:: Beauty Secrets of Beautiful Women ::
Christine Yornnan,s For The Goo Thin" Women
RrIiIIIan Lauferty.

X HRISTINE Norman is exactly the
sort of girl you would be If you
~ could ch0Cse-prettys sweet
Gracious. alert. honest with herself and
sympathetic with all Of life Aud II
YOU have seen Peg o Ny heart" you
would never guess it!
In that play she has 10 play the part
of a girl whose cold, selfcentereds IN
svmpathetic nature makes life a bur-
den for the dear little irish cousin
Exit the girl OF the play, and enter
Christine Norman and JOY 10 the near
of the interviewer at the same time
Miss NOrman's manner is as Wnole-
some and unaffected as her own pretty
pink and white room, and her mind IS
as Interestingly many sided as the vast
array OF vastly differing books that
are so prevalent all about her room
Now, how could 1 have a beauty
secret2' she laughed. Look at her
pictures and you viii sympathlze with
my thought that Heaven and the good
fairies had been so kind that beauty
secrets were scarcely needed.
However 1 have a very Original
trouble for these days she went on,
cheeriIy. i have the unusual horror
of getting too thini Once / did be
come terribly thin-and ! had TO go on
the milk cure, nothing but milk for
seven weeks and quarts and quarts a
day all that time. Even now whenever
1 start losing L proceed to drink eight
glasses Of milk a day. Honestly now
aren't curves much prettler Ihan
angles2 And when Cubist types 90 out
of style and women want to get hack
to normal recommend the milk cure
to their attention
An Easy Cure.
"a milk cure is an easy thing for
me to take, because I am not a par
ticularly carnivorous animal I believe
ffrr1n w in "a Of a 1 n
quantities and eating very sparingly OF
meat A luncheon Of vegetables, salad
and fruit is my ideal for hot weather
diet.
But I really don't believe in ex-
tremes-enOugh sleep-eight hours for
a woman who is using up her supply
Of energy in the strain of brain work
enough nOurishiug food, with choco-
lates most earnestly omitted enough
fresh air, enough play, and, above ali,
enough reading to keep you in toucn
with big thoughts, new ideas in the
worlds progress. With enough of all
these things, sanely blended and leaV-
ened with ambition to find out what
you can do and energy to do 1t, we
ought all have the beauty Of clean,
sane health, at any rate, ought we
nOt2"
Answering question with question,
Queried. But for the beauty that al
lures the eye, don't you think we can
all cultivate a bit of that over and
above our natural dOWer?'
'Oh. yes" said Miss Norman. Il think
We can, and we should. too. Now. after
she is about % almost any wOman's
facial muscles begin to sag a bit If
she can afford a dollar a week I think
every woman should go to a good
masseuse and have those muscles
trained upward again. If not, 7 think
one treatment and a careful ObserTa-
ton of methods are well worth while.
Then the puchase Of a jar of good cold
cream, and the woman can start muscle
building on her own account
Some people think II so foolish, al
most immoral, to try to save beauty.
Now, would these very people wear
suits that needed pressing and spOng-
ing and braid seWed On2 Well, I think
we should keep our bodies in at least
as good trim as our clothes-clean and
in the pink of Wellcaredfor condition.
Easily Acquired.
Ihen II We are as sensible about
learning what to do with our looks as
We are about proudly developing any
talent we happen TO have, a reputa-
ton for beauty's charming sister-at-
ness-ought to be easily ac-
qulred. know a very pretty girl who
sometimes looks attractive quite aC-
simply does not know whether her
hair should be parted over her left
eye or worn pOmpadOur. She has no
idea whether her hats should have tall
quilts in front or drOOpy bows at the
back A mirror, a little common sense
and proper Independence OF fads would
teach her the simple solution to what
ought not 10 be a puzzle at all
But truly, I don't think we can be
a beautiful race until we give the gem
erations beauty to inherit. Heredity
to give you strength and power and
