Oily Skin

Very oily skin should have
this treatment every day. The
result will be a lovely complex
ion and fine skin. Some more
mature skins of the oily type
will benefit from a tincture of
green soap washing. This can
be done about once a week.
This kind of cleansing will
help prevent all blemishes and
discourage blackheads so likely
to appear from neglect. Neg
lected elbows will need frequent
treatments, but they will soon
improve with regular washings.
Cut a lemon in half and rub
elbows so the lemon juice will
remove stains, bleach and soften
the surface. Do this between
washings, not right after using
soap.
Plenty of cream is necessary
for callouses, but never apply
. the cream until the surface is
clean.

Wodehouse Goes Right on

BY IRENE VI. HAWKINS
Women's Editor, The Detroit Times

BELIEVE 1T or not, we have
just read our first novel by p.
G.. Wodehouse. This confession
we understand. is apt to bring
about a complete collapse of the
literary standing we've sat awake
nights to build up. In fact. the
crime is so colossal we feel we
must get il off our chest >. so
there you are we have never
read Wodehouse not even
Jeeves, who we are told is a
national character.
AS we look over the titles =.

what we've been missing.

Exercise and Diet Only Way
To Tone Down Curves
BY IDA JEAN KAN

The new uplift brassieres are
certainly a boon to the feminine
figure-if we had had them
years ago, we wouldn't be hav-
ing so much trouble now. They
lift and control without binding
and breaking down the tissues.
In purchasing your bra. always
have a fitting, Just as you would
for a girdle Today there are

PAINT REMOVER

HOT VINEGAR will remove
paint from glass. A tablespoon
or two of vinegar added TO water
for window-washing gives them
an added sheen.

by putting cloth in the basin
from time to time. If the water
is soiled, run in more. 1t must
be clean and warm. Wash the
ears and nose thoroughly. Take
plenty of time and don't spare
the soap and water.
After five minutes of wash
ing, rinse well with clear water
and dry. The skin should feel
smooth and satiny after the
rinsing if the washing was
thorough.
Apply Cream
When the skin is dry, apply a
thin cleansing cream and If
there is any tendency to oiliness,
finish with ice. Wrap the piece
of ice in two thicknesses OF
gauze. The ice against the skin
is too shocking.

Writes in Camp

The author. you may have
read :. soiourning at his French
Villa at lie Touquet, was cap
tured last June by the visiting
Germans and thrown into camp,
where he still remains. If he had
only mailed himself along with
the manuscript of Quick Serv-
ice" he would now be happily
grazing in America.
But he's having d jiOfffy time OF
it, we are told by his publishers,
and to date has written some
10000 words of his next novel
which we solemnly promise
to read, if and when it is COM
pleted. He has our very best
wishes for safe return.

The same operation may in
clude the arms and elbows and
can be done while sitting in the
tub. Use brush for the elbows
and hands.
When the skin is the very
sensitive type, make a gauze bag
and half fill with oatmeal, then
add two tablespoons of melted
soap. The bag can be tied at
the opening with a string. Use
this as a washcloth. The oat-
meal will form a milky softness
in the water and prevent irrita-
ton.

Quick Service"

But here we are at the eiev-
enth hour with Wodehouse's
latest novel. Quick Service, %
published by Doubleday, Doran
:. in which a stupid young man
lets the moon run away with
better judgment result-he
finds himself engaged, and all
without the consent of his
keeper, or rather the keeper of
his bank roll.
The whole thing is dependent
on people who have buckets of
money but don't knew when to
part with it or what to do with
it and typical Of British
humor that the plot is grace

ONE OF the major problems
of the overweight is created by
the susceptibility Of the breast
area TO the deposit of fatty
tissue. In most cases, over
development in this area Is not
due TO glandular activity. II
merely goes along with over
weight.
The only way this measure
ment can be reduced is through
a general reduction of the
weight. A protective diet re-
stricted TO two-thirds your cal
orie allowance will enable you
to take off one TO two pounds
per week. with a gradual loss
of weight in this measurement.
Misconceptions
Exercise does not help TO re-
duce the bust. but it is needed
for its tonic effect on muscles
and skin. The breast is a fatty
gland resting on the pectoral
muscle and when the supporting
muscle loses tone there is a
greater tendency to sagging.
The greater the excess weight
in this area and the more pro-
nounced the lack of muscle tone,
the worse the measurement.
No lotions or ointmentS- of am
kind are of the slightest value
in normalizing the bust. AStrin-
gents are supposed to firm a
sagging contour but what they
do is tone the skin and the
effect is temporary. Cold water
dashed over the breasts slim
ulates the circulation and ac-
complishes the same result. The
practice of splashng cold water
over the breasts. chest and
throat night and morning has a
beneficial tonic effect.
No apparatus, such as a vibra-
tor. belt or massage appliance.
should ever be used on these
delicate tissues.

General Reduction

The overly-large bust can be
gradually reduced by a general
reduction in weight; the skin
and muscle tone can be slim
ulated. Then with the aid of a
well-fitted brassiere, this mea-
surement ceases TO be a problem.
Tomorrow - the fiat chested
figure.

Be Fitted

We hear more all the time
about plastic surgery for the
bust. The only time plastic sur
gerry is indicated is in cases of
true deformity-which are rela-
lively rare.
There are fairly frequent
complaints that one side of the
bust is larger than the other.
The slight side can be built up
with a bit of padding. or with a
gay deceivcr. which is de-
signed for wear inside the bra.

Soap and Water First Step
To 'Teen-Age Glamour
By DONNA GRACE

LITTLE SWEET sixteens and
all other 'teensters are lovely,
we know, but just in case there
may be a few who are not well
acquainted with the first steps
to glamour we are going to give
them a little beauty treatment.
1t is designed for bleaching
out stained skin on little faces,
also restoring the snowy white
ness to hands and elbows.
You may use any good soap,
but first shave off about half
cupful. Put in granite boiler and
cover with water. Let it SIM
mer or boil until melted, then
remove from the fire. AS it
cools add a few drops of bay
rum. Pin up your hair or cover
your hair with rubber cap or
pin on a towel so all hair is
secured.
Be Gentle
Take a fresh waShcloth and
have the basin full of tepid
water. Dip out about two tea
spoonsfuls of the melted soap
on the washcloth, then begin the
face washing. Do not scrub or
use too much force, but gently
go over and over every bit of
the face and neck with firm
circular movements.
Change the soap and water
