BY MAX FACTOR HOLLYWOOD MAKE up GENIUS

LAST KITES Although thero arc no statistics available on the subject, I’ll venture to say that the horror of seeing his heroine nightly smeared with grease has kept many a sensitive man from marrying. The sight of a wife embalmed for me night is not a pleasant one. Any won!!ia who putters around the bedroom, in full view of her husoand, with a cold-cream-ed face that shines to high heaven is doomed to trouble. Even the love of Abelard had its limits, .

This business of going to • bed is, frankly, pretty complicated. It’s hard to do the right thing by your face and still look sweet *hhd lovely 'wheir your husband comes ‘to '•‘‘say '^ood-night. Take Your Choice. There are two ways of approaching this matter, of the nightly regime. Either you can accomplish your beauty in the bathroom in a manner which the male eye will never detect, or you can carry your creams and lotions to the bedstand and apply them when you .are shrouded in kindly dark. The first sug-

gestion, of course, is the most practical of the two. Cleansing—first Step Removing your make-up is the first cue in your after-dark act. This begins by massaging the face generously with Melting Cleansing Cieam. .Remove this from tne face with a soft towel, after every bit of make-up has been dissolved. Now then, is your skin cny or dry? If your face is oily you can afford to bo enthusiastic with a scrubbing brush and soap and warm water. But for the legion of the dry-skinned, a thriceweekly soap and water benediction is all that the face will stand. facial Lubrication —Next.

Of course, the prime problem now is to get the necessary softening cream into your skin without letting it show. The oily-skinned girls have a sinecure here, because all they havo to do is to dash a fresh-smelling astringent over tlieir faces for tho night. But, for the dry-skinned damsels, here is what to do: after your face is clean, pat or * mould in vour Skin Tissue Cream. Then, I “

if you are the kind who can’t be lulled to sleep unless you have spent fifteen minutes in the tub, allow tho cream to remain on your faco while you bathe. At tho last moment wipe off the surplus cream with tissues, and pat —don’t rub —Skin Freshener over the skin. Your face looks dewy, which is pleasant. Lips Must Not Betray.

If your skin is dry, that probably goes for your lips, too. And nothing is more disastrous to a perfect and alluring lipstick than dry, puckered lips. The solution for this is really a natural, and it lies in those Lip Pomades that no dressing-table should lack. They make your mouth look smooth and soft, and they help to keep it so. Thero are lovely varied shades in these pomades —from white to rosy-red. Before Drowsy Eyelids Close.

While you don’t want your face to look shiny at night, it’s very nice (and practical) to have your eyelids slightly moist. Therefore apply a little Skin and Tissue Cream to the lids before retiring. This will lubricate the skin and prevent those tiny, vicious wrinkles that appear around the eyes without a decent warning. The Key to Gleaming Locks As for hair— Everybody knows that it should be brushed every night of your life. Careful brushing won’t disturb your wave at all, if you take a minute afterwards to comb tho wave back into place and turn up a few ends with bobbic pins, have the pins match your hair in colour and they will be invisible. Of course, the ideal way to keep your hair iu place is to wear ono of those porous net caps to bed. Some of these are nightmares, while others look fetching as the most pleasant dream. Lot’s hope you choose the latter. If the hair lias dry, wispy ends, Liquid Brillox helps them. And a bit of Brillox sprayed on the top of the hair from an atomiser gives it a glistening sheen—and new life. Now about perfumes: Even,if your husband considers your regular perfume enchanting, lie won’t like you doused with it at night. Far better to use a straight Eau do Cologne. If you give yourself a friction rub with this before going to bed, your skin will exhale a cool fragrance all night. The Unfinished Symphony

Having achieved both harmony and beauty; having bado an admiring husband an amiable good-night, do make ono small sacrifice, in tho name of tranquility. After the lignts are out, quiet has settled, and sleep is stealing beneficently into the room, do not think of just one more tale you havo forgotten to tell your husband. Or if you do think, stifle it! Don’t disturb a man just as old Morpheus is about to overtake him. lie won’t like it, even if you have made yourself as beautiful as Cleopatra aud the Queen of May combined.
