DON'T RUSH ABOUT WILDLY AND LOSE
BEAUTY, IS EXPFRT S ADVICE TO WOMEN
Why the Hurry?
Why the Worry? Why the Pained and Strained Expression? Faces Were Not Designed
to Look Like That, Is What Antoinette Donnelly Has to Say.
- ' '
Everybody's doing it. Doing -what?
rturryinp!
Scurrying!
Rushing madly somewhere!
Rushing madly nowhere!
But rushing, rushing, rushing right along!
"Haven't time! Haven't time!"
'8 the chorus they're all singing.
Haven't tune to go to bed!
Haven't time to rest my head!
Haven't time for any play.
No. Not today! No. Not today!
Have an offul lot to do. .
Keep me going the whole day, too.
Haven't time to read or write.
Hardly time to take a bite.
I've got so terribly much to do
Ton't know how I'll ever get through.
Every day it's the same old story,
BY ANTOINETTE DONELLT.
AND every day it's the same to
morry! But what's all the hurry
about? Why the hurry? Why
the worry? Why the strained and
pained expressions? Faces were not
designed to look- like that. Bodies
were not intended to run on high
every day and all day.
How about turning this into inven
tory day? Taking stock of energy ex
pended, energy saved, and the debit
a system you naturally do what you
can that day and let the rest go over
until the next, eliminating the unnec-
efisaries as you go along.
It's All In the System.
Into this systematic day you must
inject the observance of health and
beauty rules. ,Just take the morning
bath, as an example. This habit alone
will do wonders toward getting you
into a perfect frame of mind and body
for the day ahead. At the same time
it is beautifiying and. after all., this
whole system idea of mine is more
healthy and beauty success for you
than financial. Brushiing the teeth
after each meal, brushiing the hair at
night before retiring nothing will
keep it more beautiful and healthy
getting some form of exercise daily
these things all belong in the day of
the woman who is systematic.
The woman who is always rushing
and hurying never has time to cold
cream her face at night; more often
than not she slides into bed without
washing her face, much less taking a
bath: she brushes her hair just before
it is shampooed to get the snarls out.
and credit, after these days and days, She hasn't time for any of the nice de-
of rushing madly hither and yon?
How about talking business
etraighrt, , hardheaded ' business -to
yourself? Make out a report for your
own benefit as to just what you have
lost in this scatter brained, unsystem
atic process of life of yours, what
you have gained, if anything. Figure
it out like a sane business man, sub
tracting fully for deterioration. Fig
uro further what the end of one year
five or ten years will be at this rapid
rate of deterioration.
Striking; a Balance.
And then add it all up and face
yov.reelf in the mirror as you are or as
you will be at the end of a given
time. -
Put dowii on the debit side: Wrin
kles due to the unrelenting hurry
dentin; irritation over trifling inci
dents en route; loss of temper, ac-
count insufficient sleep; worries over
ridiculously petty things; set, tense
expression due to lack of play in your
life; gradually lowering vitality, due
to the entire combination- of foolish
ness and what have you got?
If a business man had as many
deficits as that he'd shut up shop and
walk out.
Well, suppose you do that today.
Walk a couple of miles and walk
back In again, willing to start this
-health and beauty business of yours
all over again, from an entirely dif
ferent standpoint.
Early to Bed.
First, you must let yourself down.
How to do that? Sleep more. Get to
bed earlier at night. Force yourself
to do it, if necessary. If you've been
a tinger in the "hurry u,f" chorus
you'll need a whole lot of sleep. Take
one whole day off a month for no
other purpose than to lie abed. Make
It Sunday, if no other day is available.
Go to church, if that is your most ex
cellent habit. Come home, and the
rest of the day is yours. Use it for
sleep and rest.
The whole trouble with the hurrier
Is lack of system in her life. The dif
ference between the people who really
occomplish big things, and hold to
their youth and beauty is in the sys
tem in their lives. Here's where we
women fail; why more of us are not
done in oils for the halls of fame.
Every big woman who has attained
uccess has done it by conserving her
energy for the big things and wast
ing nothing on fruitless, footless rush
ing about. Not that she excludes play!
No, indeed. She provides for that as a
necessary part of her upkeep. When
you seek an interview with her, she
has the time to give it and give it
leisurely. She does not greet you with:
"O, I haven't time!" Why?
And Early to Rise.
She begins her day in the morning.
Not at 10:30. nor at 12. She begins
it the night before, in fact, by getting
a full quota of sleep. And I'm not
epeaking of the woman out in the
business world alone. The successful
nome woman applies the same bust-1 1
ness tactics to her life. She is the i
woman with a whole brood of chil- j
dren, perhaps, with time for their
care and outside interests as well
who mayhap lives next door to the
mother of one cir none and who never I
has time for anything.
"It's all in getting up in the morn
ing." said one of these lovely women. '
"It's planning your day and beginning '
it right. Then there's no need for
hurry or worry. It's the only way to
keep up with yourself. Then you
have time for your friends, and what '
would life be without them? You have I
time to read. You have time for pleas- ;
tire. If it is true you get out of life j
what you put into it, you must put i
system into it to get success back."
