Glorifying Yourself Holiday Reunion Held At Coahoma COAHOMA, Dec. 30-- Mr Mrs. Ira Mlnchev were hosts for a holiday reunion'at their home seven miles north of Coahoma. Those present were Mr. and Mrs.

BY ALICIA HART NEA Service Staff Writer The fact that your budget is ex- remely limited is no excuse at all lor not being well groomed day in and day out. As a matter of fact, one who has only a few beauty pre- aratkms and a rather skimpy Mrdrobe often can learn to use the reparatlons more carefully and to seep- her clothes In better order lan the woman who has a drawer full of creams and lotions, more dresses than she can count. Absolute cleanliness is the fundamental of perfect grooming, of course.

And, since soap 'and water cost very little, no one can offer o' funds as an excuse for not being quite clean, fresh and dainty. The price of a daily bath, shampoo and lukewarm soapsuds in which to wash underwear and stockings every night is so little ht it couldn't possibly make a noticeable dent in any budget. Diminutive, -too, Is the cost of enough electricity to heat an iron with which to press dresses and suits. And, though you may dread the initial expense, shoetrees and hat-stands arc not expensive in the Ions, run. Neither are tiny metal curlers with which to keep ends of hair neat and attractive or a few necessary manicure Implements to keep nails lovely.

When you think of beauty and grooming in terms of soap and water, you are less likely to make excuses for yourself on the days when you know you are not looking your best. It you think of it in terms of the most you can do with what you can" afford, the entire business of staying young-looking and attractive through the years seems less over-powering. If you have only one cream, use it regularly and carefully each night. Remember that homemadi masks (egg, almond meal and so on) really are efficacious, that ice cold water, while not a substitute for A good tonic really does tem to keep cheeks firm, skin glowing with color. Lemon juice is one the very best elbow bleaches brushing alone will keep the aver age hair lovely, olive oil Is won deriul for a dry scalp, chappc hands, rough ankles and heels.
