How easy to understand this Is,

We are individuals. alike in

And the fact of the matter is
that not only are you and my

enormously different from each

exists for each and every person

To understand that truth Is

Not only is 1t correct, but, in the
well-planned wedding, it is taken
for granted that the bride outline

her attendants to wear, and the
bridegroom should do exactly the

so important is 1t that the attire
of every member of the wedding
party should be correct and most
carefully carried out that often
the bride and bridegroom have
their plans for the attire written
out or typewriter. And quite
sensible this is, too, and the list
should include every item of the

seeker is getting wise TO the fact
that the food she eats has much
to do with her looks. She is
learning something about the
value OF vitamines and mineral
salts. Many individuals eat too
much starchy foods and sweets

vegetables, fruits and fruit juices.

Rouge in compact form blows
away. Oily rouge spreads bet
ter. but must be blended carefully,
and it should be sandwiched be-
tween layers of powder. Liquid
rouge sticks like a friend and
brother; it should be applied with
a little cotton pad which has
first been dipped in water. Only
soap suds will remove it. Cold
cream won't make it bulge.
Finger nails should be SO
shaped as to extend in an oval
line beyond the finger tips. The
long line imparts a suggestion of
slenderness and deI.cacy. Some
kind of nail polish should be
used-powder, cake or liquid.
