TITIVATING FOR OCCASIONS

QUICK CHANGE" BEAUTY TREATMENT

j Many women have no time to j ! bother about their looks from day to I I day, which is a pity, tor a settled J treatment of the hair and complexion iis much more effective than a lasti minute “titivating" for some special j occasion. However, here are some | hints which will be helpful to the busy woman when she feels that, for once, she must look her best. The skin is usually the greatest trouble. It has lost its freshness, and • is mottled with the dark patches which result from lack of air and sunlight. | The first essential is to wash in warm water, and to tone up the circulation by a dash of cold water. Then run in a good vanishing cream, and follow : this up with a paste made by sifting two teaspoonfuls of talc powder into two teaspoonfuls of glycerine, stirring all the time. This paste should be applied to the face, neck and arms, left j for a time, and wiped off with a soft j towel. Enough will remain to conceal the “mottles” and face-powder j can then be applied as usual, j It is a great mistake to take aspirin : tablets if you feel tired and “headachey” when dressing to go out in ,{ the evening. The effect is calming, ' but it makes the mind lethargic, and it i is useless to expect to look fresh i when feeling dull and heavy. It is ! far better to take sal volatile, which j has a reviving effect, and to rub : frozen eau de Cologne behind the j ears. When the hair has gone straight in the course of the day, and there is no time to have it properly waved, sidei curls or a front wave on the forehead i can be made while dressing, Moisten [ the hair with water in which a little sugar has been melted. Then wind it round hairpins, and leave thus until the last moment. The slight stickiness makes the hair stay in curl all the evening. Stains may he removed from the hands by rubbing with pumice-stone dipped in table salt and moistened with lemon juice. Salt and lemon will also whiten the teeth and make them shine.

Don’t overdo games and exercise generally, such as golf, tennis and swimming, until you are tired out, for that means you are encouraging wrinkles.
