cover jack of personality and
magnetism with mannerisms," began
Josephine Victor in her very charm
ing voice. The real beginning had
been the delightful way my hostess
pro tenn. had greeted me at her dress
ing room door Even though one
glance had told me of wonderful great
brown eyes under crescent brows, of a
sensitive mouth. a clear cut, artistic
profile and masses of wavy dark hair,
was sure that charming Josephine
Victor could have no better secret to
impart than that of her own sweet,
gracious manner
Don't you think that the Iovable
girl. the popular girl, the successful
girl, too, must all be equipped with
manner that attracts. a personality
that wins friendship? And why not
learn grace of manner just as you
study grace in walking and dancing?
Josephine Victor has that bewitch-
ing beauty known as elusive" AS a
matter of fact II is not elusive at ALL
but is based on physical loveiiness
plus brains, personality and graceful
graciousness. You all love the Maria
Tamburri of the "Temperamental
Journey" Just as 1ovable is the
Josephine Victor of her dressing room
after the play at the Belasco theater
has rung down the final curtain
A WELL. MADE GOWN
IF gown is made with under
standing and earnest care it will have
good lines; it will bear inspection on
its own simple merits. If 1t is awk-
wardly cut and designed no trimming
viii hide its poor lines. it's ungraceful
fit. That is well TO remember in
gowning yourself For there is one
great rule for charm One rule ap-
plies to gowns and the women who
wear them. would like to give
credit for this great piece of know1-
edge TO the great teacher who I'M
parted il to me- Mr.. Belasco trained
me for the part that runs through the
play like q minor strain of sweetness
in music, by saying over and over:
Simple. Be simple. Miss yictor."
I would like to say that TO all
beauty seekers: SIMPLE. BE SIM
PIE" Affectation is never charming
If you permit your manner to become
overenusive = elaborate and airy =
you viii at once be accused of affec-
tation Arectation is insineere. Be
sincere: that will demand simplicity
1t viii give>you warm, sweet human
charm.
After you have cultivated sim
plicity. study being responsive Be
interested in people. Be interested in
all the great concerns of life that are
going on around you. Very often the
woman who appears a beauty while
YOU have but glanced at her perfect
features lacks the brains to bear care
full inspection She falls apart at the
touch Of reality-like all poorly con-
structed things!
The most beautiful picture in the
world would not be beautiful If it
were covered by dust and CRIME and
mold. I think stupidity and unsyrn-
pathetic nature and self-consciousness
hide beauty the same way.
Cultivate your knowledge OF life.
cultivate your interest in people and
things, learn to forget yourself. Then
your face win take on a radiance, an
intelligence. sweetness that will
make you beautiful even if your figure
and hair are without distinction.
THINK BEAUTY
THINK BEAUTIFUL THOUGHTS
They viii mold your face to be like
them. Your eyes will be like deep
pools in whose depth there is hidden
treasure. Your mouth will take on
sweet, fun lines Of graciousness. You
viii radiate charm.
Now, for a background you must
have the good health that comes from
the constant. painstaking care of the
woman who has the proper respect
for the value of the house that is her
body Good food. fresh air, exercise
no dissipation. These are the basis of
bodily health. And not to dissipate
means not to overindulge in anything,
good or bad. 1t means moderation
Be moderate and careful to protect
your health. That will give you a
foundation for your house OF beauty.
And now build the house according
70 the little rules that greater teach
ers than have found so effective. Be
simple. Be gracious. Be interested in
the splendid books there are TO study,
the fine people there are to know and
the worthy things there are to do. Be
gentle and kind and loving. Think
beautiful thoughts. do beautiful deeds.
And I am sure that you viii find your
self growing in beauty, like flower" :"
concluded gracious, simple and lovely
Josephine Victor.
