to be pretty for your own partyl

can help to make the party go
more smoothly. Plan a menu that
leaves as little as possible to do the

time SO you can get details attend

day Of the party.
Hands Are Protected

neat and pretty but with just the
right note of casualness. so make
your appointment for a shampoo
and fingerwave the day before or
two days before If your set holds
well. Don't experiment with any
thing new, because IL you do not
like it you may feel self-consciOus.
OF course. you should protect
your hands with work gloves and
frequent applications Of lotion and
hand cream. But early on the
morning Of the party or the day
before have a complete manicure.

your shoulders and brush and re-
arrange your hair.
