RADIO MIRROR Beauty a la Jessica Dragonette (Continued from page 41) ' skin, this is perfect for you, since it gives an even more definite line than an eyebrow pencil. Jessica blends other things besides lipstick for her personal use. "I love perfume." she said. "I love it so much that 1 seldom wear only one scent at a time. I often blend two or three on my skin — perfume, of course, should always be applied to the skin, never the clothes. Cleopatra, so I've heard, was such a past master at this art that she had perfume injected just under the skin, so that it really became an actual part of her body! It's probably just a legend, but it's an interesting idea. "What are my favorite perfumes?" She smiled and shook her head. "That should be every woman's personal beauty secret! Like the truly chic Frenchwoman, I say 'Never tell your perfume.' Choose the ones you like best for your own individuality, and never tell! By blending two or three scents, you'll have an absolutely different combination. Then vary these combinations with the gown and the occasion. Keep it light and elusive. Perfume on a woman should be just like the perfume of a flower. When you hold a carnation in your hand, you get only faint whiffs of it, as though born on a shifting breeze. "Flowers, too — all kinds and in all seasons— are an essential part of a woman's personality. 1 believe that's one place where we American women show a lack of imagination. We wear such standardized flowers. Your little boutonniere needn't always be a gardenia, your evening corsage needn't be luxurious orchids. For example, I like to wear a nosegay of marigolds in the lapel of my little yellow Schiaparelli suit. And for evening wear, I look for the one flower in all the world which was meant to go with a certain color and a certain material." If you find it hard to get real flowers at all times in your community, you might try the little trick used by Ann Sothern, the film star, who uses floral perfume on the artificial flowers she wears, matching the scent to the flower. And if you're looking for a truly individual perfume. 1 can tell you of at least three delightful ones which are coming out this fall, and you will probably be the first in your community to discover them! There's one created especially for evening wear, another which is warm and elusive at the same time, and still another which presents one of our favorite floral odors in a new and exciting guise. Another subtle use of perfume is found in the enchanting varieties of eau de cologne now being offered. One company put out a set of three widely different odors in one case, to suit your mood at the moment. Another has the most generous-sized bottle of good cologne at a reasonable price that I've ever seen. You know, of course, that cologne-water is not just a scent, but a relaxing and exhilarating application for tired muscles and overheated bodies, so this large bottle is ideal for such unsparing use. Do let me tell you more about these fascinating new products and the names of the preparations which Jessica Dragonette mentions. Just send astamped, selfaddressed envelope with your query to Joyce Anderson, Radio Mirror, 1926 Broadway, New York City. / ■ vs "LUi. DEEPER SUDS MAKE DISHWASHING a tuck am/ mtuf THE more suds there are to do the work, the easier any washing job becomes. Silver Dust actually gives far deeper suds than any ordinary soap. The pictures at the right give dramatic proof of this, in a test that anyone can make. The real proof is in the dishpan. If you hate dishwashing ... if you want to make the job really quick and easy . . . Silver Dust is the soap for you. Get it today! Put a teaspoonful of your favorite dishwashing soap in a dishpan with two cups of water. Swish it around for about fifteen seconds and then pour the water and suds into a mason jar. Now do the same thing with Silver Dust. Note how much deeper the Silver Dust suds are. They actually overflow! Note, too, how close the suds are. These active busy little bubbles make dishwashing quicker and easier than ever before. 59
