Through a Woman's Eyes

Hauing a Good Time

Bet compared with the fidgety, self
conscious girl. the awry sister Will al
Ways be the belle Of the ball.
You may be as pretty and fresh as If
you had just stepped out of n bandbox
and know all the latest steps. But II
you dance like an automaton because
you want to keep your sash in place
and don't know what man is talking
about because you are wondering
whether your net il on straight, he GER
tainly will not come back for more.
You may have a brilliant mind. but
If it is constantly occupied with thoughts
of how you look and whether you are
making an impression 1t Is not going to
entrance any one.
One of the original seven charms is n
girls nnturalness. And while 1t Is n
good plan to do your hair becOmingly
and study yourself for the right kind Of
clothes, once you get them on forget
about them, forget about your hair and
anything else pertaining to yourself.
Be interested in what goes on about
you and think only about having a good
time. And then even IL few hairs
do get out of place, the man at your
side will not notice 1t If your laugh is
free and you are listening to what he Is
saying.
Try it, Annette, and see If you don't

Read Your Character
BIZ Digby Phillips
Big and Small Hips

sS'b ohu amps
You probably wouldn't imagine that
hips have much to do with revelation
of character.
They haven't as much as some char
acteristics have, II is true. Neverthe-
less. they are by no means a negligible
factor.
You must make certain mental dis.
counts. Of course. of the significance
of big hips in women and men. for
women naturally have larger hips than
men in proportion to their other meas
urements and hip measurements that
would be considered large In man
would be small In a woman.
Taking this fnctor, then. on the basis
of the extremes In the two sexes con-
sidered separately, large hips denote a
tendency to think slowly and act quick
ly. (Do you object that exactly the
opposite tendency Is shown in the re.
ceding forehead and prominent chin of
the person you have in mind? Then
Immediately modify slightly the indica-
tion of the forehead and chin. but don Z
let the evidence Of the big hips neutral

Of self control than small hips. a great
er measure of sensitiveness and impress
sionability, a less measure Of dominating
tendency, Of aGgreSsivcncss; less
measure of creativeness small hips
show less sympathetic tendency than
large ones, but more practically, a
greater tendency toward abstract theory
and less toward the purely personal
outlook.
But at best. though by no means
negligible. the significance of large and
small hips should be regarded as modi-
fications of main character indications
rather than as positive factors.
