FOR HOT DAYS

SPECIAL BEAUTY CARE Casualness is defined as a Jaunty indifference, but what daughter of Eve can feel Jaunty when her nose is peeling and her hair hangs in discouraged strings about her ears? It is impossible, of course. Womenkind need a consciousness of personal attractions to keep their morale at its best, especially on hot days While it is not necessary to go into elaborate beauty rituals unless you enjoy them, there are a few basic treatments that you should crowd in somewhere, states a South African writer. Your Figure Careful grooming of hair, skin and hands help make your casual summer wardrobe a success, but there is sor ;- thing else just as important. You have guessed it! Your figure. If you cannot be sylph-like you can at least have a beautiful posture and poise. Normanise your weight. Fight those flabby bulges and bony prominences. You really ha. a to if you want to wear sports togs with “Jaunty indifference” this summer. The new discoveries in protective creams and oils have opened r.nothei' possibility that suits women who prefer to keep their skins fair—summer and winter. It is just as smart to be white as to be cafe au lait. For the sensitive skins that freckle, blister, or redden in the sun instead of tannings, the only sensible course is to use' protective cosmetics and keep in the shade. Merely staying out of the sunshine is not enough and, besides, no one wants to spend her week-ends under a sunshade. Hands and Feet Hands and feet, too, demand extra beauty care in holiday time. If you are letting yourself become tanned you need a smoky red or rust polish to finger and toe nails to match your lipstick. If you are staying fair-skinned, a shell or soft rose polish will be better, or you might just but. your toes to make them naturally rosy and gleaming. Do not forget a daily hand massage with a lubricating cream. Do not try o wear your nails long if you are roing in for active sports. Rub a | dticie cream around the base of your j lails at least once a day and gently ■ i ess down the cuicle. Be sure not ' o push it down, however, when the 1 4:in is dry, because that will encour- | ige hang-nails. ‘ Hands are quick to show neglect, > nd they can retaliate by looking years der than they need to if they are not ven daily care.
