of the cruelest Of crimes.
All this being true, what can we

want to become beautiful swans:
l. Undesirable mental complexes
have a way of dissolving into thin

Look back into your childhood and
you will see just how your infer!ority
complex grew, and make up your
mind not to permit the silly. thought
less opinions Of others to stamp them
selves upon your life.
2. Do all in your power to develop
physical fitness. which Is not mere
absence of aches and pains, but Is
radiant, magnetic healthfulness. Be
an expert at some sport. Cultivate
an erect, graceful posture. Poor
posture and lack of poise are what
make woman look dowdy in spite Of
good clothes.
3. Even If your features are not
perfect. there is nothing to prevent
your having we'll groomed hair and
hands. Dark skins may be bleached,
blemishes removed and wrinkles
smoothed away. Attention to each
small detail will give you perfect
ensemble.
4. Clothes are important to every
woman. but especially to the girl
whose face is not her fortune. She
should be careful to maintain color
harmony between frock. footwear, hat
and coat. Colors should be chosen
to harmonize with skin tfnts pr1-
marily. A dark-skinned brunette can
not wear the same shades that are
becoming to a fair-skinned one. An
ashen bonds colors are different from
those Of the pure blond.
5. Be kind and make sunshine for
others. Forget yourself.

The biggest obstacle in the path of

the criticisms and unkind comments
Of thoughtless relatives and friends.
Psychologists call this self-deprecatory
