BEAUTY MARCHES ON
Charm, Poise and Dignity
"(By. "VL")
Many a homely girl has lived to hear, herself, described de a handsome woman. The fact is
that through a freckled child- hood, a gawky girlhood, an undis- tinguished middle age, her lack of the particular kind of pretti- ness that happened to be fash- jonable at the moment has spur- led her on to make herself as charming as she could. She has cultivated an alert and interest- ing mind. She'' has trained her- self to listen to talkative friends and to help the shy and tongue- tied gently over conversational shoals, and thus has endeared herself, to a wide circle, Because she was not born with beauty, she felt that she must make the most of what she had, and skin, Halt, dress, hands, and figure, have all had fastidious and a- telligent consideration. Conse- 'quently, when her hair turns" silver, she has the beauty of ma- turity-poise, dignity, broad in- terests, all reflected in à beauti- fully groomed" appearance.
I speak of this because mibst of us are born without excep- tional beauty, and it is comfort- ing to know that we can achieve distinguished looks in our later years, or even, as frequently hap pens, in the middle ones. How attractive we are as 'we' grow older depends partly, of course, upon the traits of mind and character we have cultivated, but do not let this undeniable fact minimisé the importance of beautiful hair, a healthy skin, a straight back, pleasant hands, and a good chin.
; Beauty Of White Hair * Because it is one of the chief beauties of the later years: shall begin with white hair. As rule, if the health is good, and the hair is thick and vital-looking. White hair needs frequent shám. pooing because dust and oil dis colour it easily. Any good soap or shampoo may be peed, but it must be most carefully rinsed out with warm water. The last rinse should contain blue to heighten the mowiness of the hair ordin- ary household blue is quite satis factory. The yellow tinge Which white hair is apt to get is due to the natural secretions of the scalp and is intensified by heat Therefore, great care should be taken to protect the hair from, hotrons. Even exposure to a
bright, hot sun will yellow. the hair. A soft arrangement around the fact, with especial care to prevent short hairs from sticking. uut at the nape of the neck, will set of the older face with e graciousness that no youthful coiffure could give.
Keeping A Young Skin As most
women grow older, they notice that their sklá be- comes dryer. Since dry skin gives way to wrinkles easily, a
le all is needed to keep the face and neck smooth and fresh- looking, Cleansing cream as well
as soap and water should be us-. ed and at night-or for an hour during the day, if you prefer a light, ally cream should be allow- ed to lubricate and soothe the over-dry tissues. I have little faith in wrinkle removers, except for a temporary effect. Wrinkles are caused primarily by the di appearance of fat from ̈ under- neath the tissues, arid of course It is impossible to replace this fat by outside applications. But the dally use of good preparátions to keep the skin Arm, stimulated, and well-olled will do much to keep an attractive, fresh, and healthy complexion, and fortun- ately elderly women have time to give to beauty.
The Figure Especially fortunate is the wo- man who approaches the sixties With trim

and well-poised Egure. Faults in the figure at this time of life-such as the 5-shaped back of the lump be- tween the shoulders which adds years to a woman's looks are hard to correct because they are the result of years of Door pos ture. However, the persistence. practice of corrective exercises will be beinful. If possible, they should be done under the guld- ance of an expert,
The wise older woman chooses a flattering shade of powder-ot too light in colour, but very Ane and light in weight so as not to accentuate the lines in the face-- and uses a faint touch of rouge on the cheeks to accent the white Fair and bring out the colour.or the eyes. Whether you Have been pretty all your life, or have grown. into beans with the years, it is worth while taking the trouble to be good-looking and well-groom- ed in life's autumn,
BEAUTY HINTS
THE WAY TO MASSAGE
I have a deep line between iny brows which is so ugly. Which
Is the best way of massaging a line of this kind?
When massaging a frown line the skin should be stretched be- tween the thumb and first finger of the left hand. Then, with the arst finger, of the other hand, covered with 'skin, food or wrinkle cream, massage across the wrink- le. Leave some of the cream on the skin all night, and in the morning remove with a pad of cotton-wool dipped in witch hazel. or a special astringent lotion.
A FAT SPOT
Through sitting badly, I suppo se, I have developed a pad of fat just at the back of my neck. Would massage help matters, and If so should I have to have this done professionally or could I manage to do it myself?
You should be able to massage away the deposit of fat quite reducing medium and firm pres easily, providing you use & good
sure from the tips of your fingers, In addition to using a rotary movement, you should also pinch and knead the flesh between your Angers.
NOSE TO MOUTH LINES
I am thirty-five, and nose to mouthes are beginning to inake their appearance. Can you suggest the right course for me to take?
Here a special exercise for. the lines you mention, and one that can be practised every day. to great advantage: hold the buth related, then slowly drop" the jaw until there is about an Inch of space between the lips. Now push out the ps until they form a hard, tight circle. Hold this position for a few seconds, then draw in the torners of the mouth tightly and slowly close the lips until they are breased tightly together. Hold for a second or two, and then relax the mouth Ropbat this twenty times. Before starting this exer- cise you should smear on a little skin food......
