Health Is Bass Of Beauty
Now. while Miss Ruth was obviously
in need of dress and grooming i~nstruc-
ton, my first few weeks efforts with
her were confined to the health build
ing regime. That's the only way you
can buoy the spirits UP and get the
face to wearing a smile. If We had
begun with the "coiff' and the mani
cures. the change might have been as

Left Hair Till Later
Not until the fourth week did we two
bother much about the arrangement of
the hair. Then. one day. | took her
over to a hairdresser and had him trim

to her head. Her hair was bobbed
when she presented herself to me; or
rather, | should say, it was pared off

over the ears, and descended in a
melancholy course down the back of
her neck. Now. the world may be di-
vided on the bobbed hair question. but
as it applies to a young person it must
be admitted that it may be trimmed to
give a chic turn TO the head providing
the neck is long and slender and the
rair is cut correctly. BY correctly is
meant to conform to the shape of the
head and face. SO, ! should urge a
little expenditure to find out from an

One thing about bobbed hair which
