The weekly echo. (Meridian, Miss.) 1931-1942, 1940-09-13
The spring and the fall of the year

The spring and the fall of the year
always are periods of change. Now
IS the time to recondition the home
FOR the winter months :. the time
10 remove furniture slip-covers, and
brighten the home for the next few
months of indoor activities and
living.
This suggests to me the need for
bit of beauty reconditioning And
most of us need just that after three
months of summer activity and
summer heat which many times
causes us to be negligent in our
beauty routine.
Chances are that the summer sun
hasn't benefited our faces. We're
probably tanned. The skin is drer
New squint lines can be found
around the eyes. A series of pro-
fessional or home treatments is
needed, backed up with a good
cleansing cream and a night cream
-. regularly used.
The reason 1 emphasize "regu-
1arly" is that during the heat of the
summer, it is difficult to do any
thing regularly, especially anything
which means eXertion. But now
that summers heat is gone and we
have the invigorating GOODNESS of
fall, we can make repairs for our
negligence the past several months.
Use creams regularly, and the skin
soon will soften once more, will
seem to tighten in color and appear
more beautiful.
Summers outdoor activity is not
the best conditioner for hands. They
may need expert attention. At least
they'll need considerable personal
attention. Use a hand-lotion fire.
quently. Manicure the nails and
cuticle. And remember how impor-
tant 1t Is that the nails be shaped

to conform with the shape of your
fingers. Avoid claw-like hands by
all means. But shapely nails can
enhance the appearance of stubby
fingers, can add to the beauty Of
well-formed fingers.
Frequent swimming parties, the
outdoor sun-all have contributed
to tOday's condition of your hair. 1t
probably is dry, and may even be
streaked. Oil shampoos will help.
Or you can massage oil into the
scalp and leave it overnight, remov-
ing it first thing in the morning With
a good shampoo. A good hair color
ing will cover any streaks and give
an appearance of naturalneSS.
Brush your hair more frequently.
Besides serving as a good massage,
the brushing invigorates the scalp.
Most of us shamefully neglect to
brush our hair during the summer
and, therefore, must brush it more
frequently during the cooler periods
of the year.
Yes, it's time to recondition our
beauty. It's an endless job, isn't it !?
But how satisfying it is to have
other women and men pay
us the tribute that good beauty care
merits. An honest effort, backed up
with the careful selection of mate
rials,-and the battle can be won.
Let's never forget that beauty
means romance!

VASHON-A letter of common

defense Of Coffee's record.
This letter doesn't mean a thing
so far as Coffee's record is con-

can be no defense for his con-

of the Dies committee and to ap-
preparations for its continuance.
"A letter from one so-called
liberal member Of congress about
another member of that bloc
doesn't alter the fact that our
representative has given aid and
comfort TO our most dangerous
enemy-those un-American organ
izations which seek TO destroy our

here at home to undermine and
overthrow the government by
stealth and deception. Coffee's
votes on the Dies matter and other
bills designed to stop this sort of
thing show clearly his leaning"
