Circulation
Masks for
The Face
By ELSIE PIERCE.

THE skin is pretty much of barom-
eter in that it takes on leaden,
grayish hue when the body is tired.
And what body isn't tired after the
Christmas rush? You have been rest
ing the past few days, to be sure. I
hope you have been with us in our
specialized homework each evening.
Tonight. let us take circulation

and back You'll doubtless be wear
ing low-cut evening dress on New
Year Eve, which means that your
back will be very much in evidence.
And, what with woolen dresses, fur
coats or collars the back and neck
need bit Of bleaching now and then.
The same mask treatment you use
for your face can be carried down
to the very small of your back, if
you wish. It should leave the skin
shades lighter and ever 50 much
softer.
The first step, as in any treatment,
Is cleansing. But let's be q little
extravagant tonight. Use your facial
cleansing cream for your neck and
back, too. and use it generously. Then
remove with tissues. Now follow by
using cleansing grains, q delightful
soap substitute obtainable at most
beauty counters. The preparation is
unique in its effect, it removes every
bit of dead scarfskin-and this is
really what makes the skin coat look
so dark-it draws out impurities,
and it refines the skin. You friction
with fingertips after having made q
paste of the cleansing grains with
a little warm water. Then rinse of
with tepid water.
Now for the mask There are in
Vulnerable masks you can use. Ready
prepared ones are Of course preferable.
Strawberry masks are delightful. Cir
culation stimulating creams are fine
because they have a mildly bleaching
effect on the skin. If you wish you
can use q mask at home from in
gradients you are bound to have in
your own kitchen.
Follow directions diligently. After
the mask is removed mold with q
soothing nourishing cream, then pat
with skin tonic or mild astringent
to close the pores. Your skin will be
tingling, may even be red q bit, but
when that subsidies 1t will be lily
white and you will be ready for that
lovely, low-cut evening gown.

it very becoming and lovely in mid

for; also can you be sure of just what
you are getting when you buy a new
dress or coat? Labels should always
give the brand name as well as the
trademark, and should show the cor
rect size according to U. S. Govern
men standards. Directions for the
care Of the garment should also be
stated, or if not, this information
should be secured at the time the
purchase is made. Guarantees as to
fast colors and liability of shrinkage
should also be stated. Fastness of
! color should refer not only to the ef-
feet of sunlight, but also to washing
and perspiration, and it is the right
OF the shopper to find out about these
things before making purchase. If

she does not), ask to talk to the buyer

girl may have all the virtues under
the sun and still be washout as a
wife unless she fires your fancy. Good
wives are purely matter Of personal
taste.
OF course, girls are not standardized

their advantages and drawbacks as

has been trained to punctuality and
won't keep her husband dangling
around for 80 minutes waiting to keep
an appointment. She knows how to
run budget and has the respect for
money that comes from having earned
1t. She will have more sympathy for
her husband because she knows from
experience how nerve-wearing and ex-
hausting the treadmill of business Is
and how, after q hard day in the office,
all one wants to do is to come home

Paper Plates Only
Tabu in a Home
With a Maid.
By EMILY POST.

DEAR MRS POST: Are paper plates
and napkins tabu at an evening
party? We have no help and after q
party there are few hands to do the
cleaning up, and think it would be
so much easier to use paper. I don't
know whether you are familiar with
some of the very pretty paper equip
ment that can be bought today. The
napkins look like linen and the plates
are shining and decorated like china
plates. In addition to making party
giving easier, they do look pretty. I
shall be looking forward to your an
swer.
Answer.-Since the main objection
to having parties of Any size in a house
that has one maid, or perhaps no maid
at all, is the endless amount of dish
washing. to say nothing of an enor-
nous laundry bill, paper plates and
napkins, and tablecloths, too, are too
practical to be tabued by anything so
unreasonable as yesterdays conven-
tions which were concerned with great
houses In other words, if your house
is simple one, you can use paper
things, certainly. On the other hand,
If your house were a formal one and
you had many servants, then you
shouldn't use paper unless you were
giving real picnic out-of-doors or in
barn or somewhere other than in
your own dining room.

NEAR MRS. POST: Will you please
tell me If it is necessary to have
holder at each place in which to put
the place card. If it is not necessary
to have holders, will you tell me
whether cards are stood up against the
glass or where. Will you also tell me
what kind of card is in best taste.
Answer.-Place cards are usually fiat
cards and they are laid on the napkin.
In some few very smart houses, which
are perfectly appointed, place cards
are embossed in silver with tiny
crest, if the family has one, or with
a tiny monogram no bigger than
cherry pit. Sometimes the cards them
selves are bordered with silver GA
silver border must not be confused with
a silver edge, which is not in good
taste in the present day. A silver bor-
der is like the colored borders that are
put around note paper. little less
than an eighth of an inch wide. A sill
yer edge. on the other hand, is usually
a thick card with beveled edge and
the bevel silvered) In most houses,
however, an ordinary white card is
used. Fancy cards often replace the
plain ones at special dinners such as
those on Thanksgiving or the Fourth
of July, or for birthday party or for
children's parties.

Fortunately for the children now

the sunshine is weak, our children are

adding their sources Of supply to the

WHO GETS SUFFICIENT

Insidious, slowly progressive dis abling condition known as multiple lleuritis or polyneuritis in this country and England, as kakki in Japan, and as beriberi in China, the Philippines and Malaysia, if now recognized as nutritional de- flciency disease, due specifically to deficiency of vitamin B in the diet. The characteristic feature of the disease is nerve degeneration which accounts for the progressive weak ness and paresis (partial paralysis) or complete loss of use of various muscles, especially in the legs and arms but along with this weaken ing or impairment of the voluntary muscles there is generally weaken ing or impairment of the heart muscle too, SO that the circulation fails.
 If the condition is not diagnosed and adequately treated the paresis or parylsis slowly but steadily in- creases and finally death occurs from dilatation of the heart, edema of water or serum into the pleural cavity), hydropericardium (effusion of water or serum into the mem- branous sac around the heart, or paralysis of the diaphragm, or several of these terminal conditions iii complication.
 In this country, notwithstanding droughts, floods, earthquakes, dust horrors and occasional Democratic landslides, we have practically no starvation, and so physicians in America seldom see cases of class ical beriberi. But after all there are some millions of norons among the population of this free and easy country and inevitably many mor- ons are bound to suffer with mul- tiple neuritis as a consequence of deprivation of vitamin B incident to tho loss of appetite for proper food when a considerable share of the calories on which the individual exists is derived from alcohol. So common, indeed, Is this masked or modified beriberi in America that 1t has been known for many years as alcoholic neuritis." It is the way many moderate" stea dy drinkers, as well as periodic in- ebriates, finish their career. It Is due to partial deprivation of vita min B, and might as well be called d. f. neuritis as alcoholic iieuritis.
