DANCE DRESS REVEALS BLEMISHES
By Marion Morton
IF you count dancing among your major hobbles-or indeed if you ever dance at all, and most of us do that then we have to remember one fact especially when we are prac- lising our general beauty regime, howover scanty it maybe.
Backs and shoulders are much in evidence. One is often forced to realise that if only all women looked at their backs in a double mirror they would certainly either try to improve them or else invariably cover them up altogether.
Stand Up
FTEN, however, it is the result of bad posture and lack of exercise. If you hold yourself properly your back may immediately fall into really lovely lines. And if you re- member always to keep your shoul- der blades straight, walst where it should be and your neck properly poised, then these lovely lines will
remain.
Attractive backs are always smooth and evenly textured, with a fine, soft skin- state of affairs which does not necessarily arrive without help from the Indy herself.
Backs are rather diffeult to treat oneself, but much may be done with the help of a rubber patter on a long handle, and a bath brush.
Shoulders
THE THERE are lotions which give a

And do be sure to use a make-up which doesn't constantly need re- newing. A liquid powder foundation lation is useful for skins that are apt to get moist. Noses which insist upon Shining must be treated with an anti-shine lolion which will mend matters,

Roll out the pastry, cut into rounds with a large cutter or saveer, place two teaspoonfuls of the mixture on each, wet the edges, fotd over and press the edges together
Brush over with beaten egg, and bake for 15 to 20 minutes in a hot oven. Before serving sprinkle with Anely chopped parsley.
