Beauty Chats BzEaa M Kent Fe=Rs;
If You re Not Pretty

Or COURSE YOU ARE THOUGH. Every
young girl is pretty because youth
itself is charm, and every good-na-
tured woman is pretty because a
kindly nature is but the mannerism
Of a sweet soul, and sweetness is
beauty. If you are middle-aged
and Cross, of course then you're not
pretty-but in that case, you
wouldn't be reading this.
However, you may not have a
pretty neck, or rounded arms, OF
well-formed shoulders, though quite
up to beauty standards otherwise.
Well-where Nature fails, Fashion
usually comes to the rescue.
II your arms are long and thin
and the elbows sharp and red look
ing, always wear long sleeves. Of
course you will be trying arm exer-
cises to overcome the thinness, and
you will swim, If you can. to make
them firm, and you will massage
with olive oil to make the skin
creamy and 70 add flesh. But
meantime. you will wear long
sleeved blouses with your suits,
long chiffon sleeves on your silk
dresses, long straight chiffon, lace,
OF double net sleeves with your
evening gowns-sleeVes full at the
end, so they fall back along the
arm with every movement, never
quite revealing its thinness, but
giving a sleeveless effect.
You will find deep narrow V
neck's splendid, as they give
decoIIete effect to a dressy gown,
and as they do not show the promi-
nent clayicle bones-collar bones.
You will find the present craze for
maline scarves a blessing, for
these wisps of net cover up and
soften harsh outlines, and preserve
the airy effect of party frock-
II your hands are large and
homely, wear long sleeves, with
rufles reaching down over the
hands: or gowns with the full
straight sleeves, that fall wide and
soft about the wrist, making the
hand seem small by contrast
