DEAR WINNIE :

some of the interesting things PTS cilla Dean writes me, but have had so many things to tell you each week l have neglected her letters a bit, but I couldn't possibly her last one, as it is about young girls, and as we are both so interested in them hasten to share it with you She writes:
 'I am getting a bit out of patience with young girls who are so attractive in their youth and freshness that they do not require any artificial aid, yet who insist upon experimenting with a hundred and one remedies"
 'Tf she begins to use all these things at fifteen, by the time she is nineteen she will be hopelessly de- pendent upon them; and by the time she is twenty-five she will be willing to pay any price to undo the damage her excessive and totally unnecessary care has accomplished.
 What she ought to do is to live in the open air as much as possible, play games, get tanned, freckled, if needs be, forget all about her looks and think only of cultivating good health. She will be beautiful before she knows it. If she tans, it will be good, healthy tan.
 Fresh air and sunshine are the best possible aids to beautiful hair Don't begin doing it up on the head too soon. Let it hang loose as much as possible; wear it in braids; don't spoil it with hot irons and break it off with patent curl appliances. Be nat ural. Cultivate personal charm more and artificial complexions less and you will be referred to as beautiful much sooner than. you expect.
 Many prominent women of today who are reputed beautiful are, in real ity, plain looking. It is some higher and better quality shining forth through their personality which mag netizes and fascinates to the extent that the observer unhesitatingfy de- scribes them as beautiful.
 'I have written again and again that the very best aid to beauty is health. In nine cases out of ten, if the health is well cared for beauty will take. care of itself"
