TENNIS AND BOWLING CARNIVAL AT TAURANGA

On Wednesday afternoon and evening the members of the Tauranga South Tennis and Bowling Club held a carnival in their grounds. This progressive club has much to be proud of, for during the four years of its existence it has made its site one of the beauty spots of Tauranga. Its setting by the sea is enhanced by its lovely gardens. On Wednesday they were further bedecked with gay bunting. Booths were erected, tennis and bowling competitions were arranged, and a “bring and buy” afternoon attracted a large number of people. The main committee were Mrs. W. J. Baigent, Mrs. C.

LAUGHTER LINES AND FROWN WRINKLES

! “But laugliter lines do not spoil the I appearance like ugly frowning wrinkles,” said a famous beauty specialist, referring to the little lines which form at the sides and beneath the eyes. Laughter. lines are mostly found on those expressive faces that smile with the eyes as well as the lips. But that they are “nice” is open t,o doubt, for no woman likes lines, nice or otherwise, appearing on her face. REMOVING LAUGHTER LINES Laughter lines are difficult to remove, for the simple reason that they form again and again each time they are smoothed out. Therefore, the ordinary treatment given to other kinds of wrinkles is never really successful. What is required is a mixture of emollient and astringent, and this, the beauty specialist informed me, is best obtained by a mixture of white of egg and lemon juice. Separate the white from the yolk of an egg, and put it in a basin. Add the juice from a lemon, and beat the two together till a stiff froth is' obtained. Cleanse the skin with warm water and a good soap. Wipe dry, and with the tip of j the middle finger apply the mixture to the corners of the eyes and immediately beneath them. Do not rub it in, merely spread it over the skin, allowing it to dry on. Apply at night and leave till next morning. Remove by sponging with warm' water, flattened with a lew drops of simple tincture of benzoin. FROWNING WRINKLES These need quite different treatment. Cream, and plenty of it, must be applied to feed the tissues beneath the lines. The constant contracting of the skin by the act of drawing the eyebrows together in a frown weakens the tissues, which must be nourished by the application of a good feeding cream. Sponge the skin with hot water to open the pores and make them receptive to the cream. Spread it liberally over the space between the eyebrows and allow to soak- in for several minutes. When as much as possible has been absorbed massage the skin with the tip of the first finger. rubbing round and round over the space between the eyebrows. It is best to do this at night and leave some of the cream on the skin till next morning. In the morning wash off and sponge with very cold water for several minutes.
