■ That's all it takes to get rid of that faggedout feeling, says Dinah Shore, NBC singing star. «vtf20 Mty By DR. GRACE GREGORY THE art of make-up has reached such perfection that many women expect it to do everything for them. But make-up is intended to beautify, not to conceal. It cannot hide the lines of weariness and strain that even young faces show at the end of over-strenuous days. It takes a mask, and a good one, for that. Dinah Shore thinks so. Of all the lovely young singers whom radio has collected for our delight, none is more vividly alive than Dinah. It is a mystery how one girl can pack so much of work and fun into a day as she does, and still retain the dewy morning freshness that is part of her charm. Dinah seems to be always on the go — but she knows the value of just twenty minutes of real relaxation, with the right beauty mask. In 1938 she came to New York, just graduated from Vanderbilt University in her native Tennessee. Besides her lovely voice, her warm brunette beauty, and her vivid personality she has the poise that comes from many public appearances. Having begun to sing for audiences at ten, Dinah Shore is a seasoned trouper at an age when most girls have not even begun. Al. first she sang for gatherings of her mother's friends. But after four years of this she decided to make a public 'lebut at a night club. She tells (,f it with reminiscent chuckles. She had taken her elder sister's favorite 86 gown and sneaked out of the house. But when she sauntered out on the stage for her first number, there were mother and daddy waiting at a ringside table. She sang one number, and was hauled home — but not before she had managed to collect her ten dollars. College dramatics led to stock companies— than which there is no better training. Then came small radio stations, and a hearing on one national hook-up. NBC heard her, and now we have our Dinah Shore singing for us every Thursday night at 6:15 P. M. E. S. T. Facial masks used to be very messy, very expensive, or very troublesome to prepare — sometimes all three. Facial masks nowaways cost a couple of cents or less per mask and come in attractive packages to be used in your own home. There are many good ones. Try, and choose. "One facial that I like," says Dinah, "costs about a cent a mask — and what a pennyworth! Some like 'em morning, some like 'em night, but I want my beauty mask when I come home fagged, before I dress for the evening. RADIO MIRROR IIOMI^BIAUIY A good soap-and-water cleansing, and then I mix up this home beauty treatment in a minute. I apply it liberally, all over face and neck. Then I lie down, relax completely, and think only of pleasant things for twenty minutes. "When the twenty minutes is over, I wash off the mask, and with it go weariness and all under-the-skin grime. My face feels new, firmed, youthified — ready to take a proper make-up. What a twenty minutes! Incidentally, one of the popular facial treatments is a refined starch which gives a soothingly perfumed beauty bath." For Those Stray Locks ALL our waves, even the permanent ^\ ones, would be as impermanent as the waves of the sea without a proper waveset. For finger waves, or comb waves, or the resetting of permanents, a waveset is necessary. It not only quells unruly hair (and how unruly some hair can be, especially just after a shampoo!) but also gives a lustre and sheen. Wavesets may be diluted with water to suit the special needs of your hair. But whatever your hair may be like, even if it is positively snarly with natural curl, a good waveset will enable you to get it under control and arrange it in the most becoming lines.
