A Fashion Model's Diary
By GRACE THORNCUFFE
She Talks About a Printed Ensemble.
WELL Deary Dear Helene's*
■later left for home today
and once again we’re with-
out visitors. It won’t be for long
though because we always have an
epidemic of guests at this time—old
school friends who come to buy j
clothes girls who make our town a j
stopplng-off place on their way to
Europe and various odd people who
get the urge to travel at this sea-
son of the year.
And I want to tell you that
Helene's sister left for home a
changed woman! She came here as
the most unenthusiastic critical
creature in the world and returned
to her home town Just as sweet and
docile as a Iamb. Since she hadn’t
been here in so long a time we of
course thought it would be easy to
entertain her. There's so much to
see and so much to do. But she
thought she had to be the dignified
big sister. The first thing she got
any kick out of at all was Madame’s
shop. She came down there. 1 think
all ready to tell us what a terrible
place we worked in and how much
better off we’d be if we came home.
But one look at the clothes and she
forgot she was anyone’s good influ-
ence. She went off into a long rave
purchased a dress and began to
look at life through rose-colored
glasses. Clothes can certainly change
a woman!
From that moment on there was
no holding her. She wanted to do
everything and see everything.
The day of her departure she came
down to the shop to say good-bye
to us and wbile there selected an-
other dress. She’ll probably be poor
for months but she said It'll be
worth the kick she gets out of it.
The model she chose was stunning
and she’ll probably be the envy of
her town. It is an ensemble of
printed flat crepe. The predominat-
ing color Is red. Two-piece the
blouse Is coat effect and the circular
I I

Red and White.
skirt Is pleated at the left side.
Tricky red velvet bows add a finish-
ing touch—one at the collar of the
jacket the other at the hipline of
the blouse and this one pulls out
through the opening of the jacket.
It’s lovely and Helene’s sister cer-
tainly is a knock-out in it!

SKIN DRY7-TRY THIS
RESTORING FORMULA
Josephine Huddleston Beauty Expert Outlines Cor-
rective Measures for a Skin Deficient in Natural
Oils and Suggests a Paste Mask for Bleaching
By JOSEPHINE HUDDLESTON
Those of you who read the article which preceded this one will re-
member that I promised special bleaching and corrective trcatmnts to be
used for dry skin instead of the general bleaching method outlined at
that time.
The reason for this is because dry skin is caused
by inactive oil ducts and glands which dp not supply
the skin with sufficient natural oils. Therefore this
deficiency must be met by the lavish use of rich oils
and creams.
If soap and water is preferred for cleansing pur-
poses be sure that a weak or bland soap and warm
not hot water is used. These two points in the daily
cleansing routine must be observed. The use of hot
water and strong soaps on the skin tend to deplete an
already insufficient supply of oil.
Mineral oil. oil of sweet almonds or liberal appli-
cation of nourishing cream should be used for the
cleansing or immediately after soap and water has
been used. Such oils or creams should remain on the
skin for a few minutes then removed with a piece of
?rcsh &'auze or cleansing tissue. In cases of extreme
JmJvm dr>n65- and especially if lines have already made their
appearance a generous covering of oils or creams
should be smoothed on the skin and permitted to re-
main on •overnight.
So much for corrective measures to remedy a dry skin condition. The
almond meal mask used for bleaching this type skin is made and used in
the following manner. Add just enough peroxide to a cupful of almond
meal to make a light paste. Then 3
adding a bit of rose water blend
all three ingredients together until
a creamy paste results. Spread
this paste over a piece of gauze
large enough to cover the entire
face first cutting holes in the mask
so that you will be able to see and
breathe comfortably. After the
paste has been evenly distributed
over the first piece of gauze spread
a second piece over the paste and
press it firmly in place. The fin-
ished result will be an even layer
of almond meal paste between two
pieces of gauze—or the almond
meal mask.
Draw the hair back off the fore-
head and away from the ears then
gently press the . lask into the con-
tour of the face. Now dip a towel
or cloth in hot water wringing it
out as dry as possible so that the
steam rather than hot water pene
trates through the paste. Place
this over the mask and as soon as
it begins to cool replace it with a
hot cloth. Continue applying hot
towels for fifteen minutes.
Remove the mask and rinse with
clear water. Pat dry and apply a
light nourishing cream which
should be massaged into the skin
with an upward and outward
movement. Allow the cream to re-
main on for at least five minutes.
Then after its removal dash suf-
ficient cold water over the skin to
close the pores and tighten the
muscles.
If hot towel applications are not
used the mask should remain on
the face for an hour. Almond meal
masks may be used every other day
or if only a slight bleach is de-
sired once each week will be suffi-
cient to keep the skin smooth and
white.
