How to do It? Well, you’ll feel cooler if you look cool, and there are lots of tricks to make you look as cool as a frosted lemonade! They’re beauty tricks which start with soap and water and end with a final dash of flowery cologne. Just as sure as you manage to look fresh and crisp and your best beau tells you so—well, you’ll feel better right away! So, defy old Sol and try a few of these. First, a warm or lukewarm tub or shower. If you prefer the tub, toss in one of the delightful preparations that turn it into a fra grant mass of bubbles. It’s fun, and cooling. Take your time, and relax every muscle in your body. If you’re addicted to firm rubbing with a rough towel in the drying-off process, give that up for summer and blot yourself dry as gently as possible. Next comes the bath pow der, and If you use a scented one, choose the same scent as your bath bubbles and your cologne. You don’t want to finish up with a mixture of perfumes! Once you’re In fresh, cool clothes, do your make-up carefully. Summer make-up should be lighter than you may use in the cooler months. Very little rouge, a deft hand with the powder, and your gayest lipstick, applied sparingly. You want to look as fresh and cool as a flower. You can help create that illusion of coolness and freshness through a more casual hair-do. Wear your hair a little further off your face, keep it softly curled, rather than in a set and formal coiffure. For the final touch to your hair, wet your fingers with cologne or toilet water and push the curls into place, dampening them very slightly with the fragrant liquid. A little more on the back of your neck and on your wrists, and a dab on your hanky, and you’re ready to go. Tie a gay little beau-catcher ribbon in your hair, and you’re off for fun and romance. Just as sure as you look as cool as you can, you’ll be a refreshing sight among your sweltering sisters, and that’s enough to make you feel as cool as a cucumber. There, now, don’t you feel cooler already? What are your beauty problems? Write: Marie Downing, Larieuse Beauty Bureau, 3309 Lindell Blvd., St. Louis, Mo., and she will be glad to answer them. Be sure to enclose a self-addressed, stamped envelope.
