artistic makeup must admit that
the woman who does not care
whether she uses rouge and lip
stick and other cosmetics, usually
looks even worse than the painted
lady who does not know when to
use restraint.
1t Is as bad to wear too little
makeup as IL Is to wear too much.
That washed-out look is something
to avoid and does not give the i'm
preston OF ultra-refinement as
much as 1t does Of biliousness,
The new trend OF naturalness Is
fine, OF course, but II would be A
mistake for any woman to stop
using any makeup at all. Few
women can boast Of natural color
ing and health that makes this
possible.
OF course. cosmetics must be
applied sparingly and artistically,
but they should never be elm
mated from the daily grooming
routines. Any man who Is used
to seeing his well groomed wife
look as charming in her house
dress as she does when "dolled
up" viii agree that the woman
who lets all thought OF gliding
the lily" 60 il not as pleasing to
the eye as her carefully madeup
sister.
Few women have rosy cheeks,
naturally red lips and compilations
that never get shiny.
Colorless eyelashes and eye
brows. for instance, are respon-
sible for an unattractive appear
ance. Their owners can do much
to improve their faces by the
careful use of dark eyebrow PEN
ellis and eyebrow makeup.
Another contri blu tor to the
washed-out. faded look is dull,
lifeless hair. The woman whose
hair is lust plain brown" ought
to take care that 1t doesn't be-
come mousey brown. Daily clean
ing and polishing with a hair
brush will help. A weekly sham
poo and series of scalp treat
ments will do wonders.
Lipstick (which MUST be used
carefully also can do wonders
for colorless appearance. but |
the woman who does not like the |
shape of her lips only succeeds
in looking like a comic valentine
when she paints a false mouth |
over her unpretty one. When the
natural outline of the mouth is
followed IL Is never as unattrac-
tive as perfectly painted false
one.
Powder is supposed to drama
tie the skin-not hide IL COM
pletely. On the other hand, 1t |
ought not TO be used so stlngily'
the face looks like CREASED WIS.,
age and all women who are in
clined to be sallow should never
forget that rosy tinted powders
can do much for them.
No woman who wants to have
the reputation for good looks can
afford to ever have that washed
out" appearance. That Is why
we can't shout "be utterly nat
ural," for few of us have the nat
ural compilations and points of
beauty to stand such strict
course. MISS A. B. c.
Asparagus
Dear Miss Grey: Can you sug-
gest few ways to serve aspara-
gus that will relieve the monotony
OF Just boiling 1t in hot water
and serving 1t with butter, salt
and pepper. HOUSEWIFE.
While fresh asparagus is
plentiful and reasonably priced.
the housekeeper is lucky to have
1t on her menus. II can be
served in variety of ways
that need not be monotonous.
Try 1t with melted butter or
Hollandaise sauce, or creamed.
also as an appetizer with an
chovies and hard-boiled eggs on
toast rounds; or with boiled
ham and seasonings as a main
dish en- casserole; or combined
with chicken and eggs in a
loaf; or French fried with
vrafad cheesa and thick uhife
