Fair Skin

Treatment
Nourishing Gre a m S
Aid in Preserving
Firmness.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

COVINGTON. KY, was the birth
~ place Of Una Merkel cher real
name, by the way). And there you
have the reason for her delightful and
pronounced accent 1t isn't definitely
Southern-but so unique and utterly
charming that. the memory Of it
fingers.
Hers is the type Of beauty that re-
quires infinite care: Light hair, fair,
fragile skin. The type of loveliness
that fades early Cf it is permitted to-,
but wise women who know how to
preserve it become the toast of their
set
Let us see what Una Merkel does
to keep lovely. Light hair Clike light
clothes) soils quickly, needs frequent
washing. Weekly shampoos with
pure CASTLE soap and between sham
poos a cleansing solvent, and night
and morning brushing with several
hair brushes alternating them). That
is her hair-cleanSing program.
And for her skin? Nourishing cream
nightly. 1t keeps the lines and wrinkles
at bay. and preserves the firmneSs Of
the underlying tissues. Fair skin is as
rule dry, delicate and fragile, the
type that wrinkles prematurely, and
this type needs rich. soothing emol-
lient cream. So Una Merkel's beauty
routine is right.
In the morning she washes her face
yfyifh alEirn -
She doesn't approve of using ice di-
rectly on the face, but wants the tim
Cling, stimulating benefit nevertheless,
and daShing Ice water on the skin
closes the pores and keeps the skin
active at the same time. Incidentally
many beauty authorities disapprove
using ice directly on the skin. 1 feel
that the shock may be too great, but
if the ice is wrapped in thin linen or
gauze and applied bit gently at first,
then more quickly, the skin will soon
become acustomed to it and react
favorably.
Miss Merkel scores on another beauty
count. Her favorite beauty s=c1et is:
Keep hands young, white, <oft and
smooth. She uses a SIZE nail brush
several times daily to scrub hands and
nails. This keeps the nail tips white
without artificial means, and Softens
the cuticle, too. She rubs sliced Gu
cumbers on the hands to keep them
white and very often uses them on her
face, too. Cucumber juice, you know,
is bleaching agent.
She believes naturalness is an ad-
mirable beauty asset. and-would you
believe that any one in the land of
makeup would use only little powder
light shade) no rouge, and a little
light lpstick! Even for evening a
wee bit of black mascara and eyebrow
pencil are added-but ever so lightly.
Even when entertaining, the attitude
of 'naturalness" enters. She loves to
entertain informally with barbecues.
Her theory is that beauty in itself may
leave only a fleeting, temporary i'm
preston, but backed by ''naturalness"
it commands a lasting impression.
Something worth pondering upon,
don't you think?

&TESSIE has invited me to her
~ party, mother, I must go. Can't II"
"What's wrong? You must go. and
can you go. Sounds as though there
was something in the way OF this
party. What is it?"
"It has to be on Wednesday night
and you never let me go out on school
nights. But just this once ] can go,
can't -"
"Why on a Wednesday night?"
Because that is the only night
Jessie can have the rooms. The 9TH
er nights are out"
"I am sorry, but you cannot go to
a party on Wednesday night. 1t
would interfere with your school work.
And your Sleep"
"I just knew you would say that.
I never can have any fun. Every
other mother in town will say, yes.
Only you don't want your child to
have any fun. I think it's mean.
How do you expect me to feel like
working when I never have any fun?"
I'm sorry you feel like that and
sorrier to hear you talk to me like
that. I hoped you understood that
wanted only what was best for you
always. Let's not talk about it any
more"
"I never have any fun like other
girls" Ten tears and sobs and a
closing door.
Dear, dear, why did the party
have to come on a Wednesday night
of all nights? Plumb in the middle
of the week. 1t interrupts class work,
interrupts the routine habits Of the
youngsters, spoils the whole week and
upsetS the household. I can't be the
only one who objects, but if am I
can't help it." Mother sighed wear
lily. TT is hard work to rear child
in opposition to the neighborhood
opinion"
The telephone rang, and Mrs. Holly
said, Are you going to allow June
to go to the party Wednesday night?
No? I'm SO glad. Then won't
allow Prissy to go, either. Right
in the middle of school week. I'm
so glad. Thanks for standing by
me-" The word was passed along
and before long there were several who
said, "Awfully sorry, Jessie, but my
mother simply won't hear of a party
midweek. It's out" That group
was joined by others and Jessie with
drew the invitations and set a date
ahead and for a Friday evening.
Mother didn't know that the date
fell on Wednesday. Friday is the
only possible evening for us" said
she most graciously.
Children need fun. Parties are good
for them. But they also need regu-
larity in their habits. Their sleep
should not be broken. Their school
week ought to be steady and con-
tinuous round without interruptions,
such as parties, movies and dates.
Once the school idea is pushed aside
for pleasure it is not easy to replace
1t again in good working order.
A week end treat comes after a
completed span of work. That adds
to the flavor of the fun. There is
nothing like work we'll done to give
heart to pleasure party. Let them
come at the close of school, not in
the working week.

Market Tips
BY LUCE EBERLY.

