and does, surprise us--but that we NEVER can surprise her. So the most that can happen to her is a deflation from goddess-witch to something nearer human proportions, while the interchange gradually irons out the contrasts. As we circulate in FP society, and make our way out of the closet-world, a lessening of the difference between brother and sister seems to take place, to the point where even the most intimate outsider can scarcely see any difference. We are the last to know this, because of the memory of the years when she was REALLY different—and rather inhuman, too. If, at the end of this process, we can sit side-by-side like a pilot and co-pilot, at peace with one another, all that has gone into our relationship is well justified.

MINERAL OIL TO REMOVE MAKE-UP

June

One of the things that FPs enjoy doing is putting on make-up. But there is the problem of getting it off again. One problem the FP has to face is getting the make-up off so no one can tell you've been wearing it. One thing I've found that does the trick very well is ordinary mineral oil. You can putt a little on a cloth and rub it over your face, and it does the job quickly, easily and so effectively that no one can tell that you've been wearing make-up.

I found out about this from an article that was in my local paper about circus clowns. They have to be experts on applying and removing make-up since they definitely have a lot of it to put on and take off. The article said mineral oil is what they use to remove their make-up. Besides doing a good job of getting it off, it's cheap and it can be easily purchased in any drug store. The article said it's also good for the complexion. Clowns, even where they are in their sixties and seventies, have very good complexions and smoother skins than most women of their age because of applying mineral oil to their faces so often.

So, if removing make-up is a problem for you, this is something worth trying.
