Beauty and Foot Comfort. If you want to look lovely for the race festivities ahead don't . forget such important details as a facial and manicure. You won’t be in the pink of perfection if these are overlooked. And for those who have not time for a full hair setting there is that delightful fragrant Chatelet Frictions, especially prepared for the hair. It renders the hair responsive to the lightest touch and easier to set than with sticky liquids. It gives a pleasing sense of fine grooming. And you certainly cannot enjoy the races if your feet are not fit. Besides, a limp is obvious and spoils the smart ensemble. These troubles can be successfully treated at Catherine EnWright’s Beauty Parlours, Ridgway Street, opposite Post Office. Telephone 2458.
