I find that a tube of lipstick from the Five and Ten can be used for times when we just want some color. This type of lipstick is us- ually not the indelible type and will wash off with soap and water easily. For long time wearing of course I use the Kissproof or in- delible type. If nothing else at least try to keep the upper and lower lip about the same size. It never appears well to have one lip thin and the other full!

MASCARA:

Mascara, eye-liner, and eyeshadows are very touchy things. If used properly they add to the beauty of the eyes, but if used wrong, they make one look worse than if nothing was used. For or- dinary use one can put on a coat of mascara and that is all that is needed, provided one has nice lashes and fairly long. If the lashes are short then a few coats of mascara will make them show better. If it happens that your lashes are very short, or the eyes are deep set, then I suggest false lashes to make them show up. Eye-liner is used as the instructions on the container it comes in tell you, It takes much practice to use it to best advantage and if used wrong it will give the eyes a weird look. If you are in doubt, then just line the upper lid, and leave the bottom lid without any liner. This applies to mascara also. Eye-shadow can be used sparingly most any time, but when it is used so as to be noticeable at all then it must be used with skill and even then on special occasions only...usually for evening wear.

HAIR: There is so much that has been said about hair that I won't bother you here with details. If you want it removed permanently then I suggest electrolysis. For temporary removal use any method you like but I have found the following works well. An electric razor of the heavy duty Men's type is good for the legs and most other parts of the body. If you want the hair shorter and a smooth- er feeling you can use any of the depilatories on the market such as Nair, Neet, etc., but they are too expensive for most of us to use regularly. For the arms I singe the hair off. Simply turn on a burner of the kitchen range and pass your arm over the flame and burn the hair away. If this is done correctly the hair will burn off to the skin line and will not feel coarse. Of course it will take a bit of caution so you don't burn your arm but there really is no great danger to this. I find this way is best rather than using a safety razor. I have nicked my legs and arms with a safety razor many times and after a few years the scars add up. A good lotion will finish the job nicely. On the subject of hair I might add that plain White Vaseline applied to the lashes and eyebrows
