To Please the Boy Friend.

Now that sounds like a silly thing
| to be warned against-dressing to
| please the boy friend.
| Yet the little habit of studying his
| tastes and opinions too closely has
| cost many a girl Il reputation as
| smart dresser.
| We all want to please the particular
he. But we must always remember
| in selecting clothes that few men are
as competent critics as the women we
don't like.
Men are apt to be pleased with
dress which is worn by a stunning
woman. They see the whole thing as
a pretty picture, and they comment
on the dress when they're really ap-
preciating the woman
Paula and Jerry were having dinner
the other night, and Jerry gave an ex.
clamation of pleasure as tall, dark
woman came into the room. Her hair
was cut in bizarre new style, fear
fully well suited TO her type. Gosh,
what a stunning cut" the boy ex-
claimed. Il cont think I've ever seen
hair done thar way. It's beautiful"
Paula eyed the other woman envi.
ously. How she wished she could
achieve that effect and make Jerry
proud of her She wondered where
that particular haircut might be done.
A few days later she found out, and
the next night a strangely shingled
Paula stood before her particular man
as he entered her drawing room.
jerry was bewildered and vaguely
pleased-because he'd selected that
kind of hair cut, and was f1attered
that Paula had taken the trouble to
try it.
Therefore, he told her that she was

him. What her friends had to say
about the spectacle she made of her
self with that scrawny, wispy effect
was another story.
linen, when Jerry saw a raVishing
sports costume in two shades of green
and whistled admiringly because the
girl who happened to be wearing it
was golden haired, Paula rushed off to
buy green Summer outfit.
The fact that she looks like a GU
cumber in green didn't deter her She
wanted to please Jerry. And, as
usual, Jerry was pleased that she'd
accepted his idea Again, he was
vaguely conscious of being rather dis
appointed, but was too polite to say so.
The other day Paula had the luck
to happen on really stunning eve-
ming frcck-a French model, greatly
reduced, of deep blue. which suited
her fearfully well. The dress was
soiled and rather worn, but could
easily he fixed up at cleaners.
In triumph, Paula led Jerry to the
shop. In triumph she displayed the
lovely frock. Jerry shook his head
obviously. He thought the dress
looked frumpy. Also he thought it
looked dirty, and he didn't like that
color blue. Yet if the dress had been
clean and a lovely Titan haired
beauty had been wearing it he'd have
been the first to want Paula to have
it. She passed up that dress for his
sake, and never knew that she'd sacri-
feed real style for a mans blundering
whim.
BY all means ask the boy friends
advice about clothes, but don't take it
too seriously. Many things he doesn't
like will become his favorites if you
wear them the right way at the right
time with the right manner.
Dress to please your man as much
as possible, but remember that it's
your woman friends who will judge
you most accurately.
