P S,bsJBy OT Yhe MgsJ Famous Living -Beauty K'fiSv CAVALIERI 9f9 DAYS WHEN YOU O DON'T LOOK WELL ' THERE ure days when, no mat-liu" mat-liu" -with what oeauty tho world has credited us, we shrink from the image our mirrors fling back at us. One of your American Amer-ican novelists, told how transceu-dently transceu-dently lovely a typewriter girl looked at times to her employer, who was fulling iu love with her, and how plain and insignificant to others. oth-ers. The author was a bachelor. Nevertheless he knew that women arc like the moon. In the tirst quarter quar-ter both give but a hint of tbelr full attractiveness. There are days when wo ook our best, days when we look our worst, and intermediate days. On . the days when we don't look ' well we usually are not well. Our most imperative need uc auch tlmw is rest. Tho girl who goes early to hed and sleeps round the clock, or nt least for uiue or ten hours, awakes feeling and looking better. This is an object lesson in tho truth that to loulc well we must feel well, and to feel well we must be so. Many a woman has lamented her going off and wept farewell tours to departing youth when really what she needed was an extra hour's sleep every night for a week. There are secondary aids that as. sist this primary one In the work of making the most of our appearauc on the days when we are not looklns well. Perhaps all the weariness and list lessuess and hopelessness of your mood seems to settle lu your eyes. They look pale and dull and old. and tho eyelids look dark and wrinkled and lifeless. You can livon both by placing a witch hazel bandage over them. To avoid questions aa to what a witch hazel bandage Is let me explain now. that It Ig a piece of muslin folded several times and caturated with witch hazel. Lay this loosely over the eyes for as leng a time as circumstances cir-cumstances will permit. If the bandp.ge dries moisten It again with witch hazel. i'crhaps the sklr of your face la very pale, as though evory drop of blood had been drained from It. and the fact that your stock of vigor Is below par is shown by the dry texture tex-ture and loosex condition of your skin. Refresh it by giving It a cologne hath. Pour a few drops of cologne over a piece of gauzo and pat the face lightly with it. This will cox the blood quickly to the surface. Or soak a square piece of flannel In olive oil and piace it over the face. The skin absorbs this oil, and In a short time looks much fresher. Should you, despite your tired, bloodless aspect, have to be seen In public, bathe the face In tepid water, using handfuls of almond meal, wet with a few drops of benzoin instead of coop. Then dash cold water upon the face. This soo.n calls back the color that has forsaken for-saken the visage. If on this bad day of yourc you arc chocked at the appearance of a new network cf fine linen about the eyes and lips, don't fancy they have come to stay. Lie down, relax your muscles and rest as completely as possible. During the last half of this rest pat cold cream into the parts of the face where the tired lines appeared, then clowly iron them away in the opposite direction from that in which they appeared. Rub horizontal lines In a perpendicular direction, and vice versa. If your lips are pale, massage them gently, using cold cream freely on them to bring back their color. If ;-ou aro forced to be mingled with others while you feel "dead tired" don't allow the muscles of your face to sag or your eyes to grow listless Recall your best expression, summon It. and keep It m the words of the stage folk when the curtain rises a second time upon an effective tableau, "hold the picture.'
