LIQUID “STOCKINGS”

VARNISHES FOR TOES. A rush to leg beauty is being experienced in England with the return of hot weather. Less than - five women in 50 have perfect legs, I was told to-day (says a correspondent) by a beauty specialist. The 45 with the medium legs should all use beauty preparations to disguise their defects just as carefully as they use make up on their faces. Dozens of preparations from oils to ochres are being sold to give a lovely tone to the legs. A liquid “stocking,” a kind of creamy film, is the effect

most women should strive for, I am told.

Lighter shades of these creams are sold for use in the evening and for day there is a deep, rich, sun-tan shade. One caution, however, I must point out. If you use this form of cream make sure your leg make-up matches your neck and face exactly. Do not have a deep mahogany-tanned leg and an almost chalk-white face 1 Toenail varnishes in brilliant greens, reds and yellows, to match the nail varnishes, are also being sold. Some of these varnishes are striped red, white and blue, but most women are preferring the plain, dull dragon’s blood red which has now superseded the vivid scarlet of last season..
