Towels which have been used and then dried and used again are often the cause of rash production. If a clean towel cannot be had after every bath it is a simple matter to swill through the used towel in clean water and hang out to dry. It will then be safe to use again.

Tho acid perspiration itself makes the skin sore; a cold shower les food for closing the pores and preventing undue excretion..

Compact or cream rouge can be used, but powder should be applied with a light hand. Eyes and Noses:

EYES are not the only things that run in a fog; noses run, too. Both these features need different treat- ment on a cold and foggy morning from the kind they get on a nice fine day.

A tiny speck of special nose cream should be well rubbed into the nose before powdering it, and it will undoubtedly save your face if you take the pre- caution of carrying a tube of the cream in your handbag- so that running repairs can be carried out after one of those very necessary "good blows."

Eye make-up is risky when there is fog about. Instead of eye-shadow, brighten up the lids with a smear of oil or vaseline, and brush the lashes with a little oil or dark brown eyelash cream.
