WHAT EVERY
GIRL SHOULD KNOW

Your daughter should have the
finest cosmetics possible, of course.
Her powder ought to match exact
ly her natural skin tones. Rouge
should be the color her cheeks
become after violent exercise or
after the skin has been pinehed
lightly. Lipstick, of slight tex
ture, should match the rouge.
Once she has makeup of her own,
every girl should be taught to APP
ply it correctly-which means ar
tistically as well as sparingly.
Rouge ought to be blended subtly
where color would be If her cheeks
were naturally pink. Lipstick
ought to be applied, allowed to set
for a few moments and the excess
wiped off with cleansing tissue be-
fore the lips are moistened.