The whole thing boils itself down to j
taking life more easily. Only by sys-!
tematiziing the day can this be done. J
The hurried, tense, nervous, irritable
woman with a face to match has no 1 11
system. The placid, well poised, ami- ! If
tails that distinguish her prettier
sister, she hasn't time to improve her
mind by reading, she hasn't time to
cultivate interests that give her a
fresh outlook a'hd' keep youth in her
heart.
It's all in the system, I repeat, all
in the system.
You have the same 24 hours to
establish as fine a living system as
the next woman, And you have no
more reason to be time tied than she
has.
BEAUTY ANSWERS.
Mede: Think I will have to start a
hairbrushing coitest one of these
day to inspire the more general use
of the ' hairbrush and -incidentally
patch up a whdle lot of differences
between departing hairs and careless
scalps. The brushing is exercise for
the scalp, and at the same time it
cleanses.it of dust and grime and dirt
from which Springs all manner of
hair troubles. So get out the hair
brush tonight and apply it for five
good round full minutes, and again in
the morning,- and keep that up for one
solid month..
Mrs. P. B. : I will give you two
waist exercises right away quickly,
so you won't have the excuse of not
knowing what to do another minute.
Stand with right foot forward about a
yard, hands raised above head; take a
deep breath; then slowly bring hands
to toes of extended foot, exhaling as
'you- go down. Keep left leg straight.
and bend right slightly. Do this three
times: then reverse, extending left
foot; repeat three times. Gradually in
crease to ten times each.
Then do this movement: Keep feet
firmly on floor about 20 inches apart,
hands over head; take a deep breath;
then turn to right from hips up.
Swing hands down with vim, and
touch the floor with left hand as near
the right heel as you can make it.
Reverse, trying to touch right hand
to left heel.
Gradually increase from day to day
until you can do this 10,- 15 or by the t
end of the month 20 times, j
C. K. : I am sorry, but I cannot rec-
ommend any proprietary article in
these columns nor in my personal
mail. However, I have some informa
tion on care of fhe scalp and hair
which I feel sure will be of invalui
able assistance to you, and which you
are quite welcome to in return for a
stamped addressed envelope. j
K. R. T.: The shape of one's lips
cannot be changed much after one has I
attained full growth, unless their un-j
shapeliness is due" to irregularities of 'I
the teeth which dental surgery may
correct, or to the practice of keeping
the corners of the mouth up in a smile '
in place of the downward drooping;
effect worn on so many unhappy'
looking faces.'
Editha: Lime water is a good mouth .
rinse; in fact, one of the best. Pour I
a little of it into a glass and, taking j
some in me inuuiu, luiue miuuga luc i
teeth.
. Distressed. The juice of a raw to
mato will remove fruit stains from the
nails. A solution of acetic acid and j
rose water, one part of the former
and 16 parts of the latter, is a good
thing to remove stains fromvthe nails, !
too, or powdered pumice stone and
peroxide will do it.
Anxious. Why are some folks so
nice and plump and you so painfully
angular? Why are some folks blonde
and some branette and some red
headed? Just born to curves or angles,
as a rule. Some avoid the curves by
an eye on the diet, and some encour
age angles by avoiding the foods they
should partake heartily of. To fatten
the arms and legs you have to fatten
all over. First thing, get ten hours'
sleep. Then remember thin people re
quire a'n abundant supply of energy
food or fuel foods, fats, sugars,
starches. Butter and oil are the best
fats, as they are less likely to dis
turb the digestion. Your problem is
to secure the largest number of cal
ories in the most digestible form.
Wouldn't you like me to send you a
little pamphlet giving -a couple of
diets for skinny folks, from which you
can get ideas for other menus? It
contains a list of the fattening foods
and other information. Too long to
print here. Send s. a. e.
Inquirer. A certain amount of pro
tein is absolutely necessary. It may
be reduced for a few days to little
or nothing without harm, yet deprived
of protein for long the body will
waste away. On the other hand, a
common error of diet consists in us
ing too much protein. This excessive
proportion is due to the extensive use
of eggs and meat, which are high in
protein. Most ordinary foods contain
more or less of it. Milk' should not
be taken between meals merely to
quench thirst, because it induces over
weight, unless, of course, you want
to fill out.
Sufferer. Just have a letter on my
desk from a woman who tried this
corn remedy after trying everything
else (read like a patent medicine ad,
eh?) and she vouches for its corn
chasing ability. Extract of cannabis
indica, 15 grains; salicylic acid, 1
dram; flexible collodion, 1 ounce. Mix
well and apply -with a tiny brush.
Repeat every night until "there ain't
any more corn."
Worried. If your hair is not natu
rally inclined to curl, trying to retain
a marcel in hot weather is discour
aging. It just has to be done oftener.
There must be a natural curl in the
hair to take the water wave well at
nil. It's just one of the weather dis
comforts we have to put up with. Be
thankful it isn't a worse one.
Aida. To apply the egg astringent
does not' require outside acid. Cleanse
the face with a good cold cream; wipe
off, and when the skin is dry apply
the white of the egg with a dry bristle
brush. ' Let the white dry, and then
apply a coating of the yolk of the egg.
When dried thoroughly, rinse with
cold water. Send s. a. e. for the
shampoo directions and the dandruff
remedy.
