day ! wish ] could carry out nv plan.
I would like to get all the really loNe ely
and really smart and really beautiful
women In our city to get all those little
girls together and tell just how to be
lovely and smart-lookins. too. You
see. after all, young girls who make
themselves up ridiculously, are pa
thetic little things. They are cropping
olindly in the dark after beauty.
Precedent is an ugly thing. All
around them the little girls see older
women who must have CROPPED in the
dark too. So they simply do the thing
that is being widely done. and V
stop to reason.
IT is foolish to condemn rouge and
powder and eyebrow pencil In a whole
sale fashion. They have their honest
usages. But the smart and lovely
women Of u city could tell the little
girls this: Youth is naturally endowed
with pink cheeks and bright eyes; it
does not neeo q drugstore complexion
until youth leaves. The smart and
lovely ome Of u city could tell the
little girls tina when the time for
makeup comes It cannot he slipped or
like an old glove. Makeup IS o high
arr. II a cannot go out with.
uut letting the world know she has
rouge on her face, she is better off
without II. As for drawing new eyes
on the face, I think the wOmen would
tell the girls that.
THE code of the really lovely woman
l. calls for exquisite cleanliness. This
is one Of the lessons that should be
into the minds of these little
OF whom we speak. Sometimes
one has a sneaking desire to scrub the
face and neck Of these grown-up chill.
whose Indefinitely shaded neCks
begin in an abrupt line under a very
chin. The code of the really
lovely woman calls for spotlessly clean
The code VI the really lovely
woman calls for u daily bath. for eXer,
Else, FOR eating plain healthy food and
for getting enough OF sleep each night.
I wish all the little girls in the world
who are groping for beauty could learn
this CODE and the 90 out into the
world each day radiating ~rleanness,
