Vanity Key
To Health
And Beauty
By PATRICIA LINDSAY
THERE are the Grundys. mala
and female, who complain loud
ly about “vanity-case phobia.”
Wherever you look, say they, you
see a woman powdering her nose,
rouging her cheeks or putting on
fresh lipstick.
These Grundys would like to have
all cosmetics banished. But 1 won
der if they realize that in urging a
woman to throw away her beauty
aids they are urging her to throw
away her health and sanity!
For vanity is sanity! In nations
as well as in individuals. Russia,
mass mad for years, made the cost
ly experiment of crushing femi
nine vanity. Germany is doing it
today. One of the first signs of Rus
sia's restored sanity is the success
ful cosmetic trade in her larger cit
ies!
A pride in your personal appear
ance is a health barometer. If you
lack vanity you are not in normal
health. A woman without vanity is

either mentally depressed or
whipped—resigned to letting life
slip by.
Every Woman Should
Like to Look Well
Take the case of a young girl
whom 1 know. She suffered a col
lapse of nerves from financial re
verses and disappointment in a love
affair. She was talented and well
educated. During normal health she
was fastidious, but once her nerves
gave way, she let herself go. Her
hair was unkempt, her skin blotchy,
her clothes untidy. She became so
despondent that she would stand for
hours with her face turned toward a
wall!
Friends, and her physician failed
to pull this girl back to health. At
last a psychologist succeeded m
winning her confidence. He insisted
upon regular meals, daily duties,
hours of sleep, and (this is where
vanity enters) he insisted that each
morning and night she sit before her
mirror and go through a systematic
beauty routine.
He convinced her that happiness
was in store for her if she would
make the most of herself. He told
her she possessed both beauty and
charm. Gradually he made her live
up to these compliments.
In about three months that girl
was cured. She is now happily mar
ried (to a new beau!) and is suc
cessfully coping with a prominent
social position! What happened?
Her normal pride in her personal
appearance had been restored!
So don’t let a Grundy deprive you
of your vanity case and what it rep
resents. Hold on to it tightly and
mak% it serve you! Be assured that
a meticulous beauty gets far more
out of life than a drab, disheart
ened female!

HINT-OF-THE-DAY
Face Powders
The shade of your face powder,,
Its texture, and the way you apply
it can make or mar your makeup.
A good powder should give your skin
the flattering illusion of clarity.
Your skin must look clean and
clear and be suavely filmed with
powder in a shade that is compli
mentary, yet unobtrusive. It should
never be in a tone lighter than the
shade of your skin.
When you choose your powder, let
it be the best. It should be downy,
yet clinging so that it will not break
into patches an hour after you put
it on.
A good powder will also retain its
delightful fragrance as long as the
powder lasts. Many cheap powders
change fragrance after a week or
two; the original scent becomes oily
and sickening.
One of the leading cosmetic mak
ers has brought out a fine powder
in several exquisite shades. One is
called apricot, a lovely, warm shade
that does things for your skin un
der night lights. For daytime there
is a cream shade that is excellent
for the average clear complexion,
and an ivory that is flattering for
the pale brunette.
