BACKACHE NOT DUE TO AGE

WOMAN RELIEVED OE IT AT 71. Many people think that backache is a trouble that comes naturally with ad* vancing years, but this woman of 71 proves that it is not. “I suffered for a long time from backache/ ’ she writes, “but put it down to my age (71). Reading your announcement, I thought I would try Kruschen Salts. I have been taking it for some time and have found great relief. I thought you would like to know it has done me a world of good.” (Mrs.) E. R. Half the ills which afflict humanity can be traced to one root cause. That cause is internal sluggishness: failure to keep the inside free from poisonous waste matter. Auto-toxemia, or selfpoisoning, is the inevitable penalty. And so follow a whole host of troubles —backache for one; rheumatism for another; slackness, sleeplessness, and depression. Kruschen Salts is Nature’s recipe for maintaining a condition of internal cleanliness. The six salts in Kruschen stimulate your liver and kidneys to smooth, regular action. Your inside is thus kept clear of those impurities which, allowed to accumulate, lower the whole tone of the system. Kruschen works directly upon your bloodstream, too, invigorating it so that it floods every fibre of you with tingling energy. It is the “little daily dose” that does it. Not one big dose taken occasionally. Just as much as will lie on a sixpence in your morning cup of tea or coffee. Taken that way, Krus- ■ chen is absolutely tasteless. And that I w r ay is the way to internal cleanliness, to constant cheerfulness, to strenuous health. Kruschen Salts is obtainable at all Chemists and Stores at 2/6 per bottle. MIRIAM HOPKINS’ ADVICE HOW TO MAKE MOST OF MAKEUP Known as Hollywood’s most natural blonde, Miriam Hopkins, lives up to her title by adopting a realistic mode of make-up that almost defies detection. Miss Hopkin# abhors the pink-and-white type of make-up so prevalent among blondes, and does not approve of the opposite extreme, the deep suntanned effects. “I match my powder exactly with the tones of my skin, and then add a warm, reddish tan powder to this,” states Miss Hopkins. “The result of this mixture is a remarkably naturaltoned powder that blends perfectly, lending my skin a flattering glow.” As for the much-disputed question of rouge, I believe that blondes and brunettes should adhere to the fair shades only. Deep, carmen rouges are entirely too artificial. The brunette can use more rouge than the blonde, however. If you feel that the lighter tones of rouge are not becoming, pinch the cheeks, note what colour of red results and try to match it.”

As for blonde lipstick conduct, Aliss Hopkins advises pale shades with orange tones. The manner of application is more important, she opines, than the colour.

“Flatter the shape of your mouth,” she declares. “If the mouth is small,” apply lipstick to the very edges, but if too full, use the stick just inside the outer lines. Never carry your lip salve into the corners of the mouth, because it is here that smudging is likely to happen with very unhappy results. Never forget to rub the little finger over the lips to achieve that finished smoothed-dow’n appearance. Put a heavier coat of salve on the upper lip.’’ As for eyes, which for blondes are usually blue, Miss Hbpkins has much to say.

If the brows and lashes are light, she advises the most delicate of anplications of brown mascara and brow pencils. For evening she admits the applications might be a little more generous.

“Eye shadow is probably the most important cosmetic a blonde can use,” states Aliss Hopkins. “The slightest touch of the right shade on the upper lids for daylight occasions makes th? eyes luminous and larger. At night, I advise a really frank application. “Personally, I favour light blue eyes shadow’, but many blondes find green and even brown flattering. If a touch of white vaseline is added to the lids over the shadow, the results are amazingly becoming.”

BRIDGE PARTY VICTORIA LEAGUE That enthusiasm in the work of the Victoria League is not lacking, was evidenced last evening when a very successful bridge party was organised by the council of the league, on behalf of the Cecil Wray funds for the disabled and disfigured soldiers in Roohampton Hospital, England. This appeal is made annually and the money is sent to Mr. and Mrs. Wray, who provide Christmas comforts for these men who still need attention in hospital. Air. and Airs. Wray ’s work is well known and the members of the Victoria League and their friends respond readily to the appeal to help along the wonderful work that is willingly carried on by Air. and Mrs. Wrav.

The party was held in the Elrick tearoom where twenty-five tables were made up for play. Charmingly arranged flowers further enhanced the lovely panelled room and tho supper tables, which were set near the lounge, were gay with Iceland poppies. Bowls of skilfully placed mixed summer blooms adorned tho window recesses and stands. Mrs. N. R. Bain, president, received the guests on arrival and Airs. A. H. Boyes (secretary), assisted by several of the council, was convener for the bridge. Donations to tho fund were given by Mesdames J. Davis, H. Wilson. A. Cameron, Robertson, J. Craig, F. Moore, T.
