THE TOO-SLIM BACK
HOW TO IMPROVE. . “Most women—especially young gi r l fe — are dismayed to find that.backless evening gowns are unbecoming to the too-slender back,’’ says', a writer. “Women with bony backs often suffer from open pores as well. . - ' , “Special massage with hot oil is given to feed the tissues, but much of the treatment is done at home. A fattening cream is recommended to be rubbed into the back every night. Pi ,lc baths arc also an important’ item in home ticatmcnt. '£ . .. “If the' skin is inclined to be greasy and there are open pores, the _ back should be massaged gently whiic in the bath with a Turkish towelling, glove or a small Turkish towel dipped in water. Avoid too strenuous rubbing, which irritates the sensitive skin of tko back. “Heavy powdering will draw attention to a too-slim back rather than disguise it. A liquid powder carefully applied to give a natural bloom to the skin, should be put on before going cut. ’ ’
