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

she has the most beautiful com

her hair is cared for with every

perfectly. I met, and talked to

that her eves were not perfectly

What One Girl Wore—

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.
You’ll be warm and comfortable,

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

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

lemons at one time, pouring the
juice into a half-pmt,' glass-top,

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.

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.
