| Ii you are not beautiful-and what woman ever
felt herself to be as beautiful as she would like
to be?-you should consult your dressmaker and
some reliable beauty doctor. Do not 90 too ex-
tensively into a selftrea tment scheme unless YOU
happen to know positively that they are just
what you need, for what might suit some other
womans complexion might have the effect of
running yours. You cannot afford to run the
risk you know, of spelling the little that Mother
Nature has given you to work on.
LOOK TO THE DRESSMAKER.
The aid of your dressmaker is fully as neces-
sary as that of the beauty doctor. Sometimes
a happy combination of colors, or. a certain cut,
will lend woman an appearance of beauty
which is not really hers, and little extra full
ness here OF little severity there, placed by
practiced hand, will serve to hide many defects
The short woman be made to appear tall by
the artful arrangement of long lines from shoul-
der to foot, and the tall woman not nearly so
gigantic by means of skirt trimmed horizontally.
These things which every woman knows, but
when she looks in the glass and bemoans her
lack of beauty, it is time to call them to mind
| 1t is imperative for every woman to strive to
retain her youthful appearance as long as posi-
BILE, but if the ugly woman cannot succeed in
doing go, her last chance is gone. The best way
to appear young is to retain your grlish figure
The minute you get fat and start to wadde, you
might as well give up your last chance of trying
to fool people, because after that they will only
laugh at you.
To keep the girlish lines, you should wear
good, strong corset all the time. This means that
you are not to indulge yourself at any time in
the luxury of kimono. You should take cold
plunges, and plenty of exercise. Do not allow
yourself any rich or fattening foods. Never per
NIT yourself to become lazy nor to take life more
|
Another way to keep young is to surround
yourself with young people, to interest yourself
in all their comings and goings and sayings, and
to chaperone them much as possible. Only
you must not constitute yourself their censor;
you must be really young with them.
It's an old, old saying that woman is as old
as she looks, but that does not make it any the
less true. And if you feel young, you just can
not help looking young, you know.
BEAUTY is A DUTY.
