Beauty Chats = By Edna Kent FORBES
Ones Public Appearance

One OF THE HARDEST things the aver.
age woman finds is to seem grace
full and at her ease during public
appearances. Every woman is called
upon at various times to occupy the
attention Of a large number OF peo-
ple-it may be addressing club meet
ings, it may only be while in charge
o. some church entertainment And
at such times, commanding the full
attention Of a number of people, she
naturally wants to appear at her
very best.
Few things will give a woman this
feeling Of ease more quickly than a
pretty dress. Knowing that she
looks all right, that she is dressed to
draw the admiration of her au-
dience. she will quickly assume the
air OF leadership that is hers so
long as she holds the platform. She
should be, as an actress friend puts
it, pleasantly unconscious Of the
fact that she is looking awfully
well"
For the rest, ease comes with re-
peated appearances The first time
you are called upon to assume a
prominent place, you may feel a bit
like you did the first time you
spoke a piece" in school. The next
time you will feel more at home, and
pretty soon you will cease to feel at
all self-cOnscious.
Remember, though, that while in
a crowd Of people, you are over
looked by many, on a platform you
are the center Of all eyes, and that
the thoughts OF those in front Of you
are apt to stray from a deep con-
sideratiOn of your words to a careful
consideration Of your looks. Be
sure that you are as pretty as you
can make yourself. and before you
leave your own room, take a careful
survey Of yourself from all sides. A
casual glance may seem to show
everything Just right, but a view
from the back and the sides will as
sure you that you are looking well
from all angles.

Again she rose to go. Good after

But when she reached the door he
