QFFERQ ROUTINE FUR DRE . y SKIN

By LOIS Lanna

' For your special problem mod- ern science has developed dry skin creams which have two notable ‘IGHIUIBS that make them helpful in softening that parchment-like skin. Flst, they contain lanolin. the oil which is most like the ofls of your own skin. Second. the creams are homogenized, which means that they are mixed under ‘tremendous pressure. This breaks up the particle; of oil into micro- scopic globules, which can sink more easily iiito those dry we layers of skin. They do a really thorough 10b of lubrication. _ Now for your special d1‘? l!!! routine. Night is the best time 1J1‘ ythis. First. cleanse thoroughly with lcold cream, patting it in weh. {when you wipe it off with a tis- pus the stale makeup and grime _o with it. Follow this by splash- ig on skin freshener.

ward and outward movement. Do this while your skin is slippery with the cream. Do the same with any lines that hint at show- ing across the forehead.

While the circulation is pinking your face, hop into the tub. The heat of the water steams in the cream. giving you the home equiv. alent of a salon face treatment. After your bath, run your finger- tips over your skin. 1f there is a thin film of cream left, then your skin has reached the point. it has absorbed all that can take. film if you wish but it is mlid helpful to leave it on overnight.

NEW YORK —Chiff0n. s. “hat- ural" for summer and perfect the year around, is more plentiful tliis season. One designer shows its filminess to advantage in a sim- ply-styied dress finely pleated as over and gathered in to the waist- line with a Jeweled belt. Another uses a hand-painted chiffon for another beautiful dress. the full skirt shaped over a taffeta pet- tleoat, and the small-looking bo- dice squared across the top to shoulder-cap sleeves.

The accent of gold is everywhere from casual gold sandals for do,’- time wear to belts, purses. danc- ihg shoes and gold glints in cot- inn-i.

MIRROR STUDY HEVEALS clpnn .

The woman with a mature fig- ure should study her mirrored back view in the clothes she plans to buy. Prom this angle she needs tc be as critical as she is when appraising her appearance from the front if lho wants uniform figure flattery.

A waistband, for example. which appears properly placed in front. may be too short when seen from the back_ Such a defect in 11'. tends to emphasize s. hip span, The slight alteration required to lower the waistline is well worth the time or money involved in creating more slimming proper tions in a dress.

Flared peplums. bows and bust- les visible in a rear view apprais- al, may be offenders that add inches to figure size by fore-stiort- ehing the back line. If that's the case. dresses with these touches should be passed by in favor of toga with no confusing back de- tails. Shorts, for example. whici. flare just below the hipline or with back centre pleats stitched fiat over the hips are better choi- ces of style.

Another point to check is the fit across shoulders. Dresses cul. full across the bosom may offer a skimpy fit across the back. The danger to watch for here is fabric pull_ Fabric may be pulled into horizontal creases by the strain on shoulder and side seams. Tms “about-to-burst" effect serve: to point up figure size.

For Friday, August 27

WHILE there is sign of a con- gestion, postponement or other iin- pediment. seeming to prove tena- cious nnd disheartening, a condi- tion that might be attributable to the withdrawal of support f.0rn prominent places, the situation is not hopeless There is a very en- couraigng nspmt in which an adrcit and gracious use of the fac- tors of ycutli. ehavrn. wit, perhaps social prestige may break down ob- stacles. Adjustments may: be made. aided and abetted by patience and application.

Those whose birthday it is, may be able to batter down opposition, stagnation or lack of cooperation. by a tactful and judicious mani- pulation of the purely personal ele- meht. If soelali Cllltlllfil, youthful or mental strategies it might be possible to melt static situations and recapture promised assistance. Social gestures. entertainment. or j-ust. pleasant approach could “move mountains" in a dilemma.

A child hum on this day may gain much headway‘ against lagging or thwarted interests by a tactful and judicious manipulation of per- sonality, charm, or cultural graces.

Marriage Partners invite Disaster By Ranging 0n ftnmpanlonslilp

Ono of tho curious things about marriage is that so few husband-l and wives make the slightest effort to be entertaining companion: to This is one of the phenomenons of the holy estate that is hard to understand, for surely intelligent men do not deliberately pick out Dumb Doras for wives, nor do gay and clever women knowing-

ly select grim girouches with whom to spend the balance of their lives. Moreover it. is a matter of common knowledge

couple never run out of conversation. spend hours upon top of hours asking each other: "Do'you love me? in the world to you? Would you die of grief if I should be run over by an automobile, or fail out of an airplane?" . Yet after marriage only too often they pass into the silence and have nothing to say to each other, unless they can find a good topic to fight over. Few thinE-S B" more pathetic than an evening at home. with nobody saying a. word. ani the husband and wife sitting up in a gloom so thick you could We are all familiar with this sight. and also with the almost hysterical joy with which they greet any visitor who may drc-p ir. and break up the boredom and set the tongues wagging.

STARVED F01‘! GOOD TALK

New, strangely enough, the very husbands and wives who starve their mates for companionship would be shocked at the mere idea of Father works his fingers to the bone to feezl his family on filet mignoh, and Mother makes a burnt offering of herself cocking things to Father's taste, and apparently neither one realizes that what is making them lose their taste for each other is because they have ceased making their conversation a. savory dish that will pique the othei-‘s appetite, and keep him or her asking for more.

So we have the dreary hemes to which a tired man dreads to come at night, for well he knows that his wife is just waiting to begin her monologue about everything unpleasant that has happened during the day. from the price of butchers’ meat and the baby breaking his pet pipe. and Mrs. So-and-So not inviting her to her cocktail party, to Mama's letter saying she is coming for a nice, long visit, until the poor, hadgered man gets butterflies in his stomach.

Or, perhaps, it is the other way around and the husband is one of the men who only grunts when he is spoken to; who would die the death before he would tell an interesting bit. of news. or what he had done, or where he had been. and who is about as thrilling to live with as a store dummy. Can anyone wonder that the thousands of women who spend their dreary days in baby-tending and cooking and washing and scrubbing, and who are_ unfortunate enough to be mar- ried ‘.0 men who never even say a. kind word to them, grow bitter and

RECHARGING YOUR. BATTERY- BRAIN AND NERVES

The story is tcid of a scotch clergyman who, in the midst o1 some disagreement in his congrg. Ration which made him an object of much citiclsm, nevertheless seemed to be his good-humoreil self. When asked how he could carry on with his regular work, eat. and sleep well. he stated. "The will; and children are well. This enables me to face my work and difficul- ties_"

In comparing the body to an automobile, we compare the brain, nerves and emotions to the batteiy and wires which start and, to some extent, control the automobile and all its running parts.
