FACE MASSAGE.

USE OF CREAMS. The way of modern massage, it seems, is to concentrate on the head rather than the face itself. At one saloon the face muscles receive exercise and general toning up whn the scalp of the head is under violet ray treatment. This treatment is splendid for growing the lvair, and should be employed at both seasons, when the hair begins to thin. , , . ~ Instead of patting and slapping the face gentlv all over for a face massage, the assistant pressed the skin of her i < p {l ti out. ’ ’ 6 rmlv in wards, then finished bv passing her hands slowly all o\ei the ,fare, smoothing that tired feeling, that, we know so well, away, until her Client was all but asleep. Vanishing cream is only necessary 1o keep in small quantities in the hand bag for applying before hasty powdorin<rs during motor trips or on the river, and occasions like that when powder alone refuses to stay on the face for long. , , . ~ This inclines to make the skin on the face become flabby, and the make-up put on after will stick in obstinate little patches. . In this case, the 'only thing to do is to take the whole thing off with cold cream and start afresh, putting only a smear of skin food equally over the face and rubbing it well in until only a faintlynnoisi surface remains. This is the foundation for make-up.
