With 20 minutes 10 yourself you
can do the following: Spray deli
Cately scented eau de Cologne or
toilet water generously over your
body. then blot of the excess mois-
ture with q bath towel Dust with
powder and put on clean stockings,
bra. slip and girdle-if you have a
spare. You'll feel cool and clean and
pleasantly fragrant, even though
you haven't had time for bath.
1t Stimulates Skin
Your next step is TO moisten
pad Of cotton in ice water or skin
tonic, whichever happens to be
handler, then dip 1t into Jar OF
cleansing cream. Spread quickly
over face and throat. One Of the
special summer cleansing creams
that smell like mint and leave the
skin with a cool, tinCling sensation
would be good for this purpose, as
it is mildly stimulating, too. Leave
on the skin while you lay out the
dress you expect TO wear or give the
hands a quick inspection. Now wipe
of the excess cream, pat again with
cold water or skin tonic and the
face is ready for makeup.
Slip a band over your hair or pin
a towel over it before you put on
makeup so cream or powder does
not lodge in the hair. A liquid pow
der foundation is grand for even
ingS, especially when the weather is
warm. Apply cream rouge first.
blending K sparingly into the clean
soft skin, then use a little OF the
powder foundation, blending it a
little at a time over the entire face.
When it has dried, powder literally
and remove the excess with clean
cotton.
Use a clean mascara brush TO re-
move powder from eyelaSheS and
brows. Now darken the broWs
slightly with pencil and, because 1t
is quick, use eyebrow and eyelaSh
grower, a brown cream that will
give the lashes body and gloss and
make the eyelidS luminous. This Is
better than putting on complete eye
makeup when you are in a hurry
because there will be no smudged
mascara or misplaced shadow TO
worry about.
Take that extra minute to put on
lipstick evenly and smoothly. Put
on your dress and place a SmoCk or
makeup cape over your shoulders
while you give your hair a quick,
vigorous brushing and arrange your
curls. Spray them with bit Of the
Cologne you used for your minute

feet with eau de Cologne. Put on
fresh hose, and If possible different
shoes. Or try lying down for five
minutes with the feet propped up
on a pillow. Or. deliberately sit
down and sip a cup Of warm milk,
bouillon or tea. You have no idea
how soothing and refreshing these
simple measures can be. Try 1t be-
fore you remove and renew your
makeup and you'll get more opti-
mistic picture OF yourself.
Cold pads pressed over the eyes
for a few minutes are grand pick
ups. too. Use a soothing eye lotion
first so the eyes will be clear and
bright by the time you are ready TO
put on party makeup. Cleanse the
face first. If you wish, gauze mask

you rest.
Five minutes given 10 slow neck
exercises or 10 a gentle scalp mas
sage is a grand measure for releaS-
ing tense nerves and putting you IN
the mood for a party. Try any or all
OF these pickup measures. What
ever you do, allow enough OF your
precious minutes to do a really
smooth job OF putting on makeup.
Knowing that you look pretty. is in
itself beauty pickup
