO you ad-
ViSO . person to get y cheap
permanent wave when she can
afford to pay a better price?
Are cheap permanents good for
the hair?"
Dear Reader: You will not re-
ceive any more than you pay
for in any beauty treatment.
Some cheap permanentS are
quite satisfactory, but when one
can afford it, the higherpriced
wave may be far better than
the risk Of a hurried or even
neglected operation. Pay
enough to insure the undivided
attention Of OCe operator.
