rain without any great amount of physj-al activity. . The storv of Miss K. N. is a good ex-nple of what I mean. She was working .ng hours at a desk. She happened to be jing war work but it might just as well ave been work in a law office or a movie udio. At night she felt so weary all she •anted to do was to drag home and go arly to bed. She felt in all conscientiousf ess she should avoid playing in the eveing, as she should keep herself fresh for ach day's work. I met her about this time and got her o try an experiment. She was to go three khts a week to a good beauty salon chere classes were held in exercise for ust her kind of girl— the one who is ,-orking hard but is not physically active luring the day. The class spent three:uarters of an hour three evenings a week n supervised exercise. K. N. attended faithfully. At the end of he second week I saw her again and asked tow she was getting on. Her eyes shone. 'It is the strangest thing," she said. "I go ip to the class sometimes so tired I can lardly put one foot ahead of the other. I'm oo tired to eat. All I want to do is tumble nto bed! But I go. I exercise and you enow, I come away feeling I could start the lay over. I could walk five miles !" You see, K. N. was tired from lack of exercise. She was getting a little let down, f the truth were told, about both herself ind her work. Once she started streamining her muscles and treating herself as if ;he had a normal healthy body, which she lad. she looked better, slept better, worked setter. She was an asset to herself and her iriends instead of a liability. Think it over. Since this department is concerned with the way you look as well as your all-round smartness and vitality, and since this winter you should play hard, now and then, so that you may work all the harder, here is a "beautv preparation" suggestion that will help you look your best at important moments. Don't neglect the good old "beauty mask" habit at least once each week, when you want your skin to look its most glowing and glorious. There are a number of good ones to be had. called by various names, all including the word "mask" on their labels. Wrap your fingers around one of them and take it home. Allow yourself half an hour to use it. Since you should spend twenty minutes of the time with the mask on your skin and since it is best that you relax completely during that time, here is a fine moment ( twenty, fine moments, in fact ) to lie down, "close your eyes and do nothing, blissfully. But first spread on the mask carefully, economically. Just cover your throat and face. Keep it away from your eyes and your lips. Relax for twenty minutes, then take the mask off. Since different masks should be removed in different ways, look at the directions. Some of them rinse off gently in warm water. Others should be taken off with cream. If this is the first time you have used a mask, you'll be startled at the improvement in the appearance of your skin. It will actually glow and look refreshed, dewy, lovable. If you are an old hand at it you will just nod with approval at your reflection in the glass and murmur : "Just as I expected!" In either case, you will go off to your evening looking quite charming. "Beauty without extravagance!" Yes, because there is so much important work for money to do. you will want to practice all the known beauty economies as well as thinking up some original ones all for yourself. Buy large sizes of the preparations you use every day. Large jars give you more for your money in general. They also save you extra shopping time. Keep your creams and lotions in the ice-box or at {Pkase turn to pagt 90 I GUIDE TO GIAMOR With Christmas in the offing and Hard Work Ahead Here are tips and trinkets from your Beauty Scout Preview of Christmas!
