Beauty Chats gyEda M Kent FORBES
The We1-Groomed Maid

THE FRENCH WOMEN are not beauti-
full in reality" said the man Just
back from Paris, but they're so
awfully well groomed you think
they're simply stunning. Even now,
when they are either comparative
Iy poor, or purposely doing with
out to send their 'poilus' little lux
uries, they look superb. I know
one woman who told NE she hadn't
bought even a shirtwaist since the
war started, whose clothes by all
present standards should be hor-
ribly out Of date, and my wife
agreed with me that she looked the
very essence Of fashion and beauty.
And I'll tell you why" he went
on, warming up to his subject,
cts Just because that woman
dressed herself so carefully.
never saw a spot or wrinkle on her
suits. her hats looked as though
she had posed them on her head as
a painter poses a model for artistic
effect, her veil was perfectly sd-
justed, she carried herself like a
ueen. Her skin was fresh and
pretty, and her hair never had a
Eisp out of place. That's why we
think the French women so pretty,
because they're so well groomed."
Which is wisdom that many a
woman should take to heart. Be
cause you can only afford a cheap
suit is no reason why you should
wear it earelessly; because you can
only buy one or two hats a season
is no reason why you must neglect
all your appearance, and go forth
looking as though you were put to-
gether in hurry.
Combing your hair costs you
nothing, so take time to see that
it is carefully and becomingly ar
ranged. Powder your skin lightly,
if that improves your appearance.
Pure powder does no harm. Be
sure your lingerie fits well, other
wise your outer clothes will not
look neat. Adjust your waist
carefully, and be certain your skirt
hangs evenly all around.
