Later, Mr. and Mrs. Kerr left by train for Auckland to spend their honeymoon. The bride’s travelling costume was of dove-grey and blue. AN instantaneous beautifier Most of us know what it is to be 1 teed with the problem of a very limited time to dress for some evening function. Here is one quick beauty treatment that is a boon for the busy woman. Wash your face with warm water; dry it, and then massage plenty of your favourite cold cream into it. Wipe off the cream remaining, .and then splash your face with perfectly cold water with a dash of eau-de-cologne in it. Not only does this improve the complexion, but it has a delightfully bracing effect. Try to take a little rest; then apply vanishing cream and powder in the usual manner. Fancy- work that has discoloured through being stored will become quite white again if first washed in bluewater and then in the usual way.
