(2) Do not put too many fritters in the fat at once, or you may lower Is temperature. If necessary,—fry two or three lols, rather than spoil all. The fritters done first can be kept hot on a dish or iray at the entrance to the oven.

(8) Drain the fritters well on kitchen paper before serving them.

Make-up

Rules

I

T is possible to work wonders with your face if you understand the technique of applying make-up. You should, however, be on familiar terms with the correct routine.

Here are the nine rules you should remember. Cut them out and paste them on n cardboard for reference.

1

It is essential that she skin is freshly cleaned. If the skin is normal wash with complexion soup, lukewarm water and a rubber sponge.

If the skin is dry clean with cleansing milk on a pad of cotton wool. Sponge off thoroughly with cool water.

If the skin is oily rinse with cool water, and apply a skin treshener on a pad of cotton wool.

2

Apply small dah of powder foundation cream to forehead, cheeks, chin and nose. Blend away from centre of face with the fingertips until the cream seems to disappear. For olly complexions apply foundation lotion. Dab small portion with cotton wool on forehead, cheeks, chin and nose. Blend lightly with Ongertips. Wipe off surplus with cleaning tissuc.

3

Apply eye shadow to upper lid only, blending very lightly with Angertips up towards eyebrow, out towards the corner of the aye.

4

If cream rouge is used apply this with the fingertips before powdering. Place three or four little dots over the part of the check you wish to rouge, then blend lightly with your fingertips until the edges fade into the natural colove of your checks. Be careful to apply exactly the sarae quantity on ench cheek, and in exactly the same position on each check.

I compact rouge is used this is applied with a small rouge pad after powdering.

5.

Never rub powder on the face. If you use a velvet or lamba' wool powder puff pat the powder on the face. If you use a swansdown puff, dip this in the powder, shake out alightly and dust over the face.

Start by powdering the chin, then the checks, nose, and last the fore- head. Take a clean piece of cheese cloth, a soft tissue or a powder brush, and wipe off all surplus powder. Dip cheese cloth in clean water and wipe powder off eyelashes and eyebrows.

6

If eyebrow pencil is used, sketch eyebrows in with small, light strokes. If eyebrow pencil is not used the eyebrows should be brushed with a special brush kept for this purpose.
