The visit to the heauty parlor is only that will actually improve the muscular half of the secret of being really beau- | condition of the face and its tissues. So tiful. Cosmetics, whether applied at home or in a place given to such a pro- fession, are only partially successful. Yet the part which they cannot do is| really the most important of all. It is the inner application of other sorts of “cosmetics” that is required for the genuine beauty for which many women in the home long and believe them-| selves to be denied. Eyes are a very important factor in the beauty so much coveted. The kind of make-up that many eyes need is not | £0 much the plucking of eyebrows and curling of lashes, but the sparkle that comes_from pleasant thoughts, a gentle outlook on life, and above all an inter- ested expression. Those who would make the most of this feature must be as_rigorous their attempts to reveal oniy such beautiful e: 3 are to see that the other detai's of their appearance are well cared fo The object of faclal massage is largely to Telax the muscles of the face and neck, grown tense from fatigue or anxiety.

For the sake of one's beauty there are damaging thoughts in which one cannot afford to indulge and beautifying ones Says Puff to Bunny: “Here's a tip! Why not draw pictures on our trip, Then use them later, line for line, On Easter Eges of new design?” BEAUTY CHATS If you have never plucked your brows, you may be afraid to begin. In this case, if you believe that your eyebrows can be improved by re-shap- ing, go to a first-class beauty shop and have it done for you. Tell the attend- ant you do not want much done, only enough to give the eyebrows a neater and better shape: And watch what she does. If she has any intelligence, she’ll im- prove your lool That’s why a good beauty parlor is essential—the cost is never very great for this work, in any case. She'll take out all the hair that grows in & haphazard way above and | below the line of the ebrow arch, and she’ll thin that arch, either all over, if the hairs are long, coarse and curly, or else she’ll thin it at the top of the nose, or out toward the end. After this, all you need to do is to pluck the hairs as they put in their un- | ‘wanted appearance again. For, of course, they will put in another appear- ance!’ You can do a little toward keeping them out of sight by touching the [spots with peroxide, where the old Pairs have been pulled away. This is an antiseptic precaution which beauty shops neglect and one which should not be neglected. There is always a slight danger of infection in the follicle from which the old hair has been taken. But plucked eyebrows will grow again to their old-time thick- ness. All you can do is to keep at them and not allow the hairs to grow. As a general bit of advice, I would suggest that you pluck out hairs from under the line of the arch. so as to raise the eyebrow line as much as you can. This gives lightness and delicacy to the expression and makes the eyes seem bright and wide open. But to- ward the ends, the eyebrows should be thinned from above; otherwise you give vourself a Mongolian look, which won't be becoming if you haven't Mongol blood! Hairs growing outside the thick hair line should be removed always. Mary F.—An exercise for strengthen- | ing the muscles of the abdominal walls is as follows: Lie flat on the floor on your back. ‘Without using arms or elbows to as- sist you, rise to a sitting position. Re- peat the exercise over and over again, or as many times as you feel you may take it without tiring yoursel. Run cold water over your hands whenever they perspire a great deal. A condition of this kind usually may be traced to the nerves. Esther J—There is always the possi- bility of bruising if you squeeze a clog- ged pore to force out a blackhead, which means a pink spot on the skin at that place for months. Better use a gentle an oil or cleans- ge. and scrub with hot- water and soap. Make the last rinse very cold to close pores Any exercise that will help keep the neck young and pretty should be known o every woman more than 30 years of age. A bad neck can be covered up in the daytime, but nothing can be done about it in the evening, and nothing in the Summer, when dresses with col- lars are too stuffy to wear.

Let the mind be flooded with the most irestful thoughts one can command, a mental picture perhaps of some favorite country spot where trees bend over a meadow or a secluded nook visited at | some beach. Gradually the muscles of | the throat will relax. ‘There is a sense of repose and assur- ance about the well groomed woman that is quite apart from the application of powders and rouges, although suca may be employed. She feels herself to be at her best. To cultivate this sense of repose is, in itself gaining an at- tribute of beauty, within the power and purse of every woman in the home or | out of it. Many women not really beau- | tiful, when their features are studied, give the impression of beauty through the cultivation of a well poised pres- ence. These inner cosmetics belong in the make-up box of every woman who would be admired. There is much more credit in their use than in the appli- cation of any other sort of beautifier which is merely external, although those have their place. To practice the use of such inner cosmetics is to add to one’s beauty”of character as well as of | face. Cranberry 7Mold.r Place one pound of cranberries with one cupful of water on the stove and cook quickly until every berry is burst. Remove, and while hot press through a sieve. Add two cupfuls of sugar and stir until thoroughly dissolved. If the mixture has cooled considerably, it may | be placed over a low fire and stirred until the sugar is dissolved. Pour into Ogeu large, or several small molds and chill. My Neighbor Says: To clean vinegar cruets, fill with warm water to which a few drops of household ammonia has been added. Let stand for an hour, then rinse well with luke- warm water. A little kerosene added to the warm soap suds with which lino- leum is to be washed will loosen the dirt. Never wrap silver in bleached flannel: wrap in unbleached flan- nel. The sulphur used in bleach- ing flannel will tarnish silver. When service plates are used they should be laid at each place, one inch from edge of table. They are not removed until hot plates are substituted.

