You must have heard often enough how

good massage is for your face. But if you haven't the time or the purse to go in for a course of facials at a beauty parlour maybe you have stopped listening. What you should do is to give yourself your own. face massage. And do it like the experts do; vague patting and rubbing does less than no good. These diagrams show you where your face muscles need stimulating;

Your eyes are an important nerve centre. A good massage here will always help a headache, soothe any jittery feel. inge. Press the first two fingers of your hande into your templca, in a line with the corners of your eyes, and gently massage round and round,

To take the linca off your forehead smooth your fingers away from the centre of your forehead, good and hard. Do that several times, slowly.

captions tell you how to go about it. Do it regularly for a couple of weeks-and you will find your skin looks far fresher, smoother, and has lost any tired lines.

First you must give your face a thorough' clean. Then dip the finger tips of both hands in a soft pliable cream; spread it over your face and neck, and you are ready for your massage. Repeat each exercise several times.

Fruit Tarts

THE more juicy fruit tarts are the better are they liked, as long as the juice has not bolled over and spoil the crust. To prevent this, damp the edges of the pastry, with milk instead of water when the tart Is being made in a pie-dish.

If it is a flat kind cooked on a plate or in a shallow tin, sprinkle

tour and caster sugar over the bot- tom of the pastry before adding the fruit. This prevents a "soggy" base.

home, and apart from its use as a sweetener, can be utilised in countless ways.

First of all, sugar is a splendid pick-me-up. If you are feeling tired and exhausted, dissolve a lump of sugar in a tumbler of hot water. It acts as a stimul- ant.

A little sugar added to the water in which green vegetables are boiled will improve their colour without destroying the vitamins as so many water softeners do. Sugar also im proves the flavour of boiled carrots, turnips, &c. Should soup be ac cidentally over-salted, a little sugar stirred into it will counteract the $flavour.

A layer of granulated sugar placed in the bottom of a biscuit tin will keep biscuits crisp, no matter how long they are stored, and a lump of sugar put in a metal ten- pot before putting it away will pre- vent any musty flavour when it is used again.

Coloured sugar for decorating cakes, puddings, &c., can be made cheaply and easily at home. Put the required amount of lumpa in a basin and pour over them fow drops of cochineal or any other similar dye. When the colour has soaked well through them, store the sugar in an air-tight tin. They can be grated with a nutmeg grater over cakes and sweets.

In laundry work sugar is excel- lent for things that need slight starching. A fow lumps dissolved in the last rinsing water for inces, muslina, and silks, gives just the right amount of stiffness for these fabrics.

A little augar melted in liquid stove polish will result in a brilliant i and lasting polish in half the time, and consequently with half the labour.
