But perhai s | the most important factor of all was the birth of the moving picture in dustry, with it's curly haired, starry eyed heroines, which brought the art
 of makeup directly before the gaze of | thousands of admiring flappers- In the old days of the 18th century | there were beauties but theys were
 extremely rare. That is why they
 created such furore. Today, charm
 is so usual among the feminine popu- | lation that it is the hornely girl who | startles. The new flappers can pro- | duce a certain amount of good looks as easily as we produce watches and breakfast food. It is no trouble at all to be attractive, if you know the ar,
 of improvement.
 In the old days. if a flapper had

In Defense of Flappers

the new fiapper has performed a great service for her country by rais- ing the standard of feminine beauty. You should have seen us back in 1890 plain and prim and proper. It was all right if you happened to be born beautiful, of course. but if you didn't happen to be, there was not a thing you could do about it. Rouge and lipsticks were out of the question while hair dye was unmentionable even in the family circle.