THERE is perhaps no other time OF
year when we should be more
appreciative of our local stores and
markets! Plan to take trip to these
food shopping centers" this week end
and order everything needed for the
Christmas dinner at one time. The
orders may be delivered either Mon
day or Tuesday, just as you wish, and
there will be no hectic rush on Christ
mas eve, when you should be filling
the stockings or trimming the tree in
peace and contentmentl
4 X 4
VOU will find exquisite mistletoe
and large holly wreaths. beautiful,
symetrical trees-all kinds of gay
potted plants, and red Winter and
turkey berries for the table center
piece. Cut flowers for the house or
gifts may be had, too. So after you
have shopped around for the goose
or turkey, place your order for
wreaths and trees, and have them de-
livered to you. Large branches Of
bittersweet and full punches of deep
green laurel to decorate the house
may be found at the stalls on the
outside of the markets.
BREAKFAST on Christmas morning
should by all means be a festive
one! Give the family a real treat
serve sone of the breakfast delicacies
that you generally don't have time to
prepare. Good old country sausage
or Philadelphia scrapple with steam
ing hot buttered hominy-or some of
those delectable Newfoundland smoked
kippers and tiny French fried shoe
string potatoesl If you want to have
a genuine European breakfast, serve
a rich rabbit stew and hot rolls or
biscuits.
FRUIT for the fruit bowl. Tanger-
ines are fine now; oranges, too,
large and juicy, from Florida, and the
navel variety from California. These
are excellent for "ambrosia." Florida
and Texas grapefruit; all types of eat
ing apples, large, red and luscious;
table pears, too. Bananas, red and
yellow, are in their prime just now, as
are the tiny white seedless grapes.
Mammoth red Strawberries with vivid
green leaves and stem, from Florida.
Serve them in the English manner
whole and uncapped on lettuce leaves
with powdered sugar. They are deli
cious and colorful this way.

T ONG ISLAND DUCK, large goose
- and freshly killed turkey, huge
capon and fowl, large SQUAD and rab-
bits-any of these will be found at
the meat and poultry stalls, and what
could make better piece de resist

fresh ham, you will still be having q
grand treat. Prime roast Of beef with

TN SPEAKING OF a young couple
who had just got married with
nothing to live on and no i'm
L mediate prospects of even having
bread and cheese, a boy said to me:
Don't blame Tom. Blame Sally.
She is the one who did it. In all of
these reckless marriages it's the girls
who put them across. The boys
aren't in any hurry to marry. They
are willing to wait until they can
afford wife. but the girls are just
oent on getting married, and they
cajole and plead and urge a chap
along until they get him to the altar
against his better Judgment, though
why they do it, goodness only knows.
For it can't be any more fun to them
to starve than it is for a man"
This young mans diagnosis of the
situation is confirmed by the hun
dreds of letters that I get from boys
who have been put on the hot spot
by the girls with whom they are in
love and who are determined to marry
them forthwith, whether or no. Many
Of these lads are boys in their teens
still in high school. They know they
are too young to marry. They don't
want to marry and they are scared
to death of what papa and mamma
will say if they bring home wives for
them to support.
Others are young men who are just
entering college or starting profess
sions who are being badgered by their
sweeties to throw away their chances
Of an education and give up their pro-
fessions and get any kind of job so
they can move up the wedding day.

no SAVE little time, energy and
money to spend on yourself the
last days before Christmas, so that you
can entirely erase those signs of ia
tigue and neglect that have accumu-
lated during more or less hectic shop
ping days, and make yourself radiant
and lovely for your family and friends.
Your hair. your face, your fingernails
all need attention, and if you will allow
yourself the bodily relaxation and
soothing effect of special bath oils, and
perhaps even tonic vapor bath such
as we described recently in this COL
umn, you will enjoy your Christmas
to the full, in the midst of admiring
glances from all those you love best.
So we strongly advocate immediate
appointments with the various per-
sons concerned, and it is along this
line that we wish to give you some
tips in the event that you are looking
for any kind of service.
WHETHER to have your facial be-
fore your shampoo and wave or
after it is always a debatable prob
lem. If you have it first you feel that
the heat from the dryer might coun-
teract some of the muscle lifting and
Tightening effects, and yet If you have
your shampoo first you run the chance
of disarranging your curls. We have
asked one of the leading shops on the
general Identification of women for an
answer to this question and they ad-
wise having your shampoo and wave
first. Then while your hair is still in
the net. but quite dry, it may be care
fully covered with a towel and you
are ready for your facial.
This same authority, who is respon-
sible for making many of Washing
tons lovely women still lovelier, gives
in his salon two kinds of facials, spon-
sored by two of the outstanding women
cosmeticians whose preparations are
known in all the large cities of the
world. You would be assured of sue
cess with either one of these, but If
your skin is very thin and delicate, they
would probably suggest the facial that
molds stimulating cream into the skin,
while if your skin is of heavier texture,
the facial that involves brisk patting
to bring up the circulation would be
recommended. Both use special tie
up for relaxed chin and throat mus
cles.
We know of another shop which
gives excellent facials by means of the
electrical violet ray. An electric cur
rent is passed into the body from a
pad which is connected with a large
battery. After the face has been
cleansed and covered with a nourish-
ing cream, it is given violet ray
treatment, followed by brisk patting
along the line from the chin to ear
and other strategic points. This is a
muscle-lifting process without ban
daging, as the muscles are stimulated
and nodded by electricity. The circu-

smooth and slim, the frock is cut
with ample fullness for the most ac-
tive indoor pursuits! And it is quite
nice enough to wear when the morn
ing work is over, and your dearest
friend drops in for a cup of tea.
There is wide round collar, and
scallops where the buttons fasten the
front of the blouse. You may have
either long sleeves or short ones, for
the pattern includes both.
Highly mercerized cambrics are new
in the cotton fabrics. They launder
well and have a good deal of style
appeal. New and lovely colors are
featured in cotton stuffs, hemlock
green, turquoise, rust, wine. red, and
gray are shades that the woman
who is as particular about her in
door clothes as she is about street
things will welcome. They are a
little different from the usual "house-
dressy" colors, and nice for that
reason. Cotton broadcloth is an
other fabric which has much to
recommend it, and it comes in a
wide range OF colors. Percales, lawns,
gtnghams. and the humble calicoS
have all become glorified since cot
tons have become so popular, and
they all wear and wear. as you know.
