EAUTY ADVICE By MARY BSDDLE More hints about that first necessity of beautyfastidiousness. Mary Biddle tells you many little tricks and tips about acquiring true, feminine daintiness. Also, a special word to redheads WHEN I was reading over the proofs of last month's beauty article I discovered that I had omitted to tell you, in the paragraph on the care of the hands, one of the very first rules for making your hands beautiful. It's a very simple little rule and probably many of you know it —although I have my doubts as to how many of you keep it. Here it is : wear loose white chamoisette gloves to bed in cold weather. No, you don't have to do it every night. Use your own judgment — when your hands get that "stucco" look, give them a treatment and don the gloves before you retire. How can you give your hands a treatment ? Why, by massaging a good cold cream into them. Wring your hands together as if you were washing them. Interlace the fingers and flatten out the larger knuckles against the palm of the other hand. Massage the fingers from the tips back, as if you were pulling on a pair of new gloves. This will help to reduce large joints. Do you ever give your elbows a beauty treatment? Don't laugh. I see many lovely creatures in stunning evening gowns — and there are their elbows, all rusty looking and nubbly. The skin on the elbow joints is very, very tender. Mothers of young babies, you know, often test the temperature of the babies' baths with the elbow — it's one of. the most sensitive points of the human body. The coy, dimpled elbow isn't as much a requisite of beauty in this athletic age as it was in our mothers' but, nevertheless, it wouldn't hurt a mite to have the skin resemble a piece of satin rather than a nutmeg grater. Simply rub cream into them at night and wear long-sleeved pajamas to bed to protect the sheets. BUT those are more or less cold weather problems. And summer isn't so very far away, is it? You'll be wanting to wear your backless bathing suits and sun-back tennis dresses. Are your backs in good condition?. Most backs aren't. The back is a very annoying part of the human body — so difficult to see and keep clean. And so susceptible to blackheads. The big trouble is— to put it bluntly — that most of us do not get our backs very clean. We slosh around in the tub for a "while and scrub down as far as our shoulder blades and around our waists and let the rest of the poor old spinal column go. Try using a small Turkish towel as a washcloth. Get it nice and lathery and pull it briskly across your back. Or get a back-brush — and use it as if you meant it. If the skin is broken out or troubled with blackheads you really must have some one give you a treatment. It would be nice if you had a sister or a girl friend who wouldn't be too darn squeamish to do it. First (after a warm bath, of course) a good, not too greasy cream should be massaged in — well. The excess wiped off. A mild astringent patted on briskly with a pad of cotton. And then, with fingers well padded with cotton, the blackheads should be gently pressed out. Dab the places with alcohol. Apply a pore cream or blackhead paste. And trot off to bed. Of course, if you haven't an obliging sister or girl friend, the better beauty parlors will give you such a treatment. Not cheap — but decidedly worth it. Do your lips ever get that warpy look and feel rather gummy? That would be some slight stomach disorder. Tiny little white bumps will appear at the corners of the mouth, too, as a result of an upset stomach. Watch your diet and try drinking a glass of hot water with the juice of a lemon squeezed into it— first thing in the morning. It isn't bad, really. But you must have the lemon juice because hot water alone will make you feel nauseated. T HOPE you people with dry skins have been making a consistent effort to use paste rouge instead of cake rouge. It is more difficult to apply, I admit. But a little practice does it, and paste rouge is so much better for your skin. You must have a cream foundation on first, however. Dab the rouge on with the tips of your fingers. Smile while you do it, and don't let the rouge get on the inside of the smile lines — it will make you look older. Then blend the rouge back and up. Don't worry if there seems to be a speck more color on one cheek than on the other — nature never puts color on exactly evenly. But don't carry that rule to extremes ! I would like to say a few words exclusively to redheads, if the rest of the readers will be kind enough to excuse me for a few minutes. I honestly believe that copper-tops have more beauty problems than other types. At a convention of cosmeticians in New York last year, a well known skin specialist purposely chose a girl with flaming red hair for a make-up test, explaining that the redheaded type must be more care Resinol 1 1
