she is the more intelligent type. She
can wear black. effectively, as the
French women wear it. She can per-
nit herself little eccentricities of man.
ner. She can exercise great charm,
because people will expect it of her.
They will endow her with magnetism
OF manner, because, instinctively, they
expect 1t of her. She will not have
the appeal that the babyish blonde
will have; not for her are the sweet,
candid gaze. the dependent ways. She
is irresistible, but in a different way.
Now, surely you can see that if one
Of these girls tries to fit herself into
the others groove, she is going to lose
out. She will be a very square peg
in the roundest kind of hole.
These things know because years
Of studying women have taught me
to classify them almost at a glance.
They will have individuality, true
enough, but 1t will be based on certain
general types. The girls whom I Sc
lect for the Ziegfeld -Follies" are Of
all types; I select them because when
they como 10 me they have already
learned to develop their individuality
BY first learning along which lines it
must b brought out.
Why Wear . Maski
Yeu havs no doubt seen the masks
which Of late have been 20 popular !;
several dancers have worn them, and
have done dances TO fit them to ex-
press the type Of personality repre-
scented BY the masks. Now, II you be-
long to one type and try to make
yourself into another one, you might
just a. well Be wearing a mask. Fur
thermore, Il will be Q mask that won't
fit at all.
In arranging the different numbers
in the "Follies" IN which the girls
appear, great care Is exercised to pick
for each number the girls who are
best suited for it. For instance, there
may be some Of them who aren't at
all the fluffy-ruffles type. I can't use
them In a song like the Rambler
Rose" number, for instance; they
wouldn't fit into it at all. They can't
wear clothes Of that type, as well as
they can wear soft, clinging things.
On the other hand, the girls who
are not suited to that number are
most effective in one which is differ.
emily costumed.
Now, that's the way 1t is in life.
There'l be one brunette who is dis
tinctly Italian In type, for example.
She can wear hats with dropping
coque feathers, clinging black frocks,
dark, silky furs. People will have
feeling Of satisfaction when they
look at her; unconsciously they will
have the conviction that she is beau
tifully gowned, simply because she has
made herself decorative by being
suitably dressed, and because her ex-
preston fits in with her clothes.
Let her act like a vivacious flap
per, brunette of the type that has
a tilted nose, dancing eyes, a pouting
mouth, and she'll spoil her looks.
Study yourself il you want to be
beautiful. That is advice as old as
the pyramids, but It's good. never
theless. And few women realize It.
Study your face. Classify it. Then
don't Try TO sdopt moods and express
sions that don't belong TO you. Don't
try TO wear face that belongs to
someone else. Wear your own, and
make the most of it.
In many a town one very popu-
lar girl has made herself more attrac-
tive, simply because SO many less
popular girls tried to look like her.
