Routine
For Skin
Grain Cleansers w Work
Wonders w aking Up
Relaxed Pores.
BY ELSIE PIERCE,

THERE'S an interval between Win
ter and Summer glori-
Gus, sunshiny Spring days o.. when,
if ever, the, skin is quite normal
or near it. Then the skin welcomes
a change in diet. All the creaming
and oiling it had. and needed so badly,
during the Winter has helped to keep
it soft and smooth. Fine. Now the
oil glands begin to function little
more rapidly. If the skin is not ex-
posed to the direct rays of the sun
which extract the oil. the cream can
be put aside. or at least alternated
with soap and water cleansing, with
liquid cleansers, with cleansing
grains.
Think of the beauty routine for
your skin as a diet. Think of your
skin as analogous to your body A
change of diet is as welcome to the
skin as change of food is to the
body.
Unless your skin is very dry very
sensitive, easily irritated or fragile
or alergic, change to soap and
water or grain CleanSerS will be very
welcome. These pore cleanSers or
beauty grains really accomplish two
things. They Seep deep into the pores
cleansing thoroughly, clearing every
little opening of foreign matter. At
the same time they stimulate circu-
lation; lazy, distended, enlarged pores
contract under the influence of this
stimulation. They wake up relaxed
pores, and help to refine the skin tex

MoiSten the skin. Pour q small
quantity of the grains into the palm.
Then use the grains as you would
cream, massaging in an upward
and outward direction. They should
be worked into paste. Pay special
attention to the wings OF the nose,
the chin, the forehead. Don't be
half f-hearted about it. This isn't a
surface cleansing-you're getting down
deep You'll find that little dead
cells roll off mighty quickly under the
"action" of these grains. The skin
should look clearer. more transparent,
with healthier glow of color.
If the skin is quite heavy and oily
add complexion brush to the cleans
ing process. If you think you have
been cleansing your skin thoroughly
right along, you'll be surprised at
the difference this. extra" or
"super" or sub-surface (call it what
you wild cleansing makes. For
blackheads, enlarged pores, excessive
oiliness, sluggishness, these grains are
grand! And-you might try them
on your hands while you're at it. For
dark, discolored hands, these beauty
grains are a special treat

Yes, plenty of women do it. Plenty
of women think their husbands should
work their fingers to the bone to pro-
vide them with the comforts and
luxuries of life, but that they are
not called upon to make any return.
They think they should take all and
give nothing. get hundreds OF
letters from men telling me that they
have to get up and cook their own
breakfasts before starting to work,
and that when they return their wives
demand that they help get the dinner,
clean up the house and take care Of
the children.
I have no words strong enough to
express my contempt for the able
bodied wife who doesn't get up in the
morning and give her hard-working
husband a good breakfast and CHEEKY
smile to sustain him during the hours
he tolls for her. But have an equal
contempt for the poor boob of a man
who will let his wife put over such a
raw deal on him. Every hen-peCked
man gets exactly what he deserves.
because all he needs is just spunk
enough to make his wife understand
that she has to do her part, or else
she goes back to mamma.
Every woman makes the kind of
wife her husband demands that she
shall be. The reason women are
slovenly around home, the reason they
nag, the reason they are poor cooks,
the reason they don't sew on their
husbands buttons. the reason they
ruin their husbands with their ex-
travagance is because their husbands
let them get away with it. For proof
of this you have only to note that
business women, who know that they
will get fred if they don't make good,
are trim and tidy. They don't talk
back to their bosses and they do the
work properly that they contracted
to do.
