Expert’s Advice

Dr, Erno Lazio, prominent beauty specialist devised this regimen. He’s formerly of Budapest’s Royal Hungarian Elizabeth University of Medical Science. He declares that even the fortunate who can afford to spend hours and small fortunes in salon treatments know an occasional late-winter letdown. So in the final analysis, a woman’s beauty salvation is very much her own business. And it takes homework.

His “musts” for a slim figure will doubtless develop your character too:

Make up Your mind never to ride anywhere that is less than 15 blocks, away.

Do your shopping on foot, not by car or taxi.

For five minutes every morning, before dressing, run around the room, dance to the radio or walk on your hands and feet.

Don’t deny yourself a proper amount of food.

Every night before bedtime, brush and comb your hair in all directions, with brush in one hand and comb in the other.

Carry a hairbrush in your handbag. When you retire to the locker room to primp, brush your hair.

All you’re glamorizing preparations come out of the icebox or the vegetable bin. If your skin’s normal, here’s your routine: Drink a glass of orange juice with the juice of half a lemon every morning when you get up. Grate two turnips, let them stand half an hour, add three tablespoons of melted butter and apply the paste to your clean face. Leave it on a couple of minutes and then wash off. Before going to bed, dip dampened cotton into the juice of a lemon and wash your face.

Dry skin victims get a gentler treatment – milk. If your complexion is so dry you think it might hold some sort of record, melt three tablespoons of butter in one cup of warm milk, apply with cotton and leave on half an hour.

 For Oily Skins

Your main trouble will be in having will power not to drink it all up. But t en you needn’t be that hungry this 10-day diet, Part 3 of the general beauty plan. Breakfast is a raw egg beaten into any kind of fruit juice, to be taken be­fore coffee or tea. Positively not toast.

Lunch consists of just one helping of food – anything you like – but only that one helping, nothing else. Dinner brings its reward m the form of a large salad first, followed by anything you want except bread and rich desserts.

Your midnight snack should be a large glass of grapefruit juice or a raw apple. And at cocktail parties, call upon your courage, refuse the second drink and look the other way when the canapes are passed.
