Dry Skin Requires
Constant Care
To Look Well
BY PATRICIA LINDSAY.

We are told that the condition
commonly known as dry skin" is
caused by the failure of tiny mois-
ture and oil glands which are in the
second layer of skin to function
normally. This in turn is caused by
ones failure to supply the blood
| stream with food necessary to create
the protoplasm required to renew the
| skin.
But, fortunately for us, the skin
has power of renewal if it is given
sufficient nourishment and the
proper external treatment to stimu-
late, cleanse and soften it. It's normal
elasticity and texture may be re-
stored if you resolved to give it the
care it requires.
Dry climates, high attitudes and
hard waterfall rob the skin of its
moisture, and prolonged illness,
nerve strain and undernourishment
can quickly cause your face to look
dull and aged. So all should be
avoided if possible.
The most important step in dry
skin treatment is the stimulation.
You must wake up those lazy, in
active pores through exercise of the
body and with external massage
With quickened flow of blood to
your face your skin will take on new
beauty
To keep skin nicely fabricated
we begin with the scalp. Your hair
must be brushed daily and if your
scalp is dry, too, which is usually the
case if your face skin is dry, you
must keep it fabricated by using a
pomade or tonic several times week
When you cleanse your face do not
handle it too gently. Give it a good
brisk massage Remove the first
cream application with tissue and
then put on a richer cream. Mas
sage that we'll into the skin and slap
your face briskly every once in a
while. This second application of
/ cream may be removed with cotton
moistened in a skin tonic or stimu-
| liant. or it may be removed with warm
water mot hot and bland soap
Either the tonic or rinsing water
should be very chilled to give the
pores a bit more of a workout.
| Until dry skin becomes naturally
fabricated and softened, one should
use a protective oil or cream after a
thorough cleansing as described
above and before going outdoors in
| cold weather.
Finding the most satisfactory pro-
| tective formula is not easy There
are lovely refined oils. fluffy creams,
richer heavier creams and lotions
! fram which TO select. Some women
/ though. resort to a heated drop of
olive, mineral or almond Oil as pro-
! tective base, simply because they
cannot find the perfect commercial
I formula But unless your skin is toe
( dry and too sensitive the chances
are that one of the makeup base
mixtures will suit your skin to T.
and by asking the aid of competent
sales girl at a cosmetic counter you
may be wisely guided.

stocking stuffing" classification.
Our model above is admiring one of
these, a favorite hand cream which
this year comes in a new, gay Ver-
sion. The special large-size bottle
is ineXpenSively priced and charm
ingly decorated with roSy-pink bow
designs, both feminine and festive.
Fourteen ounces of Well-known hand
cream are contained in the smart
package to take care of
hands, knees, legs and elbows for
satisfactory length of time. Which
reminds us that cold weather is
really here and with it comes that
chapped condition of arms and legs
that is so unpleasant and unattrac-
tive. Remember to use this rich
cream on knees to avoid snagging
hose and on elbows which otherwise
display their rough, red condition in
disconcertingly conspicuous man
ner, And be sure to remind the
delighted feminine members of your
family who receive this gift to make
full use of it.
One of our favorite English firms
/ is concentrating on bath aids this
season and after seeing the display
they feature, we wouldn't be sur
prised if at least one of these items
went into every household. For
example, one Of the incest products
is travel size box of assorted bath
salt tablets, including lavender,
freesia, verbena, violet and rose
fragrances. You can soften and
delightfully."- perfume a whole tub by
adding one or two Of these tablets
to the water, These may be bought
separately Or if you prefer, in a
set with a daintily scented tale
powder in a positively gigantic con-
tainer. Other gift sets from the
same firm include luxurious lavender
soap which produces the creamleSt
lather you've ever reveled in, as
we'll as fragrant, refreshing lavender
in a tWo-ounce miniature decanter
and busting powder in the same
lovely aroma. Another version, in
cluding four items instead of three,
combines the above mentioned ar
ticles, plus jar of lavender bath
salts. All are moderately priced and
classic in their acceptance.
Whether you choose them for
important" gifts or merely for de-
lightful surprises, there should be
several manicure sets on your shop
ping list. Right offhand, we don't
know of anything that affords more
real pleasure and usefulness, for
there is hardly a woman, whether
she has professional manicures or
not, who does not find a compact,
thoroughly equipped manicure set

