There's nothing like the beauty of a healthy, attractive skin to give beauty to a woman or a teen-age- r. With glowing countenance, she can face any situation confidently and be certain that she is giving a good impression. You cannot work miracles Jn a week or two If skin is a problem, but you can make a great improvement with care. If you have good skin, you can make it even more of an a asset by trying a new make-up- , new freshness. Holidays are a good time to start because they're an incentive to looking our best. Skin care started now may be just the thing you need to carry you through the whole year. Check over your diet list first. If yours includes tdb many rich foods, your skin may be breaking out constantly, and this is impossible to control with external care. 'Delete the rich foods and you'll notice great improvement In a week. Skin will benefit from a balanced diet that's rich in fruit and vegetables with simple dressings and seasonings, Include milk, eggs and a moderate amount of protein foods such as meat in place of the sweets Gift Memo splashing the face vigorously. Since this type of skin is already oily, cream or oil need not be used after washing. If you are looking for a very mild soap, choose one which has nonirritating perfume as well as soap In which fats and alkali have been combined carefully so there is no excess of the alkalL Enhance Natural Beauty With Sensible Make-U- p Is a normal procedure in making the face more attractive than it would be without it. Heavy make-u- p is not essential or even recommended, but something of the art of bringing out the natural skin beauty is of benefit to every woman. A slight blush in the cheeks, so slight that you hardly notice it, brings more color to the eyes, for example. A touch up to the lips will prevent them from having that faded look which all but few have. Heavy shine, too, is worth some effort in combatting for somehow this makes pores seem larger and contours unflattering. You may use a foundation plus powder, or what is newer, a combination make-u- p that is dry but gives you foundation and powder at the same time.

Exercise Exercise is something else you -- should watch if you want to have good skin. Though it may seem a bit remote at first thought, exercise is as essential to skin beauty as eanliness, diet and rest. When you get some vigorous exercise everyday, you not only stir the circulation, but you perspire more freely. Perspiration stimulates skin action and thus frees the pores of surface dirt,, and this means that you can wash away skin impurities and dead cells more readily. You don't have to take special courses to get the proper exercise, although these are recommended if you have the time. If you dont, then reorganiz- e- wha tever you do, so that it will .amount to exercise. As you make the beds, move around the bed freely, turn the mattress, fluff pillows and tuck the covers underneath, do all these things briskly. When you walk, to shopping or just around the house doing your work, don't dawdle. Stand up straight, walk energetically breathe deeply. Youll be doing this not only because its good for you, but also because youll be more attractive. When you stand properly and breathe deeply, your blood circu lates more freely, and your whQle body, including your skin, will respond to this care. If at all possible, take some form of bath after vigorous exercise. You will have perspired freely, which is to the good, but if you don't wash away the impurities, the pores of all-ov- er rfnotrrigrtiWftf-rri- i MARGARET IN VIDEO DEBUT . . .

' impurities which would otherwise tend to clog the pores. A tub or shower bath may not always be possible because you lack the facilities, the hot water or the warm room in winter. This doesnt mean you should skip the bath. You can always get enough heat and heat enough hot water to take one of the other types of baths which, properly, administered, will give you as much cleanliness as the tub or shower. Consider. the sponge or the towel bath when you cant get into a whole tub or running shower. You can take a sponge bath in as little as a quart of water. You may want to use more, but its possible to get clean in that small amount. Place the water in a basin or pan, and stand yourself on a washable towel or rug. Dip a washcloth in the water and rub it over a bar of soap. Work up a good lather. Starting with the face, go over the whole body with the soapy doth. Rinse the washcloth in dear water anu wipe off all traces of soap. Rinse out the cloth a second time and repeat the treatment again so no soap is left. Follow with a brisk rub with a dry, absorbent towel. The towel bath is a modification of the sponge bath, and may be used if you dont have a basin handy. It is often used if you are just getting over a cold and dont want to eximmersion pose yourself to in water. Soak the turkish towel in mild, warm suds and go over the whole body. Rub hard. Rinse the towel thoroughly in clear water and go over all the area. Follow this, too, with a brisk rub with a dry towel. All Types of Skin Need Soap Cleansing " Cream cleansing is advised for skin, but not to the neglect of soap and water. There are such skins which react unwillingly to the overuse of toomuch soapand water, but even then this type of cleaning should not be neglected Choose only a very mild soap for facial cleaning. Use lukewarm wa ter and work a good lather out of soap which is to be applied to the face quickly and lightly. Rinse this off, promptly. Dry thoroughly and apply lotion or cream. Those with thick or oily skin should use hot water generously and rub the lather into the skin vigor ously. Follow this with a cold rinse, r to beautiful, glowing skin.

Most women still prefer only a minimum of penciling and shadow only at evening for the eyes. man my daughter is to marry is not making enough money to support a home and a wife, writes Pauline Grace, from Austin, Texas. We are New Yorkers, who came here because Maureens lungs were affected by the eastern winters. Here she met her Ronny, whose pay is $45 a week. Now you know and I know, Mrs. Norris, that a young couple cant live on little more than two thousand a year. If there were children, The privations and underprivileges would ruin their lives. Unfortunately Fred, my husband, and I, cannot be of any regular financial help, as with prices what they are today it takes every cent we have to keep going at all, and Maureens wedding will set us back lor some time.

Other colors like black brown and navy are available for those whd want to gray. by-pa- ss Fashion Flashes Velvet jockey caps which go with dressy or casual suits are being given a thoroughgoing use by the younger set. They come in black as well as pastels, and are excellent to slip on, especially when theres wind blowing. Pastel wool jersey dresses will be popular for holiday wear because their styling is so youthful and becoming. Many of them glitter with rhinestone trimmings, scoop necklines, or set-i- n satin yokes. The chincilla coat made of wool will keep you both fashionable and warm during the coldest winter months. Popular styles include the shawl collar or the small collar that buttons to the throat. . . smashed in a ring . . , a young couple can begin on anything from $12,000 down to $1,200 a year.

One movie star who talked poor had an income of over three hundred thousand a year. But back to that $1,200 income. Could Maureen and her Ronny live as Mother and Dad do? Of course not. Could she live like, her matron of honor, who has married the son of a rich family? Certainly not. But on $1,200 a year she may have all the richness of what I call the American adventure. She may prove, to her own and Ronnys enormous satisfaction, that the days of pioneering are not over. She may take that low income as a challenge, and presently find herself writing articles or talking on the radio or instructing college groups of younger women in what she has learned from that experience. She must shed, to begin with, a great many of the artificial fine feathers that are cramping her contemporaries in their , flight from realistic living. All pretence of having more money than she has, all i struggle to keep up with richer folk, must be abandoned at once. But when that is done, Ronny and Maureen may find, if they are of the right stuff, that pretty much everything worth while in - life is theirs to command. Austin, like all our other important cities, will offer them free lectures, free lessons in languages, or in any science, free galleries, free concerts. The cocktail parties they must give up wouldnt be of any benefit hr them, not in a thousand years. But the language pr the trade they might perfect in three or four of those years might push them on to success. Theyll find contacts and friendships that are lasting. Theyll find out how heartfilling it is to launch forth alone into this unknown sea of poverty that is never want, and of simplicity that is never need. Theyll get the finest medical care in the city, free, in clinics. Their two-roohome on an obscure j street may well become the place f to which two rich and prominent middle-ag- e rs - look back someday with a nostalgic ache in their hearts. This venture takes two things that not even the richest marriage" can buy. One is love, an element conspicuously lacking in most very prominent weddings. m Relt&std by WNU futures |
