Coarse Skin
WithCare
Stimulate Well
With Exercise
And Massage
By Patricia Lindsay

Many women who have a coarse
skin texture tend to treat their COM
plexions too gently. A coarse skin
is the result of too little exercise
both for the skin and the body To
correct the condition one must slim
ulate the skin well, through firm
hand massage and by exercise Of
the body daily until 1t perspires
freely.
Enlarged pores appear because
the normal-sized pores become con-
gested and do not discharge the
wastes OF the body. They then be-
come lethargic and do not function
at all, relying on the rest OF the
skin area to do their job. To stimu-
late them this treatment is neces-
sary. Wash the face well with pure
CASTLE soap and quite warm water,
using the palms Of the hands in
stead of face cloth. Rinse of the
soap with warm water and then
splash the face with as cold water
as you can stand. Alternate hot and
cold four or five times.
Dry the skin by blotting of the
moisture with a linen face towel
or soft cotton towel. Then, using
both palms, massage the face slowly
and firmly, bringing the blood to
the surface and making your skin
tingle with activity. If you can
possibly do so, get along without
any makeup 0ipstick allowed, and
let the air and sunshine help your
skin.
Every other night anoint your
skin, after it has been washed as
instructed above. with Lolita Alba,
which a good chemist can mix for
you. 1t is an old-time skin con-
ditioner and most effective. Leave
this on over night and wash it of
in the morning.
On alternate nights Cor during
the day use a face masque for
firming the muscles and tightening
the skin. Until your skin has re-
turned to its normal beauty, would
suggest you mix your own masque
at home.
This may be done by mixing yeast
cakes with milk or cream to form
a paste, spread it over the skin. al
low it to dry hard, rinse of with
warm water.
Or apply the yolk Of an egg over
the face and neck, let it dry. II
some yolk is left apply it over the
dried egg, and let it dry. Over al
spread the white Of the egg. All
should remain on the skin for al
least half hour during which time
you may go about your tasks or re-
lax. Rinse of with warm water and
splash skin with cold water.
This is very good for the Skin
as it combines the nourishing quail
ties Of the egg yolk and the tighten.
ing qualities Of the white.

Undoubtedly, we shall have much
of the same spirit here. Women Will
go into uniform, but they will not
forget that the men who fight Will
welcome the sight of pretty frock,
a happy smile and gay, courageous
manner. Toward this end. we believe
that women will not forget about
clothes. for their own morale as
well. 1t is obvious, however, that
thev will follow the pledge offered
bv the Consumer Division of the
Office of Price Administration. which
saws. briefly: Il will buy carefully.
I will take good care of the things
7 have. I will waste nothing"
Ruth OBrien, chief of the Division
Of Textiles and Clothing, Bureau OF
Home Economics, United States De-
partment of Agriculture, recently
issued statement about this matter.
Saws Miss O'Brien: when clothing
purchases are we'll planned and each
garment bought carefully, ward
robe is bound to be better assembled
than when clothing is purchased
haphazardly, with no thought to
checking points of quality. With
many kinds of clothing and textiles
becoming limited. there is more need
today than ever to buy clothes that
substantial materials, clas-
sically simple lines, basic colors.
When clothing must last longer than
usual, it's best to avoid novelties that
are doomed in a season or less" Here
Is a simple idea that sums up the
attitude women must take, and the
Bureau of Home Economics con-
tinues with some valuable sugges-
tions which are briefly reviewed as
follows:
Know your materials so that you
can clean and store them properly.
Find out about fastness to light
and washing, shrinkage and spe-
cial finishes from the clerks, buyers
and, of course, from labels. Wash
wool garments carefully in warm
water and mild soap, squeezing the
suds through. Dry in a warm place
but not directly near fire or in di-
rect sunlight. Those rayons which

wishes, but again she is not obliged
to do so. Nor is 1t necessary for her
to feed him constantly during his
stay. If he does take all or most OF
his meals at her home, he should
reciprocate by taking her out to din
ner at least once. 1t would be nice II
he could extend this invitation to her
parents. too but he'll probably have
neither the desire nor the cash to DO
that.
AS for entertainment, Jennifer can
reasonably be expected TO devote
herself exclusively to Jimmy during
hi, visit. II she isn't willing to 90
that. she shouldn't invite him to
come. Unless they are terribly In love
and simply must be alone as mucn as
possible, she could well plan at least
a small party while he Is there, so
that he can meet some OF her other
friends. And of course, she can ar
range for double dates or join any
gang-iaunts which she thinks ne
might enjoy.
The matter Of payment for such
affairs often puzzles our reaoerS. II

nlav an athletic event, or something
similar. that's quite all right. jimmy
should feel no hesitation about ac-
cepting such kindnesses. But on
other occasions, Jimmy should buy
the tickets and pay the checks, just
as he would on any other date.
Jimmy will undoubtedly be taxing
Jennifer a Christmas present. but II
he is to be a house guest, he may also
want to take small gifts to other
members of her family. Certainly
her mother should not be forgotten,
The mothers gift may be presented
on arrival, at any time while he Is
there. or after he leaves. In any
case. 1t does not take the place OF
his bread-and- butter letter. which
should be written to Jennlfers S
mother at the earliest possible mo-
ment after his departure.
Our only other suggestion Is that
Jimmy have some consideration for
Jennifer's family. Even though they
like him. he may easily get in their
hair if he is on the scene too con-
stantly. He should remember that
they like privacy as much as he and
Jennifer do. although probably for
different reasons. He won't let them
get too sick Of the sight of him, II he
hopes to be asked again.

Jack has hard work to get pass
ing mark, especially in French, but
he plays in the band, takes music
lessons after school. He is . good
basketball player and he wants to
play on the team. We think he
should not play In the band or on the
team until he gets higher marks.
What do you Think"

and on the team and take his music
lessons because those are the actlv-
tiles in which he excels. II those are

He will not get better. but worse
marks in his lessons because there Is
no spiritual power coming to him
through his success in the other
activities.
Many people have an idea that the
children must master the complete
course Of study in order to develop
ability and success in life. The course
OF study was built more than a hun
dred years ago when only the intel
lectually- gifted child was expected
or permitted to attend the higher
grades.
I remember when a failing pupil
was dismissed from school. He didn't
learn; his marks cut down the class
average and out he went and nobody
thought it wrong. Today with COM
pulsory education laws and child
labor laws this is not done so crudely,
nor so openly. But the old idea Is
still alive and at work to the detri-
ment of children not gifted in schol-
arly ways.

met such a man the other day.
He is a business man who gave ex-
preston to this defeatism when he
exclaimed: What is the use of 60
ing on?"
The tragedy of defeatism lies in
its loss of confidence.
To lose your faith in God, in
truth, in the efficacy of prayer, in
the teachings of Christ, is to cut
lose the anchor which holds your
life to worthwhile purposes and to
drift downstream with the tide,
only to be carried out to sea, that
vast sea of negation where awaits
certain destruction.
It is easy to drift with the tide,
whether that tide is river one or
a psychological one.
1t takes life, energy, purpose to
buck the tides of life.
It takes courage to believe. It
takes courage to declare ones be-
lief and to daily build upon it.
But the courageous man never
goes unrewarded. Out of his cour-
age is born a greater respect for
himself. He has purpose in life
which makes his life worthwhile,
not only to himself but to others.
His courage gives him leadership
and his efforts toward accomplish
ment inspire others to worthwhile
purposes in life.
If the spirit of defeatism is at
tacking you, meet it by a courage
Gus faith in God and a determina-
tion that, whatever else may hap
en-, you purpose to continue right
along in your effort to accomplish
something worthwhile.
