The Reflection Shows Milady Some Beauty Points

Here are a few hints on how and your best points better. Ev< TO make a marcel last longer, don't ■brush your hair too hard, and point the teeth of- the comb upwards while combing the hail*, at the same time pressing each wave back into place with your finger. At night, pin the. ends securely and wear a net cap, although you may hate the sight of yourself In one. It will pay m the long run. Straight fine hair may be successfully arranged around curlers, if one takes care that the hair is placed flat and riot twisted, or fuzziness and breaking will result. Although there is no sure treatment that will bring about white teeth, brushing with a little peroxide will help considerably. Buy a good tooth brush \and change it often, for some dentists say that one a month is not too often to change. The dentist should be visited every three months, and, of course, should be seen at the first suspicion that. all is not well m the mouth. ..... Looking- over the animated birds' nests that are doing their best' to be well-dressed heads , of^hain in -the; stalls- ' and -circle -Of ',£tny^ theatre, .; ; we are^ forced :tb the"' i cpriclusiph';thati.:;it is an urtwise thing to wave the hair unless one:.;is' convinced that' -it; would be ah improvement. Some locks do not take kindly : 'to *wavihg,',ahd take their resentment of the treatment but m being horribly frizzy. And if you do have it waved, don't have one of those ': palpably artificial marcels, straight and symmetrical,, but one of the natural waves that really are becoming. Hair that is too fine does not take to a permanent wave. with any degree of

Straight hair cut m a fringe, or a page cut, something after the Maxfield Parrish children, is very becoming to any face, and can always be brushed into smooth and glossy neatness. Feminine beauty sometimes wobbles badly at the knees. Many girls have pretty legs as far as the knees and thighs, but from then on they become ugly and scrawny. If you happen to be cursed from birth with wobbly knees, do not on any account wear garters, as they have a devastating effect' of bringing the knobs more into prominence. .Garters, as a matter 'of fact, ifworn persistently, wear ugly dents • above the knees, pushing the flesh down over the knee in> a ridge and breaking what be a lovely ■. . long. line from knee to thigh. '•..'■ ■ Garters; may ..also prove a contributory cause of varicose veins, and be a source of danger to the circulation. .' Dressing the neck is another item that should be attended to with care. If the neck isihin, .pr ; e.tty ; collars should; be worn, but if it is short and fat there ' are three things, to be avoided — round necks, .. bateau . necks . and .high collars tied under the- chin.- ~- - Very; long necks look better with a knot of hair at the back instead of a shingle or bob. , One has seen chokers looking very nice on the thick neck, but their place is really on the swan-like neck beloved of Victorian poets. Double strands of pearl or crystal are suitable for the short, fat neck, and large amber beads, fat pearls and all kinds of colored beads for the thin neck.
