Beauty
Lovely Hands
and Arms
By DONNA GRACE

Along with our general
beauty repair we will do we'll
to favor the arms with some
attention. We may belong to
that class of girls who would
not think Of exposing the arms
and hands to the drying effects
of the sun and wind.
If we have been so careful as
this, there will be no need for
any special treatments, but
arms and hands have been per.
mitted to tan and show the re-
suit of long hours of outdoors
sports will surely require a
good course of reconditioning if
they are to be attractive for
the formal social occasions of
the coming season.
The treatment should in
clude a certain amount of fric.
ton to loosen the dry, chiffon
outer skin which is shedding
constantly then plenty of
exercise and lubricating mas
sages. Rough elbows will re-
spond satisfactorily to soap and
water scrubbing, followed by
soothing applications of cream.
A luffa Cor luffah) a coarse,
vegetable sponge is just the
thing for this kind of friction.
It becomes soft and pliable
when wet, but retains a coarse
surface that is ideal for remov-
ing the dry goose flesh above
the elbows and the back OF
the arm.
A good soap should be ap-
piled generously. 1t is better
to melt the soap first, then
wet the luffa in warm water,
and after squeezing out most
of the water dip it in the
melted soap and rub vigorously.
A brush may be used, if pre-
ferred. Then rinse off every
trace of soap and dry with a
bath towel.
After that cover the arms
and hands with a mixture OF
equal parts of mineral oil.
castor oil and olive oil. Add
10 drops of oil of lavender for
perfume-a tablespoonful Of
each of the oils will do for sew
eral applications. Tissue cream
may be used instead of the
oils if desired, and two treat
ments 4 week will do, but on
the other days the almond
meal and soap or the oatmeal
bags may be used to soften and
cleanse the skin.
You may have my Hand and
Arm Treatment, if you wish.

Etiquette
Seating Guests
At Table

ByMRS.CORNELIUS BEECKMAN
'.Dear Mrs. Beecknan:
"Will you please tell me if
there should be any set form
for placing guests at the dinner
table at a party that is to be
given at a hotel?
"The mother of the grOom-tO-
be is giving a dinner for her
sisters and brother in order for
them to meet the bride-tO-be
and the brides mother, father
and brother. 3D."
Dear D.:
If, as I imagine, this dinner
Is definitely given in honor of
the bride-to-be and the groom
toIbe, the bride-to-be is seated
at the right of the host, the
groomto-be is seated at the
right of the hostess, his mother,
since he is the man guest of
honor. The second place of
41OAAO1 4OL q 44AcA4S dV CAAC 4lOo-
tess left, is reserved for the
brides father. The second
place of honor for a woman, at
the hosts left, is reserved for
the brides mother. These are
the important honor places,
and the other guests are then
seated around the table accord
ing to congeniality.
If the party is given in
honor of the brides mother and
father, then the brides mother
would be given the place at the
hosts right, and the bride-to-be
would be at the hosts left.
The brides father would be
seated at the hostess right,
and the groom at the hostess
left.

Must Feel Right

Remember that a garment
right for you doesn't hurt any,
where, doesn't make it hard for
you to sit down, doesn't cut off
your breath, doesn't rub or
punch anywhere. In other
words, it should be perfectly
comfortable, and should simply
mold your curves into more
graceful lines. Too much re-
straint is as harmful as too lit
tie.
Brassieres and bandeaux are
as important in the new mode
as are foundation garments. II
you have too little bust, you can
make it look better by the right
type of bandeau, and if you
have too much, or need support
or control, you can get a firm,
comfortable brassiere that will
make you feel, as well as look,
better,
The Washington times., 1935-09-11

type, the short-waisted and the
sway-back figure. So you can
see that no one garment can
fit every figure. and it's silly
to try to wear something that
isn't designed for your type.
It's impossible for me to tell
you what sort of garment to
wear, even if I should see each
one of you, for I'm not an ex-
pert corsettiere. I only hope
to impress upon you the impor-
tance of getting fitted into a
good garment, instead of buy
ing something off the coun-
ter" unless you have a perfect
figure and can step right into
the new fall clothes.