Novel Floral
Effects Seen
This Year
Yule Decorations
Are Lovelier
Than Ever

Whether your Christmas celebra-
ton will include a delegation of
relatives or just your own family
circle, you'll be counting on yule-
tide greens and fresh flowers to
give your home the gay new face
that the merry festival day requires.
You'll want holly wreaths in the
windows, of course, and a sprig of
romantic mistletoe over the door,
way. The gay scarlet of the poin-
settia plants and the spicy fra
GRANGE of fir and spruce boughs are
basic essentials of holiday gaiety.
It's good technique to make your
fireplace one of the focal points in
your decorative scheme, even if you
don't plan to hang up stockings.
Be sure to keep your greens in
cool place until you are ready to
arrange them and remember that
flowers lose their beauty and health
If they are crowded.
For a dramatically beautiful man
telpiece arrangement you might
choose poinsettias in madonna
vase surrounded by boughs of fir
accented with pine cones. Blue
delphinium and white gladioluses or
red roses and white lilies combined
with blades of silvered sanseviera
would make a overwhelmingly
lovely Christmas decoration Equally
effective for mantel or table deco
rations are Jerusalem cherries,
heather. poinsettia or gardenla
plants.
For those who like their Christ
mas with a dash of modernism the
florists are showing smart novel
ties, such as smilaX sprayed with
aluminium paint, pyramids of gilded
cones and holly with snoW-white
leaves. Spruce cones tipped with
mica or frost" give cool SPAR
kle to traditional bankings of green's.
Gilded gardenia leaves, cleaning
white cattails and crystallized ev-
ergreens are some of the modernis-
tic variations that make effective
yuletide decorations.
Familiar bannisters, windows and
doors can be transformed quickly
and inexpensively into gala deco
rations by outlining them with ropes
of greens. Sleigh bells and Christ
mas tree ornaments make gay ac-
cents for door knocker decorations,
and there's waterproof ribbon that
makes it practical to decorate them
with festive bows.
The centerpiece for the dining
room table is another important TO
cal point in your scheme of Christ
mas decorations. A low poinsettia
plant surrounded by wreath of
holly and greens and flanked by fat
red candles would be an effective
choice. Or you might plan an all
white centerpiece of gladioluses,
carnations and roses surrounded by
silvered cones. Let procession of
tiny white reindeer be q guard Of

found inspiration in aviation and
have taken their names and styles
literally from the air. In the mex

cotton and emery boards-and it's

With waterproofed interior for ex-

pered as well. The cost is next to
nothing and the brand of nail aids
IS considered among the top-rank-
ing. For something a bit more lux
urious and correspondence priced
there are sets containing every es-
sential from scissors to nicotine re-
mover. Among these is one done
in sky-blue leather with cleaning
lucite frame for handling; another
is a leather-covered music box
which gives her" musical mani

handsome purse in quilted red OF

is so good looking that you can

head usher. Your father if he goes
with her. would follow with an
other usher, and every ones eyes
would be on them. If he goes ear

Dear Mrs. Post: I have a friend
who will not come to the telephone
when her friends call unless it
happens to be convenient to her. She
has her maid take the name and
phone number and then when she
is absolutely free she calls back. I
think, as many of her other friends
do, that this is very selfish and
thoughtleSs because it doesn't al
ways suit us when she calls later.
But we'd like to have your opinion.
Answer: There are a certain few
people-invalids or else really busy
professional people-Who can be ex-
cused for doing as you describe. But
unless the question of health or
business is really unusual, this be-
havior-particularly as a regular
practice-is certainly inconsiderate
to the point of rudeness.
Dear Mrs. Post: (a) am
young widow, marrying again after
four years. Is it customary for a
widow to be given away by some one,
and in case like my own where
my father is performing the cere-
mony, who would do this? (b)
Must either. or both, of the we'd
ding marches be played?
AnSWer-(a) You may walk up
the aisle entirely alone if you wish,
or you may walk with your brother
or other nearest relative But I
have known of several cases where
the brides father walked in with
his daughter. took his place as the
officiating clergyman and then per-
formed the ceremony. At all the
weddings about which I know per-
sonally, the father has given his
daughter away by merely placing
her hand in that of the BRIDE
groom. Co If you prefer other ap-
propriate wedding music instead of
the usual professional, the only
possible objection to this is that of
the guests, not realizing that it is
the professional, may not stand
until they see the procession ap-
preaching.
Dear Mrs. Post-What should
the refreshments at a tea-lecture
include? And when are these
served-all the afternoon or at
some stated time?
Answer-A big table is stood

or in a room next to it, with plates
