you are ready to put them on your
own face.
Keep them clean. Wipe OF the
tops Of your cream Jars, and screw
the lids on tightly. Don't allow stray
hairs or other foreign material to
collect. See that powder boxes are
kept closed to keep out dust and lint
and, incidentally, to preserve It's
delicate perfume.
Use q Dipper
Wash your hands thoroughly be.
fore dipping into your foundation
or rouge, or better still, employ one
Of those little wooden paddles the
doctor uses when he looks down
your throat, or q tiny plastic spoon
for the purpose to dip out Just
enough Of the preparation for one
application. Or, you might even
choose both Of these preparations IN
stick form, applying rs much rs you
think you will need and blending
with the fingertip.
Lipsticks are likely to be germ
carriers, unless you watch out. You
may apply the color from the stick
to your lips with q brush-which.
incidentally, helps you get clear
cut, even outlines-but be sure the
brush Is washed out In hot soapsuds
at least once q week. Il you apply
the stick directly to the lips. cleanse
your lips first with cream or soap
suds and see that the surface Is per-
fectly dry. II you wish, you may
apply the slightest Aim Of pomade
or cream before putting on the col
ored Lip rouge.
In Upper Case
Another cleanliness measure Is to
keep all your handbag makeup
items In q little zippered inner case
Of their own. Your compact, COM

and lipstick tissues df you like to
have everything for q complete
change Of make-up) should be to-
gether. THUS you will avoid dust or
particles Of tobacco from cigarettes
or particles Of lint from your pocket
comb from getting into your cos
metics. Change the handkerchief In
your bag daily, even though the old
one doesn't look soiled. II you have
q cold, slip In one Of those dainty,
fiat packets of half-size tissues to
use as handkerchiefs.
Germs thrive on soiled powder
puffs. In fact. puts are the greatest
OF offenders In spreading and pro-
longing such distressing things as
acne. Puffs. when smoothed over
the shiny skin, absorb the oils and
body acids on which bacteria and
fungi thrive.
For your powder you may obtain
wool puffs that may be washed In
warm suds every night. or . supply
Of those little flannel rounds which
may be discarded after each using.
An even newer idea for applying
powder is one Of those silky rubber
sponge rounds, which may be
washed In soapsuds every night.
Fluffs Of cotton which may be dis
carded are another suggestion.
Scrub Utensils
Brushes and combs are often
anything but daisy fresh. They
ought to be washed daily. Actually
the operation doesn't take but few
seconds. Just swish brushes through
warm suds to which q few drops Of
disinfectant have been added. Rinse
