BEAUTY DOCTORS NEW BUG
Discovers That Woman's Good Looks
Are Regulated Largely by
Thermometer.

The photographers schedule was
disarranged half an hour because it
took that long to get the studio ex-
actly at a temperature of 20 degrees.
"And the Thermometer had to reg.
ister just that before the woman who
made an appointment for three
o'clock would consent to pose," he
said. Women who sit for photo
graphs are very particular nowadays
about the temperature of the room.
Beauty doctors have discovered that
a woman's good looks are regulated
largely by the thermometer. There
is certain degree of heat or cold
at which every woman looks her best,
BY experimenting the beauty spe-
cialist has found the becoming tenn
perature for each of his patrons, and
when the women visit a photogra-
pher no power on earth can persuade
them to 81. in a studio whose air is
above or below that figure. When
you handle succession Of subjects
whose beauty temperature varie,
from 60 to so degrees It Is not ar
