6Cr1 on cannot cover up an ill-cut
gown with frilIs. You can't
L cover lack of personality and
magnetism with mannerisms," began
Josephine Victor, in her very charming
voice. The real beginning had been the
delightful way my hostess pro tenn had
greeted me at her dressing room door.
Even though one glance had told me
of wonderful great brown eyes under
crescent brows. of a sensitive mouth,
a clearcut, 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 lOvable
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
matter of fact it is not elusive at all
but is based on physical loneliness
plus brains, personality and graceful
graciousness.
a Well Made Gown.
IF gown is made with under
standing and earnest care, it will have
good lines-it viii bear inspection on
its own simple merits II it is awk-
wardiy cut andd esigned, no trimming
will hide its poor lines, its ungrace-
full fit. That is well to remember in
gOwning yourself. For there is one
great rule for charm One rule applies
to gowns and the women who wear
them. l would like to give credit for
this great piece of knowledge to the
great teacher who impaired it to me
Mr.. Belasco trained me for the part by
saying over and over: -Simplei Be

beauty seekers: -Simplei Be simDler
Affectation is never charming. If you
permit your manner to become over
effusive-elabOrate and airy-you Will
at once be accused of affectation. AZ
fectation is insincere. Be sincere-that
VII demand simplicity. 1t win give
you a warm, sweet human charm.
After you have cultivated simple
ity, study being responsive. Be inter-
ested 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. 1 think stupidity and unsym-
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. They will
mold WOur 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 a background you must
have the good health that comes from
the constant, Dainstaking care of the
woman who has the proper respect
for the value of the house that is her
body. Good food, fresh air, exercise,
