out the following schedule, select
ing for each weekday a particular
beauty spot on which lou can con-
centrate: MONDAY, hair; Tuesday,
hands; Wednesday, complexion and
makeup; Thursday, body; Friday,
feet; Saturday, entire appearance.
Naturally, you will not cOnfne
your activities only to one part of
you but on Monday, for instance, II
you have half an hour to spare, it
would be wise to devote, say, fifteen
or twenty minutes of that time to
improving the appearance of your
hair and, in the remaining few min
utes, give yourself the Once-over
all around. This proposed schedule
does not, of course, limit your hair
dressing to one day week. 1t is
merely a suggested routine of
beauty care for busy women.
myself have found this a very sue
cessful method to follow end so, too,
1 think will you.
Regain the admiration of your
loved ones. Surprise them with a
new couture, with becoming make
up. Show your young folks that
beauty, neatness and charm in ap-
pearance are not attributes only of
yOuth-that mother and grand
mother, too, can benefit by a beauty
routine. You'll be glad you took
time out for your brushing and
cleansing, your exercises, when you
hear their EXPLANATIONS of delight
at their new" mother. Youth be
more than repaid for any effort
when they say How wonderful you
look" "You look ten years young
err" And, Mother, how pretty,
how attractive"
shall be happy to hear from busy
mothers who make use of this
simple plan, and hope they will all
write their experiences to me.

To the mothers and grandmOthers
Now that the holidays are over,
and you can relax for a breathing
spell, do you look as though you
had been run through a wringer, or
left out in the rain by some for
getful person?
In your haste to complete prep
arations for the gala days, did you
ignore yourself? Most mothers do.
And, so in this column today, am
appealing to you mothers and grand
mothers whose work is never done
to take time out, and make your
own appearance as attractive as any
decorative effect you may have
planned for your families.
Dress up! Brighten up your
whole costume! Make your very
presence breathe an air of gaiety
and charm! Don't let yourself get
an after-hOliday slump in spirit and
appearance just because you may be
tired from pre-CelebratiOn duties.
If your natural enthusiasm for your
children's pleasure has almost run
away with you, stop now and give
a thought to your own self-beautlfi-
cation.
1t isn't difficult to see oneself
emerging from the period of house
cleaning and decorating with be-
draggled hair, unkempt hands,
fatigue lines, around the eyes and
across the forehead. 1t seems to be
the great feminine custom to do the
Job completely-AND to wear one
self out with the effort. BUT, there
is no need for carelessness just be-
cause little extra work comes up
There is no necessity for a cessa-
ton of the beauty program because
1t was so hard to stretch the hours
over the numerous chores that
cropped up each dayl
Begin today to concentrate a
little more zealously on your beauty
routine. If you haven't any plan for
improving and enhancing your ap-
pearance, use these early weeks of
January for establishing one. Once
the habit of care Is developed, your
beauty practices will seem as simple
to accomplish as any other Of your
daily duties!
In order to help you have laid
