Hats Again Frar BY MARY It has occurred to the milliners for the first time in several seasons that womeén have faces and that such fea- tures as eves, ears, evebrows and tore- hends ought not to be totally ignored in: the making of a hat. Apparently ft'has been the idea that the more | completely the hat concealed these de- tafls the better. This does not mean HERE'S A REBOUX FELT HAT THAT HAS EAR FLAPS TURNED UP AND OUT. that the leave the ears ex- pased or ow more than a gimpse of the forchead. but it does mean that many of the French milli- ners are considering hats now as frames for the features of the women who wear them.

Use bath salts or bran or oatmeal bags to make the water soft. and use first quality soap. Wash off the cream in the bath; the skin will look a little fresher for it, and cleansing cream always should be washed out of the skin. At the end rinse the face and neck with cold water, If you have a shower, a quick cold shower after a hot bath is mar- velous—if you have also the courage. At the end of the bath push |h(’; cuticle of the naiis back and give them | a quarter-minute polish. The rest of your beauty treatment is a bedtime or a before dinner affair. First cleansing cream, to clear the skin of powder and dirt, washed off with warm water. If you are getting on, follow this by a rub with tissue- making cream, or a strong astringent.

An exercise for strengthening the eyes is as follows: Place a flower, or any object that has a point of con- centration within it, a few feet from you, and hold your vision to the center of the flower. Move the object farther and farther, and with every few feet stop and practice again holding the vision at the center.
