Tt is well worth while to be clean.
Cleanliness may not be next to
goodness in the list of human VIZ
tues, but it is not very far off.
1t certainly comes first in the list
of human attractive qualities. True
beauty being a thing of soul as
well as body, no one is beautiful
who is habitualiy dirty. Care of the
person is a mark of self-respect,
and will inspire respect in others.
Carelessness is the prime cause
of dirt. You forget to clean your
nails one morning, you skip your
bath that evening, you put on a
soiled dress the next day because
you did not get around to mend
your clean frock, and first thing
you know, your whole person pre-
SCENTS grimy and neglected ap-
pearance.
Cleanliness has more to do with
popularity, polse and charm Than
one might casually suppose. There
is nothing charming about black
lines under the nails, face that
it plainly unwashed, hair that is
oily and dull, or clothes that are
wrinkled, spotted and bearing too
plainly the signs of much wear
between washings. Cleanliness
brings a sparkle and freshness that
makes even a homely person at
tractive.

the advertisements politely call b.
10 IF YOU have sometimes wonder
ed why others were more popular,
more sought after, consider the
care you take of your self. The
reason may lie there.
Here are some suggestions put
forthaby the Cleanliness Institute.
For just one month, and every day
without fail, put on not single
article of clothing that is notice
ably soiled. Check up on every
thing: shoes, gloves, handkerchief,
scarfs, stockings, dresses, under
wear. Soap-scrub the nails once a
day with a stiff brush and push
the cuticle back with a towel
Cleanse the pores of your face
each day of the leftover powders
and creams as well as the dust
Shampoo the hair frequently, SC
that it is always lustrous and shin
ing. Underwear should be changed
at least twice a week, and stock
ings every day. These are simple
to rinse out in the wash bowl b.
fore retiring, and will be fresh
and ready for the next day if you
have only few changes.
Cleanliness is matter of time
not money. Soap and water are
cheap. It's up to you to use ar
abundance of them. In their wake
will come better health, better
looks, new friends, definite feel
ing of self-respect and well being

RIGHT COLOR CHOICES
ENHANCE PERSONALITY

With brown one of the dominat-
ing color for fall wear, there are
many women who will find it nee
essary to exercise careful judgment
in choosing becoming shade and
others who should avoid the color
entirely. Color may help an in
dividual to express herself and to
enhance her natural coloring, may
furnish an attractive personality,
or it may do the opposite of any or
all of these.
Brown, for many individuals, is
rather hard to wear, for it often
makes the hair appear lifeless, the
eyes dull, and the complexion sal
low and muddy. The simplest rule
in choosing color is to select an
intensity of color that harmonizes
with the intensity of coloring of
the individual. Each woman should
recognize her type and become
familiar with the colors that bring
out the best points of her hair,
eyes and complexion.
The true blonde with blue, gray
or green eyes, golden or light hair
and fair skin, usually without
! much color, will find brown very
hard color to wear because it DOM
mates her personality. She will
find that her best colors are the
soft shades and tints that do not
snuff out her delicate colorings.
Blues and blacks will also be good
for her for winter wear. Brown,
however, especially in the warm
/ shades, will be very good on the
golden-haired, brown-eyed blonde.
Most individuals Of the auburn
or titan type will find that brown
is very becoming to them. The
hair which is given first consider
alton when choosing colors for this
type, will harmonic most pleasing
ly with practically all shades of
this color.
The intermediate, that in-be-
tween type, can wear most colors
in the proper shade if handled
carefully. The rich, warm shades
of brown are what the individual
of this type should select if her
winter outfit is to be in this color.
Brunettes are of three decided
types, the light, the vivid, and the
olive brunettes. Brown is usually
very becoming to women of these
types, the warm brown being best
for the light brunette and the rich
golden brown for the olive brun-
cite.
The gray-haired type is an inter-
estine subject in the study Of color

That Isn't Funny
lLenora Bailey


A group of Mrs. Wallis first
grade girls were earnestly engaged
in showing each other the dolls
they had been making dresses for.
It was at the regular morning
intermission and by special permits

loved dolls out under the big maple

how to do it. Oo-oo."
Just then a line of the little
boys of the class ran past the girls
and Glenn, the class tease, snatch
ed the doll out of Mary Anne's
hands and ran few yards away
with it dangling by its feet.
"Don't do that! Give me my
DOLL" screamed Mary Anne in ter
ror.
The boys all laughed as the little
girl began to cry. Glenn kept just
out of her reach with the precious
doll.
"Cry-baby, cry!" yelled Glenn,
in savage glee.
Betty ran up to Glenn and look
ed at him seriously for a second
before speaking.
'That isn't funny, Glenn Wilson.
My mother said only bully will
tease girls and smaller boys"
"Oh, she did, did she, Miss
Smarty," and Glenn gave wicked
pull to q lock Of her hair.
"And she said boys who tease in
such rough way do not know
how hateful they are"
The approach of Miss Wall caus-
ed the boys to hurry away. Glenn
threw the doll into Betty's arms
and was off Immediately.
That afternoon after school
Glenn ran to his mother as was his
custom, but his manner was un-
usually thoughtful.
Mother, is 3 boy bully when
he teases?" he asked seriously.
"Tell me shout it, Son, and I'll
see."
