Powder is a frivolous, gay part
Of every makeup and always has
a fluttery way of distributing it.
self over neck bands and should
ers. This is all very well when
one is in a dressing gown, but it
can be most annoying at other
times.
We dislike powder marks on our
clothes. 1t seems to detract so
much from ones sense of neatness
and there is not much excuse for
it.
We know it Is impossible to
powder the face and neck without
scattering some Of it about, but
when one is away from home, it
is always possible to find tissue
or towel to cover the neck and
shoulders. Then, when the make
UP is finished, remove the tissue or
covering, and the gown will be
clean.
For home use or travelling, one
should have a regular makeup
scarf to protect the gown. They
have little silk scarfs made espe-
cially for this, and some Of them
cover the gown and whole front Of
the dress when one is seated.
Then over the shoulders in the
back. These Scarfs are lovely for
the business girls desk beauty
case.
When ono finds the neck and
shoulders become Soiled after a
day or so 1t is an easy matter to
refresh them by rubbing them
with a little cleaner.
Every well-groomed girl will
keep a little bottle in the cabinet
to remove any soil that appears
before the gown really needs to
0e sent to the cleaner.
"Inquisitive" - MuScularity is
really not a fault, although we
do not expect girls Of 16 to be
muscular. Good, firm muscles
are desirable but not the kind
that suggests a too-robuSt figure.
Mrs. A. S.-Your powder base
must be blended smoothly into
the skin, or your powder will al.
ways appear coarse. After that
is done apply the powder gener.
ouSly. Then distribute it evenly
with brush. Send for my facial
massage method to treat your
wrinkles.
Mr.. w. B.: Superfluous hair
can be permanently removed by
electrolysiS. The other methods
are satisfactory, too, but are not
permanent. They will need to have
new applications from time to time.
Mrs. T. N. c.: A girl Of 18, height
feet 6 inches, should weigh about
l27 pounds.
Sally: A 16-year-old whose
height is four and one-half feet
should weigh about 80 pounds.
Marion: You say you do not
laugh at the funny movies because
you laugh like a hyena. That is
funny enough for a laugh, so why
not practice until you can laugh
musically.
Laughing should be Spontane-
Gus, but nevertheless, controlled.
1t may take some time and prac-
tice before you are satisfied with
your tones. You know, girls who
train for the stage and screen
must have hours of practice in
laughing-juSt as a singer does.
The important thing is to avoid
loud outbursts: such laughter jars
on your listeners. It makes one
seem ordinary and rude. The
trick is to begin low and then
increase the sound volume, like
the brides do. After enough
practice you will laugh musically
without even giving it thought.
Miss ": My NormaliZing Exer-
else will help you to the right
body contour.
You may have my weight and
measurement chart, facial mas
sage, and advice on SuperfluOuS
hair without charge, If you will in
close a stamped, self addressed en-
veIOpe for each treatment and ad.
