Drink Water
For Beauty
And Health
Sound Advice Given
by Majority of Mod
ern Beauticians.
BY ELSIE PIERCE,

DoNT stop me if you've heard this
one about the value of water to
health. But I'm not going to stop
with the health point of view. For
somehow we women fail to respond
to health sermons. The glamour of
beauty is bound to get more of a re-
sponse. So let's talk about beauty
and how water enters the picture.
The eight glasses of water-a-day
theory has been debunked. Most
authorities agree that eight glasses
OF liquid is what the body requires
ana frult juices, vegetables, composed
chiefly of water, soups, coffee, tea and
milk may be called upon to supply
some of the fluid content; but they
should not be allowed TO take the
place of water entirely. A glass of
water Of perhaps two before breakfast
Is a fine way 10 start the day. Many
people prefer it hot and add lemon
juice. It's a good cocktail, sets you
up right. Try to avoid sugar in this
cocktail if you can. Another few
glasses of water through the day,
preferably between meals.
Bear in mind that the body is COM
posed of multitude OF cells of which
the chief constituent is water. We lose
water through breathing, through the
pores of the skin by prespiration and
through natural evacuation. This
water loss should be replaced in order
to keep the fluid level of the body.
During the Winter We prespire less,
which ordinarily would mean that
the water loss is less. However, water
loss Is governed by humidity more
than by temperatures. In artificially
heated homes the air is usually very
dry and lot of water is lost as a
result. Therefore we should continue
TO drink water during the Winter
months.
What if We don't? Dry skin, chap
ped lips, lusterless hair and eyes result.
What if we do drink plenty of water?
I quote from notes made during a
lecture by a physician a few years
ago:
Water has sparkle, clear, beauti-
ful-and the woman who drinks a lot
OF water usually boasts a thin, trans
parent, beautiful skin with the clarity
of water about it. Her eyes are clear
ana sparkling, too. Conversely, a
thick, dull skin usually suggests lack
of water among other things. Thin
and nervous people usually sin on
the insufficient water side.
I'VE all know that water helps to
wash away wastes, helps the kidneys
and intestines to function properly.
But how many of us know that water
helps to keep muscles firm and COM
pleXions clear"
Now will you turn on the faucet7

BY MARGARET WARNER.

A WOMAN'S face can remain
~ young and lovely, no matter
~ what her age, if she keeps the
L muscles underlying her skin
firm. The. skin cannot sag or become
wrinkled if supported by muscles kept
strong by exercise and fabricated with
a nutrient cream. Here in nutshell
is the prescription for continued
beauty of face and throat as set forth
by beauty consultant known on two
continents.
She believes that beauty must be
coaxed from beneath the surface
through exercising the muscles so that
they will retain their elasticity instead
of allowing them to become brittle like
a worn-out rubber band that has
guarded a bundle of letters for too
many years. It's the same proposition
of keeping fit that is employed by the
athlete, the dancer, and the woman
who wishes to stay slim and ward of
those middle-age bulges that appear
so stealthily in undesirable places.
Why should the face receive only
outside attention, with bit Of mild
massage as cream is applied? Massage
has been found to be definitely harm
full, unless scientifically done, as 1t Is
apt to stretch the skin so that the last
state is worse than the first. The au-
thority on beauty whom We are quot
ing today, advocates method of deep
muscle manipulation to be done daily

grandparents, or to dullards, or selfish
tyrants, or even to those so physically
repugnant that their touch made them
sick.
But, alas, they soon find out that
mere possession can pail upon you;
that you can cease to get thrill out
of a new frock when you have too
many clothes already: that you can
not bring the appetite to an everyday
feast that you brought to an occa-
sional good dinner; that a house in
which there is no love is not a home,
no matter If it is a palace. No mer-
cenary marriages are happy, as you
can see by watching the hard faces
Of the women who have sold them
selves for money and the cowed look
Of the men who have to go to their
wives for pocket change.
The only thing to marry for is COM
panionship. That is the only thing
that is the real, genuine, blown-in-
the-bottle guarantee of domestic hap
piness. The only thing that keeps
marriage from being just an endur-
ance test and turns it into a joyous
and thrilling adventure is for a hus-
band and wife to be so congenial and
so interested In each other that they
can spend so years together without
ever talking out or boring each other
X X
IT DOESN'T matter whether q
woman Is pretty or homely,
whether she is brilliant or just $3.50;
1t doesn't even matter whether a
couple is rich or poor. if they have
the same tastes and habits, If they
enjoy doing the same things, if they
like to read the same books and 60 to
the same movies. they will be happy
together. They will be good company
for each other; they will never have
dull and sodden moment together
and they will never be running away
from home to find some one who "un-
derstands" them.
It is a pity that young people put
so little stress on this matter of COM
panionship when they are picking out
their husbands and wives. For it is
the thing that counts most in max
ing marriage a success. If only in
stead Of asking does he or she thrill
me and raise my blood pressure, boys
and girls would ask: Does he or she
entertain me and keep me from
yawning; If only instead Of consid-
ering how much money he or she has,
they would ask What sort of a line of
conversation does he or she possess
II instead Of looking for soul mates
they pick out some one who has had
the same politics and liked the same
kind OF pie that they did, there would
be mighty few divorces.

