Beauty
Shops Change
Policy
By DONNA GRACE

The last few years has shown
a great change in the policy OF
some of the better class beauty
salons.
AS you know, in former days
there was a great secrecy about
every beauty treatment. They were
all beauty secrets" no matter how
simple, and no one expected to be
given much information on any
subject.
Operators were supposed to pre-
serve the dignity of their profes-
sion by telling the customers moth
ing. It was just a little unethical
to explain why certain things were
done, so the whole business was
left to the operator and usually the
results were somewhat satisfactory
but the women of today are well
informed on anything that has to
do with their beauty, and the
shops are more than generous in
their advice and valuable inStruc-
ton.
They advocate home treatments
and will instruct the customer
in all the special details when
facial and other treatments are
given. They will be glad to show
how the products may be used to
good advantage at home.
There is no point in buying
these products, however, if they
are just put back in the cabinet
for some special occasion. To be
Of any real benefit they should
be used regularly every day, and
as one of the famous manufac-
turers says, there is still only a
small percentage of women who
will give half an hour day to
the care of the skin, so she urges
everyone to spend at least is
minutes every day, and the re-
suits will be gratifying beyond
belief.
There is no need for harsh.
coarse skins or a Scrawny neck
and hands. For the busy woman
or girl, we believe the five
minutes of a good cleansing mas
sage in the morning and 10
minutes or more every night
would be the average time to
spend in facial massage.
All rubbing and manipulation
must be done correctly, or the
delicate tissues may be stretched
and dragged. These movements
are very simple and can be done
by any one, but be sure you know
the strokes or else pat on the
cream without any manipulation.

hibition at the Savoy-Plaza, in
New York. We now have a
picture Of the guest room,
which is too lovely not to pass
along, so we will put it on our

it will be refreshing, with its
many good ideas, to our read

Boys are going through, too, with
the idea that they should con.
tribute their ideas when they are

The room we are showing today
is early American, and so has spe-

we will have no trouble.

"a tester bed, highboy, chairs,

ing table is Interestingly placed
under the large window, thanked
on either side by closets. The
most engaging thing in the room
is the use of embroidered muslin
ruffles-just like old fashioned
petticoat ruffles, and just as
much in the period of the furni-
ture. The window curtains and
the bed-curtains are Of this mus.
lin, and are all held back by inno-
cent blue ribbon bows.
The tester ruffles, too, are Of
white muslin. And the bedSpread,
one Of the most charming Of its
kind, is made Of muslin. with
bands Of embroidered beading (do
you remember the beading you
had on the tops of your slips
when you were little?) through
which is run narrow bands Of the
same blue ribbon.
There is also small chair, up

And all the lamps are white with
white shades. One point Of gen.
eral interest-and an important
decorating point as wells the
fact that in a room where the
walls are yellow, the color scheme
has been cooled and quieted by
the use of white and medium
blue. Yellow appears no place
else in the room, and the general
effect is therefore one Of fresh
ness against a warm, bright back
