BEAUTY

SOME people say that it is a dis- advantage to a business girl to he ravishingly pretty. This may he true, but it does not hold good with one of the most important aa pects of prettiness, which is an attractive skin. A good com. plexion has never done even the most efficient business girl any larm, while a bad one may easily rain her career, so it is worth while to give this matter a certain amount of attention. FOR THE DAYTIME

No girl who has to go to busi- nees early in the morning and work all day is able to go in for elaborate beauty treatments, but there are certain tips that make it much easier for her to keep her complexion in good form. Here is a daily treatment.

Give the face a thorough rinsing with cold water. This will freshen the skin and tone it up! The girl with a skin that is inclined to be dry should make up with a little cold cream or liquid cream as a base for her face powder, and the

The girls with dark skins usually find vanishing creams a suitable base for powder and a heavier powder more' serviceable.

COLD CREAM MASSAGE

Hurried meals are one sure, way of causing digestive troubles, aud it is very important to allow enqugh time for a comfortable un- hurried breakfast before you start off to work.

A girl who has time to eat a good breakfast can afford a light lun| cheon and a light tea, while if she has no time for breakfast she will lose her appetite by the time she gets home to dinner. So many girls are anemic and yet will not take the trouble to do anything. about it.

INEXPENSIVE CREAM

If only they realised how much an iron tonic or malt and cod liver oil would improve their complexions they would invest in a bottle and take it regularly.
