Beauty No

TIE secret Of real beauty? The

eles Of middle-months dust. But
when autumn comes she may
blink at the fact that her eyes
still need attention.
So here are a few eye-openers
for those who haven't been heed
ing their eyes.
First, for the woman who
wears - or should wear - glasses.
For the last few years there have
been on the market many attract
lively shaped glasses that follow
the lines of the face and actually
flatter it. For the exotic-type
woman who can wear them. there
are Chinese = looking, upward
slsnting spectacles that give her
face an odd. entieing appearance.
This year glasses can be had
trimmed in a burst of colors. The
day is gone, it seems. when women
sought to wear glasses while pre-
tending that they weren't Some
Of the new glasses are so brightly

be called accessories.
There are really important rea-

crow's-feet around your eyes. No
woman can be beautiful when her
face has the blank, cow-like ex-

/ preston of some one who's trying

Try the proper pair Of glasses,
fashioned to your face and type.
and you'll find that Dorothy
Parker was being quite unfair
when she wrote her famous jingle
Of the '20s about girls who wear
glasses"
For every woman, whether she
wears glasses or not, there are
special creams to eliminate lines
around the eyes and that crepey
look on the lids. Plain night
cream will also turn the trick.
Massage it IN lightly, around and
around, pressing in gently at the
| corners.
Be careful after powdering to
brush off brows and lashes as
well as eyelids, for a heavily
powdered appearance around the
eyes makes you look years older.
A slight touch of cold cream,
colorless eye-stick or petroleum
jelly on the lids will give you
that starry-eyed look.

Hint for Ironing Day

Place a large clean sheet on the
floor under the ironing board and
around ii when ironing pieces that
hang over the board. This will
keep the dampened fabrics from
picking up surface soil. A worn,
discarded sheet may be used for
this purpose. 1t should be put into
the wash after every use so it will
be fresh for the next ironing day.