BY EDNA KENT FORBES | those who spend much time doing up their faces. Try some of these exercises if your neck and your chin are not just what you want them to be. You should be out-of-doors or near an open window, for deep breathing and fresh air play an_important part in these exercises. ‘Throw your head back, but not too fast, and breathe in as you do so. Let the head go as far back as possible. Then breathe out slowly, and bring the head back to normal position. Do this | about 10 times. This exercises those | front muscles. Now pretend your head is rather loosely attached to the rest of you, that you can roll it gently round and round your shoulders. You can roll it gently round and round, as a matter of fact, and gradually as it does so you will feel a pull along every muscle, front, back and sides. Now clasp the hands behind the head, which automatically throws the head back a little, and breathe in. This is more chest than neck exercise, but it makes you feel well, and any chest exer- cise is apt to be gcod for neck muscles {as well. You should hold your breath while you count 10 before exhaling, and, of course, you should repeat the exer- cise about 10 times. Some books of exercises make you do all these things |& dozen times, but I prefer to be a little vague and leave the exact amount | of exercising to your own discretion. Massage the neck with a thick mas- sage cream, using a circular motion of the fingers. This stimulates the blood, and the cream smooths and feeds the |skin. A little ice massage is often a good thing, too, especially in the Win- ter. It hardens the skin against chills and colds caught from draughts. Vivian H.—Swollen eyelids may come from lack of sleep, but they are more | apt to be traced to poor functioning of some of the organs of elimination.

(GIRLS are always asking me to “give them a line" that will make them popu- lar with boys. This is an impossibility, because boys' tastes differ. There are many men of many minds, and each has a different mind about what is pre- ferred in women. Some men have an insatiable appetite for applesauce. Others are suspicious of it and pass it up. You have to vary your menu to please different appetites, and if you want men to eat out of your hand you must know when to fill it with angels’ food and when to hold out dill pickles, The best advice that T can give any girl in this matter is for her to develop her own line. Be yourself. Sit down dispassionately and study yourself and make an honest survey of your virtues and your defects and then concentrate all of your energics on turning the spotlight on your good points. Don't try to imitate other girls’ charms. No man bothers with the synthetic when the real is at hand. A nice, quiet little girl, for instance, observes that some vivacious girl who says and does out- rageous things is popular with men. So she thinks the loud and fast line is the one boys are crazy about, and she adopts it and can't understand why it doesn't make a hit. She doesn’t realize that she is not a cut-up by nature, and that a girl is just as ridiculous trying to wear a borrowed personality as she would he if she went strutting about in another woman's clothes that were three sizes to big for her or four sizes too small. The sensible, practical, matter-of-fact girl takes note that men swarm around a baby-taik girl like bees around g honey pot. and forthwith she begins to babble like a babe in arms, and she is amazed to find that instead of making 2 hit men regard her as a moron. Or a big, statuesque woman observes how pic- turesque some little cutie-cutie locks when she is curled up Itke g kitten on a sofa, and so she also flops down on a divan that creaks under her weight, but instead of adoring the picture she makes men laugh at her because she looks like a performing elephant. Yet these same girls would have been attractive enough if they had stuck to their own lines and displayed in their show windows their own, honest, home- made goods instead of decking them out in spurious imported finery that they didn't know how to handle or display. Many men greatly prefer the quiet, modest little girl who hasn't s wisecrack in her system. And thousands of men are simply starved for the society of in- And plenty of men prefer big, stately, goddess women who move with dignity to little pocket size flappers. But, of course, there are lines that are universally attractive to all men that a girl can develop with profit to herself. One of these that the modern girl strangely enough overlooks, and yet which is a gold mine when properly worked, is the domestic line. Years ago a wise woman advised wives that the best way to hold a husband was to “feed the brute.’ Another good line to acquire is a sports line. Learn how to do things. If you are not a fluent conversationalist, adopt the questionnaire line. Ask a man personal questions about himself. Millions of lines. But they must be varied to nan.
