Beauty
The Artificial
EYelashes
BY DONNA GRACE

to improve any girl who is not
favored with natural long lashes,
and no one understands this so
well as the girls Of the screen
and stage. We have never seen
a screen makeup that did not in
clude these lovely long lashes.
When they we're first introduced
they were used only for the stage
or screen, but now it is quite cor
rect to wear them at any time.
The girls in Hollywood always wear
them to formal luncheonS and day
light functions, provided they wear
any makeup. Of course they would
never think of wearing the screen
makeup with its unusual color1ng
for the street, but they do not hest
tate to wear the laShes.
It is not difficult to apply these
lasheS, but it takes little prac-
tice and a steady hand; also, one
must have a mirror that magnl-
fies if it is to be done at home.
The kind that is put on one hair
at a time is the most satisfactory
for street wear, as they are at
tached to the lower side of each
natural lash and the glue that
holds them is the most adhesive
we have ever seen. 1t will with
stand even warm water and soap,
for at least one or two waShings,
but one must avoid rubbing them
with a wash cloth, or some OF
them will come off.
There is another kind that can
be applied in a few moments.
These are in little strips the size
of the lower lid, and are put on
over the natural lash without
much difficulty. These are bet
ter for the stage and screen, how
ever, as they are not so natural
looking as the other style and
need the softening effect Of the
stage makeup to cover up the line
of the strip. 1t is done by eye
! shadow.
When you decide to do your
own with the tweezerS, and one
hair-at-a-time method, all mascara
must be removed from the laShes
first, and it is we'll to use an eye
wash, too, as you will find 1t i'm
practical to do this after the
| laSheS are on.
Do not use much of the liquid
adhesive, but take the hair up
with the tweezer and dip it in
the adhesive to half its length.
Then attach it carefully to the
under side of the natural hair.
Lashes are never applied to the
lower lid. The upper lid only is
considered in any kind Of eye
makeup.
All artificial lashes are long and
must be trimmed to suit the shape
of the face and eyes. Do not feel
that all lashes should be curly;
some girls look better in the long,
straight, mysterious types OF
laSheS.
"Dear Donna Grace: 1 have your
Ten-Day Diet and think it is fine,
but it includes milk and eggs and
cannot eat either Of these. Milk
always bIOatS me up so l can't get
my girdle on. and eggs upset my
stomach. So what?
'PENOLOPY"
Penolopy-So, why eat them?
There are number Of us who are
upset by certain foods-even plain
varieties, such as milk and eggs,
and the sensible thing to do is to
omit them from the diet.
Substitute another food on the
same diet. For instance, eat a
larger salad or a lean lamb chop
for the eggs, and if buttermilk
agrees with you drink a half glass
of that instead of the skim milk,
or a stalk of celery and glass of
water. We never prescribe for any
one, but these diets have been
tested and are really effective.
