have your face massaged. Massage is an expensive operation, but a useful one; you should therefore profit by it as much as you can, and not hesitate to ask the expert about whatever concerns you.

Facial massage is a tonic both to the spirit and to the body. That is why the face looks fresh and its lines relax after massage; for by this operation you will have taken a step toward stopping the hand of the clock.

Some objector may say: and what proof have we of the practical benefit of massage? The answer is that massage takes the place of physical exercises, for it strengthens the muscles by quickening the flow of blood through them; it also checks dryness and the excessive oily secretions of the skin — and this is important, since women, even the young among them, very often do not enjoy healthy skin. Massage benefits the complexion as much as it benefits the muscles beneath.

The alert woman can learn the method of massage after watching it a few times at the beauty parlor. And you should not be afraid to ask what kind of lotion or cream suits the skin of your face.

Astringent preparations are always used in facial massage to firm its muscles and keep the skin from sagging. Some beauty salons also specialize in skin-refreshing massage treatments, using ointments extracted from herbs. After this last treatment with ointments, it is advisable for the lady to take a hot Turkish bath to release the excess oils from the pores.

The Pampered Child
In'am Ra'd
They say that pampering
came down one night
and wrapped you in supplication,
for all that is in the world,
and all that now exists,
was praying to its Lord
that you be born for perfection.
*
And the day you were born to us,
the tears of fancy welled up,
the eyes of radiance were choked,
and the mountains rent their garments.
"Can there be mournings in the world?"—
your lips are pledged to the question.
And we have a right to lament,
for after you, beauty has died...