Lave you ever noticed how some
L L people always seem to take glee
in hauling out of the mildewed past
little private jokes that go right over
your head? You, for instance, start
to tell about show you've seen.
And then one of these know-it-alls
says, "Showl Ha, ha. What does
that remind you of, Annie?" And
then Annie says. "Oh, yes. Show!
Ha. ha." And they both go of into
outlaws, and you are left hanging on
to your chair, and wondering why
in the name of sense you ever came
around to see these people anyhow.
Personally we think it's a nasty,
snobbish trick. The people who play
it are just trying to boost themselves
into some sort of an inner circle.
As long as we happen to be around.
we think that they should keep their
private jokes in the closet with the
skeleton.
When they get really unbearable,
though, we know how to fuss them
a bit. We just laugh with them, and
say, ooh, yes. I heard about that.
Showl Ha. ha." And you should see
the startled expression on their faces.
It's really worth the cold shoulder
that you get afterward, just to watch
it. JEAN.

Lace Popular.

So many of the clothes this year
combine lace with some other sheer
fabric. Net, marquisette. chiffon and
organdie are by far the most popular
for combination with lace, and the
two fabrics are contrasted in graceful
and ingenious ways. A prevalent
manner of doing this is with alternat-
ing panels of the two materials, some
times set on a diagonal line with no
further decoration on the gown, other
times in alternating horizontal bands
of sheer fabric and lace. Sometimes
a wide founce of lace gives the dressy
touch-what used to be known as
"lace flouncing"-and at other times
a separate jacket of lace, or an all
lace bodice makes the contrast.

TheWedding
Cake Often
Hard to Cut

Slicing With Knife
Point.
BY EMILY POST.

DEAR MRS. POST: was at a
miniature wedding reception re-
Gently. In fact, there were only 10
persons present. But it was one of
the loveliest after wedding parties I
have ever known. 1t was late after
noon and almost dark, the dining
table was set with lace cloth and
candelabra, there was small brides
cake ornamented with the wedding
couples first names and bride and
bridegroom figurine set on top, and
there was champagne to drink the
traditional toasts. Unlike all other
weddings at which I have been. at
this one sat close enough so that I
could watch the wedding cake being
cut. and I never before realized that
this could be such task. The bride
pierced the cake with the point of the
blade but when she tried to bring
the side of the blade down through
the cake, the slice broke into many
pieces. One of the guests took the
knife then but her luck was just about
the same. have wondered since the
wedding whether there was any right
way to cut a wedding cake, or is 1t,
as in this case, just matter of chance.
Answer-Of course. you don't tell
me whether the cake was not very
fresh, or perhaps the knife very dull.
In any case, the best way to cut
wedding cake is to spear it first and
with the knife in this same point
down position, continue to stab the
slice all the way across. If after the
first stab is made, the knife blade IS
brought down as though it we're
lever, the piece invariably crumbles
even though the blade is very sharp
X
DEAR MRS. POST: have sister
~ IL years old, but big for her age.
She is my only sister and at an age
that seems to make it impossible to
include her in my wedding party
either as a flower girl or as brides
maid, and yet I know the poor child
will be heartbroken if you can't fnd
some place for her.
Answer-Make her Junior brides
maid. That means that she wears
a dress as nearly as possible like those
worn by the bridesmaids, but modified
to suit her age. If you have a maid
of honor, your sister should follow
the ushers either walking alone or
else walking with another junior
bridesmaid. If she walks Immediately
before you. this would make her your
maid of honor, which she can perfectly
well be If you have not already in
vited your best friend.

great pomp and ceremony, to signify
the burial of all worldly pleasures
and feasts during the coming Lenten
fast. In Madrid particularly. 1t Is
said that vast throngs used to turn
out annually to witness the event.
Thus the sardine makes its bid for
high honors. But to us. am afraid.
1t will always remain just one of the
most convenient and useful items on
the pantry shelf.
AS matter Of fact, 1t is a pity that
sardines are not used oftener in the
daily menus, rather than saved for
certain occasions. There are many
delightful ways in which they can be
prepared, whereby their delicate, rich
flavor may be brought out to the best
advantage.

Combine the potatoes with the
horse radish and the onion. Add salt
and pepper to taste. with little lemon
juice. Moisten with the well-seasoned
French dressing. Chill and let stand
for hour. Just before serving. add
the sardines. which have been diced

YOU can't find one of them. Oh, heres

The little girls room was picture
Of disorder. Dresses lay on the radi-
ators, on the chairs, on the floor. Toys
were scattered everywhere, on the bed
and under it. Books and shoes and
hats Uttered the floor of the closet.
The bureau drawers were overf1owing,
Q gay array of ribbons, silks and
sweaters, streaming down in front.
"Now isn't that awful for girl ii
years old? Not a thing in its place.
What would you do? have to come
here twice a week or you couldn't get
into the room"
well, Sara, if this were my job I'd
simplify it by taking out two OF every
three things in the room"
"How could I? She needs them"
mo, she doesn't. How many dresses
does she really need? I'd say that
three school dresses were plenty. From
where stand now count 10, and I
suppose there are more underneath
things. Simplify matters and the
children can manage better"
Take these things and sort them.
Pack those that are not needed i'm
mediately in trunk and stow 1t IN
the store room. Take away all the
extra books, extra toys. all the clutter
that is not needed. Strip the room
to its bare necessities. Then the child
can see what there is to be done and
do it. The number of things here Is
enough to make you dizzy. What do
you s,lppose it does to Mattie?"
Reluctantly Matties mother obeyed.
mo, put the others in, too," grand
mother would say as she saw mother
cute hat. She needs very little. Give
her even less than that and she will
learn to care for it."
The boys room was stripped the
same way, only the things he actually
used being left there.
"Well, I must say the rooms look
better. More space, more light. and
certainly more order. What will they
say, thought"
Never mind what they say. If life
seems cluttered and confused, try
simplifying it. That's good rule"

Nor do the women fare better who

Besides, those who marry for beauty

good looks do not last. Time takes
