WhyGrow
Old?
By Josephine Lowman

The skin is classified as an organ
of the body because its functions are
essential in maintaining body health
The way we care for the skin is i'm
portant not only because of health
but because of beauty and the pro-
longation of youthful appearance.
The skin is made up of severa,
thin layers; the epidermis, or out
side, dead, horny layer; the corium
the inner layer, and the underneath
layer of fatty tissue. In the skin we
find the sebaceous glands and the
sweat glands. The epidermis, OF
outermost coating, renews itself con-
tinually and this is a fortunate state
of affairs because this protective
covering is subject to wind, sun
and dirt. These surface cells are
shed more rapidly in youth than
in age
The function of the sebaceous
gland is to lubricate the skin, but
these glands become less active as
we grow older and this, plus changes
of temperature, weathering proc
esses, the dirt and foreign matter
to which our epidermis is subjected
all tend to lead to an extremely dry
condition. We must combat this by
cleansing and supplementing the
natural oils if we are to defeat the
aging effect of very dry skin. We
can readily see the necessity of
giving our compilations greater care
as We grow older since the outer
layer sloughs oil more slowly and
the glands which lubricate are less
active.
There are a great many types and
kinds of creams. There are many
good rich night creams. These are
rich in oil content and some are so
penetrating they can be applied and
allowed to soak in for 80 minutes
before going to bed at night. After
ward the surplus can be wiped off
so that you do not have to sleep
all creased up.
Another of the newer angles on
the cosmetic front is the daytime
base which is especially planned for
dry skins. Makeup is applied over
this and it provides the mild lub-
rication which the dry skin de-
mands during daytime activity.
When you apply your creams you
should avoid stretching the skin by
massage. One widely-known cos
metic line suggests that creams
should be worked into the face with
a nibbling action which they liken
to the motion a rabbit makes when
munching lettuce leaf. You spread
the cream gently over the face, after
you have cleansed it, and then nibble
the cream into the face, using the
fingers and the thumb.
Those stole ladies who go through
life without the use of creams are
certainly braver than I am!

Coating" to Josephine Lowman in

Her work week is seven days long

this, however, does not mean a

Dancer at Home
By Marion Atkins

NEW YORK.-You would hardly
expect a young ballet dancer tc
turn her back on the traditional
in home furnishings as sharply as
does pretty Marina Svetlova, prin-
ciple ballerina of the Metropolitan
Opera Co., particularly when she
admits that her favorite role is the
Dance of the Hour" from the
opera, LA Gioconda," and not the
doll-princess in Strovinski's "Pe.
trouchka."
Nor would you expect an imagina-
tive young woman of the theater to
be as practical in her choice OF
home appointments as is Miss Svet-
Iowa, who, beside being a very great
artist, is a good business woman
managing her own small company
on concert tour during the sum-
mer.
The modern furnishings of her
small apartment home were de-
signed by Miss Svetlova long be-
fore her apartment became a re-
ality, she states, for it is from
sketches which she made while
travelling almost around the world
that the furniture was built. II
wanted furniture that was simple,
had good lines and if possible,
would fold up like card table SO
that it could be moved easily and
would fit into almost any space

ideas, he threw up his hands in

up of shelves-the top one about
6 inches higher than the dressing

Being sitter myself, I can keep

hour after midnight This should
seem fairly reasonable in compar-

CONSERVATION HINTS.

Here are couple of suggestions
for your food-conservation depart

Save every little ounce of baby's

puddings. 1t gives them an extra
zip. Does any one have any other
ideas for using it?
