WOMAN BEAUTIFUL

To hold herself well has now become
indispensable to the woman or girl who
wishes to make creditable figure in
the world of smartness. Lounging is
completely out of date. The directotre
style put 1t entirely out of court. The
adoption of the low bodice line for
ordinary day wear, with filling in OF
transparent chiffon, net or lace, imper-
atively demands that the shoulders be
held we'll back.
In this day of bought hair, when
even women who never before sported
any locks but their own have sue
cumbed to the demands of style, it is
indispensable il the scalp is not to suf-
fer that the hair be given frequent
rests.
If possible, do. not don your acquisi-
lions In the hair line early in the day.
Adopt a simple morning hair dressing
that brings the strain on the hair in a
different spot than when one is dressed
up.
1t is not enough to change the ar
rangement of the hair; it should be
allowed to hang for at least half an
hour each day. The woman who has
sewing or writing to do should seek the
privacy of her room. and, removing
hairpins, should let the hair hang until
the task is completed.
Whenever the hair is brushed or re-
arranged, draw the fingers through 1t
from the scalp outward for proper VEN
tilation and renewed vigor.
Sweet almond oil, cut with alcohol
and scented, makes an excellent brill
liantine for the hair. After the hair Is
dressed, put few drops of the LIQUID
in the palms of the hands and rub the
oil lightly over the hair; then brush 1t.
It gives a ulster that does not oil the
bulk of hair, yet adds brilliancy to dead
looking hair. Almond oil is preferable
to olive oil for the purpose.
People who live largely on fat tend to
acquire greasy, shiny, perspiring skin.
Those who take too little fat tend to
get dry. shriveled skin.
Undue consumption of tea, coffee,
cocoa and chocolate will make the skin

A woman who goes about with her
clothes awry, her hair untidy and her
hat on crooked owes the world an apoi-
ogy. If a woman isn't presentable 1t is
because she hasn't sense enough or en-
ergy enough to look better. Some kinds
of ugliness are caused by vulgar, selfish
thoughts. 1t is safe to say that any
fairly intelligent, active woman can
make herself attractive enough with a
little care and attention. The first rules
for identifying are: The daily bath
with soap, warm water and elbow exer-

the lungs, keeping your hands clean
and your face smiling. The other rules

Nagging and indulgence in bad tenn

of a woman. on her voice and on her
character. They shrivel up whatever
sweetness nature has put into her dis
position and make her unlovely. even
in the eyes of those who feel in duty
bound to give her affection.
1t is often hard to maintain silence
under provocation, but there is always
the open door of escape, you know.

from one side only, and what should be
important to every woman with pre-
lenses to refinement is the undlsputed
vulgarity OF pickering.
