Here we have the relationship of the godmother of the fairy tale to the modern rejuvenation mask, and it is & close kinship. The beauty mask, or face pack, is the greatest complexion besatifier of all time. Its use is as old as beauty itself. The famous Egyptian beauties, we are told, were the first to use it and they jealously guarded the secret of what their masks contained. What the princesses of Egypt. sun- ning themselves on the banks of the Nile, regarded as mysterious magic, we, today. know as a scientific fact, that the basis of a good complexion is good circulation. A beauty mask is a composition of stimulating ofls, herbs and sometimes clay that s spread over the face with | an upward lifting of the muscles. The paste is made so that it dries in a tight mask on the face, holding every muscle just where nature intended it to be, and at the same time stimulating the circulation in & marked degree. The masks of ancient days were in- tended to make one pretty on short notice. And that still is the mission of the mask—to banish the dull, tired look that comes to every skin at times. not only are they for the skin that is lined and sallow, but for the young | skin that has become dull and lifeless. *xox % V/ARIOUS elaborate mask treat- ments, are given in the fashion- able beauty salons, Jars containing the ingredients of the masks, mixed in the right proportion for about & dozen home treatments, are sold at reasonable prices. In visiting the most successful beauty salons, 1 came across several very effective rejuvenating masks. One for young women, who take the best care of their complexions, has s pulverized flowers mixed ing oils. Another. for those desiring a more int°nsive treatment, is of herbs and balsam The internationally known authority on beauty who showed me these ks |told me many interesting things re- arding her study of masks in general. he has in her possession several old | formulae, one of whien" s at | twelve hundred years old, and I have | seen the formuia for another mask, written on sheepskin. As we all know, it is & lnng tim- since sheepskin was supplanted by writing paper. * ok ox JHY have the beauty specialists 8one to so much trouble and ex- pense searching the far corners of the | world for these things? It is because masks always have been effective in beauty treatments in a way that few | cosmetics are. They go much deeper than the creams, lotions and tonics of | the dailv skin treatment |, Expert knowledge stands behind these beauty masks.

Comeback of Beige Has Been Quick and Certain ady come into an important posi- tion in the season’s fashions. Then there is tafly beige—that might be considered a light brown—and va- nilla beige, that needs no special de- scription to the woman who makes cakes and candy. It's a clear, light, warm tone that is now applied to laces of a rather deep ecru tinge. The coming to the front of beige has not, of course, in any way discredited navy and the other shades of blue that have been featured for Spring. The name of Patou is perhaps the one most often assoclated with blue this Spring and it is well to remember the three tones of blue that bear the name of this important dressmaker. When one speaks merely of Patou blue one means the bright, vibrant shade that is most familiar to Americans as the most characteristic of the of Maxfield Parrish. Then » is a midnight blue—darker than | . with just a suggestion of & pur- plish tint—and a pale blue like the blossom of flax. ¥ LUE would have come into favor as a street color for Spring in any event, but the widespread commemora- tion of the Washington Bicentennial has furthered the good work. and so we have not only the usual flag blue, used so often in connection with red and white, but a number of light blues of military associetion, such as West Point blue and Annapolis blue, that have been used successfully in coats of a military or suggestion. There's another interesting coincidence. These cadet uniforms provide an interest ex- use for epaulettes and short shoulder capes that are right in line with the oresent-day tendency for wider shoulders and that do, of course, accentuate the slender waistlines, whether worn by a debutante of 18, a young cadet at West Point or & midshipman at Annapolis.

Oven Ther;nometer Is{ Useful to Good Cook | OME housewives say that they can- not be bothered with an oven ther- mometer, They do so little fancy cook- that it doesn't seem worth while. It isn't as if they pretend to be experts. Actually it fs only the expert who can afford to dispense with the help afford- by a thermometer in baking It would be as silly for the amateur dress- maker to say she cannot be bothered to use a tape measure, The best place for the thermometer is in the oven door and if you have a | stove with a thermometer 0 Bl-czd you | are fortunate. Lacking th moflern‘ convenience, you can do very well with | a separate thermometer that may be placed within the oven. When it reg- | isters the right temperature put in the | ple or cake or what is to be baked and | then leave the thermometer in a posi- tion in the oven so that it may be seen when the door is opened a crack. Thus if you want to keep track of the heat you can do so without interfering with the baking process. Here is the usually accepted table for oven temperatures: Slow oven .... Morerate oven . Hot oven . ~400 to 450 Very hot . .450 to 580 The slow oven is not often used. It is esential, however, for angel cake, | thick loaf cake, fruit cake and some sorts of pound cake. Most baking is done in a moderate or hot oven, very little call being made in cook books for an oven temperature higher than 450 e e e S livered none of the notes the teacher had sent by him.
