ties and you'll agree with her. Per-
Sonally, she has no envy OF young
sterS in their teens and twentles.
Their charm is youth, and we all
have the same chance at that, so
why try to grab more than nature
allows you? The charm OF the wo-
man of 40, on the other hand, is the
result Of intelligence, experience,
wit, and good grooming. And 1t
keeps on growing, right to the end,
if you let it!
OF course, you cannot suddenly
decide on your fortieth birthday
that YOU are going to be a beauty.
Not if you've been n~eglecting your
hair and skin and figure for 20
years. All the creams and soaps and
masks in the world can't give you
glamour then. If you have given
your face and your figure reason
able care, however; If you have
done a few simple exercises daily
and have. eaten sensibly, you have
a good foundation to work on.
Face Has Character
The years have probably taken
away the angular thinneSS OF youth
and have given you attractive
curves instead. if you have con-
trolled your appetite and your lazi-
ness.
Your face now has more charac-
ter. It is a page which tells a faScl-
mating story, not just a pretty but
blank piece of paper. And you have
the tolerant wisdom which comes
from experience - that is, II you
have kept your eyes and mind open
and your emotions alive. Don't lg-
more these assets, or worse yet, re-
pudiate them!
Miss Moore agrees with beauty
experts who say that special creams
are needed now. Skin is drier, so
o need more and richer oils for 1t.
Cold water may not be enough to
restore the tone" now. so use an
astringent after your treatments
are concluded. One OF the many ex-
cellent masks on the market Will
help freshen and firm the skin, too.
Massage, five minutes every night,
will stir up a sluggish circulation.
Exercise is needed, too, for the
entire body. But here you should
follow doctors orders. Don't try TO
stimulate circulation by playing
several sets of tennis. Leave that for
the youngsters. This is the time for
long walks, riding, swimming. Take
all of them easy in the beginning.
don't dash pell-mell into them. You
are no longer a tomboy!
Vitamins for Health
Eat your way to health and
beauty, is another bit OF advice she
offers. Vitamins are the fountain of
youth for which Ponce de Leon
searched in vain. Scientists are
making sensational discoveries
about the vitamin B complex in
particular. They find that rats grow
old and gray in a brief time when
deprived Of it. When restored to the
diet, the same rats become black
and glossy again. Gratifying results
have been obtained with human
guinea pigs" BY all means try the
vitamin B foods, unpublished rice,
bran, wheat germ, meats like KID
neys. brains, liver, yeast, leafy green
vegetables like kale and mustard
e This is one type OF "medl-
cine" you cannot overdo.
Grace has always believed in a
minimum Of makeup. She finds
that rather than disgusting age,
heavy foundations and powders add
years. We all know the g%roteSQue
results of too much rouge or lipStick
for the older woman, but eye
shadow and mascara must be even
more carefully applied TO get the
best results.
Don't make the mistake OF shop
ping for the same kind OF clothes
YOU have always worn. You may
feel the same inside, but your figure
is different and you must wear diff
ferent clothes. You can be more in
~teresting now. While in general
clothes should be well-cut and dig
nified, you a wear classic drapy
things that the younger woman
cannot wear. Finally. Miss Moore
says, don't be afraid. Face faults
squarely. remedy them senSibly
take advantage OF your experience
by admitting 1t and using it-anc
keep busy.
