' INSTEAD of shedding futile tears because the ehupe of your nose isn’t like tliat of your favorite movie actress, or because your mouth is more gen erously constructed than you would prefer, spend your time and money and knowledge im proving yournelf as you are. If all women would realise once and for all tliat changing the bono structure of the body Is almost impossible, except when medical supervision is given, and would devote them selves to cultivating their natural assets, we soon would have a country of superlatively lovely women. Far too many women let a feeling of “what’s the usd” en velope them because tlieir fea tures or figures aren’t perfect. My work in beauty culture has brought tuc in close touch with most of the celebrated beauties of our present day. And. would you believe that among this group of girls and women I have not yet found one who could be called perfectly proportioned.

Onu of our most beautiful and adored girla of the theatre has a cast in one of her eyes. But she has the most beautiful com plexion I’ve ever seen. Always her hair is cared for with every consideration for cleanliness and coift'ing. She grooms herself perfectly. I met, and talked to this girl twice before l realized that her eves were not perfectly matched. Then, I probably would not have noticed it if a photo graph of her had not needed re What One Girl Wore— By BETTY BROWNLEE BUTTTON. button, who’s got the button,’’ isn’t much of a game this seMon. Every one has buttons ou everything that shows a flat enough design to mount them. Woven woolen skirts button conspicuously from belt to hem in front; flat crepes and sheer crepes button from neck to belt in back; whole sleeves adopt a top ridge of but tons from shoulder to cuff; large shiny metal buttons pop up like trophy badges on the chests ot sports frocks. Even shoes have button clips and hats banded with narrow grosgrain ribbon closely laid with buttons have just made their appearance. The frock illustrated in the sketch today was observed on the avenue last w eek worn by a very fashionable young lady of the social set. It is the type of dress that Is so admirably suited for wear under one's fur coat. Of heavy hiue knitted ma terial, it’s mannish bodice cut on vest lines features two tabs at the front resembling the popu lar bolero treatment. Note that the button fastenings are of shiny nickel and the belt of ma terial to match the frock has a square nickel buckle. A tricky patch pocket adds a sporty touch. The graceful skirt is cleverly seamed and features flared sides. Of course, the sleeves are long and tight-fitting as is the manner of sleeves on tailored sports frocks. Choose a frock of this sort the next time your best beau invites you to a football or hockey game.

We w#re using the pictures for our beauty column ami the cast in the eye was caught hy the camera. If this girl could rise to such heights of public acclaim through the theatre, with a blemish of this Wind, don’t you feal that you. too, can rise above a nose that isn't Just what you would have chosen if you had been permitted to select your own features? Or that you can overcome that too generous mouth? 1’erforUy groomed skin, hair and appearance arc easily achieved, and they are the open door to popularity and loveliness. Provided, of course, that you cultivate a charming manner and a sweet disposition, too. Many women accentuate slight imperfections in their appear ance by failing to make the most of what they have. It's much the same principle as filing up an old frock or a linen cloth. Even a new frock will appear dingy if it Isn't kept immaculately clean, and if hows or ribbons are al lowed to remain loose when the threads which hold them break. A table cloth may have a hole or two in it, but if it has been per fectly laundered the chances are that none will notice them. And so we come to the busi ness of the day, making the most of what we have by giving the best possible attention to our skin and hair. For many long years the use of lemons in the cultivation of beauty has been extoled by my self and other beauty experts. Lemons are an old-fashioned beauty aid which have been Equal Part* of Lemon Juice and Glycerin Are Mixed load her In a Small Bowl, ai Shown Above, and Applied to the Face With a Small Pad of Cotton. Pat the Solution on the Skin; Don’t Rub It On, aa Shown Above at Right. brought into a new popularity because recent scientific experi ments have proved their value. Because lemon juice is ex cellent for so many steps of our beauty routine, I usually keep a small jar of it handy to save the constant need of squeezing more lemons. By using one of the strainer types of squeezer, such as that shown in the illustration above, time and effort are saved in com bining the two steps of squeezing and straining. Such squeezers are to be found in almost every kitchen, but if you haven’t one, the near est dime store has hundreds of them for sale. ,i5 1 usually squeeze half A dozen lemons at one time, pouring the juice into a half-pmt,' glass-top, self-seal, fruit jar. This can be kept in the ice chest and, because it is ready, you wiil.Jiftiiyo'#18^ using it at times when you wouldn’t if you had to stop and prepare the juice each time. There ape so many »ses for lemons or lemon juice tn the cul tivation of beauty that 1 hardly know where to begin outlining them. Suppose we start with the various uses of the juice. In the morning, add one table spoonful of lemon juice to half a glass of cool or warm water. Dip your tooth brush into the lemon water and brush your teeth, using the lemon water as a dentifrice instead of the one vou have been favoring. Brush the teeth in exactly the way you always do. Finished with the cleansing, rinse out the mouth with the remaining lemon water. Dentists all over the eountry Household Question Box By Mrs. Mtury D.

