BLENHSHES ARE
LIKE THAT

Nobody ever has been able to
that invaribly skin blemish
figure out why, but it does seem
which has been nothing at all for
days just will suddenly pop into
prominence about two hours be-
fore the best party of the season.
At times like this. cover-up
preparation is a real necessity.
BY all means do not pinch the
blemish or otherwise irritate it
and run the risk of making an
abrasion in the skin. Simply take
bit of your favorite cover-all
film, use it exactly according to
directions then powder over it.
If the bump still seems pretty
conspicuous to you, console your
self with the thought that no
blemish ever is as noticeable to
others as to the person on whose
face it is.

Learn These
.Last-Minute
.FreSheners

Last-minute invitations often
make necessary some hasty beauty
repair work. It's wise girl who
keeps handy a few simple items
with which to transform herself
quickly from an ugly duckling into
a graceful swan-or at least pre-
sentsble dancing partner.
For example. if your hair gets
oily all too quickly after a sham
poo. you should by all means keep
a container of absorbent cotton in
your dressing table. Put it be-
tween the teeth in the coarse end
of your comb or into the bristles
of a clean hsirbrush, then comb
or brush until much of the oil il
absorbed by the cotton. Replace
the soiled cotton with fresh and
give the hair a final going-oyer.

KEEP CURRIERS'
ALWAYS READY

Now dampen struggling ends
slightly, pin them up and leave
them up until you are dressed and
ready to leave your room. Be sure
to keep a supply of little curriers'
or at least some hair pins where
you can find them at a moments
notice.
If your hair is very dry, simply
brush and polish it until 1t CLEANS
again and looks clean and fresh.
It's important to have two hair
brushes so that one always is
clean.
To stop the garter runner in the
last pair of dress-up Stockings you
own, put drop of nail polish just
