A Beauty Problem
Too Frequently
Neglected
By PATRICIA LINDSAY.

If you leave your home for party,
for business or for shopping, feel
ing very well pleased with yourself,
you are more likely to have a sue
cessful day. I don't mean pleased
in the sense that you think you
are a pretty extraordinary person
no, indeed-I mean pleased because
your grooming is perfect and your
appearance attractive.
You know yourself how a nice
soapy bath or shower will revive
wilted spirits! Well, add to that
all the little details of personal
grooming and you are more than
set up In spirit. A manicure, pedi-
cure, hair brushing and mouth
hygiene help a woman tremendous
ly in facing any ordeal that comes
her way. And the final touches,
such as making up her face, and
styling her hair, quite naturally
invite admiring glances Of those
whom she meets and makes a pleas
ing impression.
But impeccable grooming de-
mands more than all that-it de-
mands that steps be taken to keep
this fresh bodily daintiness intact.
Naturally that brings us right smack
up against the problems OF de-
odorants and superf1uous hair.
Beauty problems too frequently
ignored and so important that they
can strip any damsel Of her appar-
ent allure!
There are deodorants which have
been tested and found harmless to
skin and clothing. These come In
liquid and cream form and are as
easily applied as any other skin
preparation. They are most effec-
tive if applied directly after a shower
or bath, and the only caution you
must heed is to not apply them di-
rectly after using hair depilatory
So remove superf1uous hair at night
before going to bed and use a deo-
dorant the next morning after your
bath. Thus you preserve your gowns
and daintiness as we'll.
The question of superf1uous hair is
q serious one. Many fine depilatories
in liquid, cream and wax formulas
are available and are splendid to
remove hair under the arms and
thick growths on legs and arms. But
facial hair requires special consider
alton, for your skin may be allergic
to the properties /of these prepara-
tions.
If hair is not thick in growth I
advise bleaching it. If it is thick,
and you can afford it., seek the ad-
vice of a dermatologist or have 1t
removed by electrolysis. But what
ever you do-refrain from shaving
it! And if you experiment with a
depilatory remove it according to
printed directions, and apply only a
pure talcum afterward. Face skin
is sensitive and may react unfavor-
ably to any other treatment.
