Beauty Secrets of Beautiful Women
010 Build 1t Up Keep It, and It, Josephine Victor
By MAUDE MILLER.

"NToU can not cover up an AI-cut
gown with frills. You can't
cover a lack of personality and
magnetism with mannerisms," began
Josephine Victor in her very charm
ing voice. The real beginning had
Oeen the delightful way my hostess
pro TEN had greeted me at her dress
ing room door at the Belasco Theater
In New York.
Josephine Victor has that bewitch-
"is beauty known as elusive" As a
matter Of fact 1t is not elusive at all,
put Is based on physical loneliness
Plus brains, personality and graceful
seriousness.
A Well Made Gown.
II a gown is made with under
standing and earnest care, it will have
good lines-it will bear inspection on
us own simple merits. II It is awk-
"ardly cut and designed, no trimming
VIII hide its poor lines, its ungrace-
Iul Mt. That is well to remember in
sowning yourself. For there is one
great rule for charm. One rule APP
pies TO gowns and the women VINO
wear them l would like to give cred
II LOT this great piece of knowledge
10 the great teacher who impaired it
10 me, Mr.. Belasco trained me for
me part that runs through the play
IKE a minor strain of sweetness in
music, by saying over and over:
simple! Be simple, Miss Victor!
would like to say that to all
beauty seekers: SIMPLE! BE SIM
lie! Afectation is never charming.
IL you permit your manner to become
Observation-Disclosures and airy-you
VIII at once be accused of affectation.
A1ectation is insincere Be sincere
That will demand simplicity. It will
give you a warm, sweet human charm.
After you have cultivated simplic-
lty, study being responsive. Be inter
ested in people. Be interested in all
the great concerns OF life that arc
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
careful inspection. She falls apart az
the touch of reality-like all poorly
constructed things!
The most beautiful picture in the
world would not be beautiful II II
were covered by dust and CRIME and
mold. l think stupidity and uusym-
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 will take on a radiance, an
intelligence, a sweetness that will
make you beautiful even if your figure
and hair are without distinction
Think Beauty.
, THINK BEAUTIFUL THOUGHTS.
FThey will 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, full lines of graciousness. You
will radiate charm.
Now for 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 founda-
ton for your house of beauty"
