You may be interested to hear
how q grand opera star cares for
her beauty and how she puts on
her makeup.
Coe Glade, the young American
singer who has been called the
most brilliant and fascinating
Carmen o., them all, has some orr
ginal ideas about makeup.
She is q slender, medium tall,
young lady with a lovely clear
skin, and rather long bob
that falls about her face in soft
dark curls. It is difficult to tell
just what is the color of her mis-
chieviouS, sparkling eyes, but they
really may be classed as dark
green.
I asked her what she did to keep
her skin so perfect, and she an
swered:
Il wash my face with plenty Of
soap and water and L always use
q complexion brush"
How about creams? Do you
use facial creams?"
ooh, yes, I adore facial creams
and love to open new jars and
boxes of cosmetics, but when I put
cream on my face, / do not mas
sage it in as some girls do.
II put on plenty Of cream and.
when it is spread over my face, /
just smooth it back gently and
leave it on for about Is minutes,
then wipe it off. There IL one
thing / use when I have sung and
rehearsed all day long and know
that the face has been stretched
until the muscles and skin are
tired. Want to know what that Is?
OF course, warm vaseline. Yes,
just plain vaseIine. I cover my
face and neck with it and leave it
on while / rest. 1t does not take
the place Of cream, of course, and
use it only when tired: then re-
move it with cream.
81 always use eye shadow. It il
so flattering for any makeup; but
unless one can take plenty Of time
to apply it carefully, it Is better to
leave it off. When / wear . very
dark makeup often use powdered
rouge all over the face to blend
the tones evenly"
Dear Donna Grace: Could You
tell me whether or mot climbing
stairs and hills makes ones hips
bigger? I was informed that it
did. I walk up six flights Of
steps several times = day instead
of taking the elevator, because
like tO-alsO walk mp q hill to
work every day-several times.
miss WEST"
Dear Miss West: Climbing hills
and six flights Of stairs several
times day will not increase the
size of the hips, but there are so
many other exercises more inter
eSting than stair and hill climb
ing. Besides that, physicians tell
us that stair climbing is one
form of exertion that girls and
women should avoid.
One flight, or even two would
not be any great effort for the
average girl, but more than that,
and several times day will put
a needless strain on the heart
and other organs.
You will keep your hips slender
if you do some Of my NormaliZing
Exercises regularly, and they can
be done without leaving your own
room. Here is one you will find
effective:
Stand erect with stretched body
and straight knees and heels to-
gether. Put your hands on your
hips. raise the right leg so the
foot will be on line with the waist,
toes pointed and knees straight;
then back to position and raise
the left in the same way. Do Is of
these for each leg. The next move.
ment is a squat. Stand erect;
then, with head high and back
straight, bend the knees and do
down to q heel-Sitting position,
then up. Do eight, Of these squatS.
Next, Unsteady Of raising the
leg with the muscle, strain, swing
it forward and up as high as you
can kick. Ten kicks for each leg
and increase the number every
day until you are doing IS kicks
for each leg. Do these two or
three times day, and you will
not have big hips. Remember, you
cannot reduce with exercise II
your diet is too abundant.
I will be glad to send you my
makeup chart If you will incIOse o
stamped, Self-addreSsed envelope
for your reply, and address Donna
Grace, beauty editor Of this paper.