HISS R. Tee. Sponge with alcohol, ether or chloroform. In ikit column each week Mrs. Mary D. Wtteon will antwer all queelione concerning the ho me* hold. By Dipping Your Tooth brush Into a Glass of the Warm Lemon and Water Solution and Using This a# a Dentifrice, You Will Experience a New Method of Oral Hygiene Which Insures Health and Beauty to the Teeth. are favoring this type of anti septic mouth wash and cleanser for the teeth. My first experi ence with it was almost a year ago when a famous dental sur geon in New York told me to use it instead of any other type of antiseptic after he had ex tracted a bothersome wisdom tooth. Whether the absence of pain and the swift healing of the wound can be charged entirely to the use of this antiseptic I can’t say. But I never have had such an easy recovery from similar experiences. If you don’t care to let lemon water replace your usual denti frice entirely, use it morning and night and the other one after meals. You’ll find that the lemon water not only cleans the teeth but that it has a tendency to harden the gums, stimulate the flow of saliva, which not only cleanses but which its the key to proper digestion, and thut it makes the mouth feel clean. After the morning cleansing of the teeth, add two tablespoon fuls of lemon juice to one glass of warm water and drink it! Lemons abound in that vitally important vitamin "C” which is so elusive. Therefore, we can snpply it by taking lemon juice and orange juice. At night after cleansing the teeth with the lemon water, drink another glass of lemon water. At some time during the day, drink one large glass of fresh orange juice, to which two table spoonfuls of lemon juice has been added. This is to tone up and purge the system generally, making its beauty benefit known in the clearing up of the skin. The lemon rinse is an old story and a general favorite with fol lowers of this column, so we don’t need to devote much space to its use. Add the strained juice of two lemons to your final rinse water after shampooing the hair. This can be added to a bowl of tepid water and the hair submerged in the liquid or the lemon juice can be added to a large tumbler of water and poured over the hair. The hair may be dried with the lemon water on it, or you may rinse it off with clear, cool water. I^emon water cuts any alkali residue left on the hair from soap, making it soft and glossy. If you have trouble making a wave stay in your hair, try set ting the wave without rinsing the lemon water out. You’ll find the wave remaining much longer, and that it sets easier. Lemon juice for softening bath water is a new idea, but one that has proven a valued ally to beauty. Add the juice of two or three lemons to your bath water and see how much fresher and cleaner the skin Is. Continued daily use, softens and bleaches the skin, which is a beauty advantage. Dark spots or areas where the skin is rough can be rubbed with a cut lemon before stepping into the tub, and if this plan is followed such blemishes on the skin will dis appear within a short time. Equal parts of lemon juice and glycerin make a splendid soft ener and whitener for the skin. Of course, all of you are familiar with clear lemon juice for bleaching tan and freckles! but. this lotion, made of equal part* of lemon juice and glycerin, is for daily use to keep the skin soft and clear. Saturate a pad of cotton with the lotion and pat it gently over the face, neck, chest and arms. If the skin is coarse on any of these parts, rub the open part of a cut lemon over them first, then finish off the treatment with the lemon juice and glycerin prepa ration. After applying a generous amount of the lotion oveT the skin, continue *o pat it gently with the pad of cotton for a few minutes. Remove the last re maining trace of the lotion from the surface of the skin with mild lemon water or your fa vorite astringent. By mild lemon water is meant one teaspoonful of lemon juice added to one glass full of cold water. And as a final suggestion for lemons for beauty.. .ALWAYS keep a cut lemon at the kitchen sink so that you can rub it over discolorations on the hands just as soon as you are finished with the task which stained them.
