Miss America Writes On Beauty
By MISS AMERICA

l feel so grateful to the world for
the honor of being selected as Miss
America, that l want very much
to express my appreciation.
And I would love to tell my
beauty secrets, as l have been re-
quested to do, and to broadcast
them to the whole wide world-if
could.
But here's my humble confess
sion-I haven't any beauty secrets
But then I'll make another confes-
sion i believe no one has any. l be-
Iieve there is no such. thing as a
beauty secret. I believe every fact
about beauty is open for all to read.
| believe there never was a secret
about beauty. To be sure, Cleo
patra called upon the scientists of
her day to compound lotions to pre-
serve her beauty and the beauties
of the French court guarded their
creams more closely than they did
their regulations.
But we have no evidence to sup
port the claim that any of these
so-called secrets ever amounted to
anything. The world is full lof To-
tions, cheap and costly, but it isn't
full of beauty.
I have certain theories about
beauty, based upon my observations
and my experience, which aren't
particularly original, but which l. am
glad to explain. But there is moth
ing secret about them, or nothing
any girl today doesn't believe and
practice if she really wants to be
beautiful
Most of us would rather think
beauty as something that is the re.
suit of secret magic rather than
a natural result of natural living II
takes the responsibility away from
Us to believe beauty is mysterious |
But we all know it isn't.
believe in the grand-out-of-
doors as the giver of all GOOD and
perfect figures and complexion
That's my first credo. And here
would like to arise and salute INV
