of Defects

NEW YORK, March IA wom-
an has only herself to blame Is she
is ugly today.
Clothes being the fine art that
they are and a whole world Of ex-
perts waiting to help women select
theml
That is the opinion Of the inter
esting Reynaldo LULA, italian art
ist, whose Partisan sketches appear
IN fashion magazines and who is
visiting America now.
Personally, LULA prefers a so
called ugly woman who is attrac-
tive and smart to a pretty woman
who isn't"
Smartness Most Important
Being smart, Of course, is the
way out Of ugliness, according to
LULA. This entails faultless cos
tuning, meticulous, grooming, poise
and certain pleasing individuality.
"Smartness, OF chic, as the Pa
risians call It," LULA explained, 'is
process of cultivation Of taste.
The clothes a woman picks are the
exterior sign Of its elimination"
The day is gone when the woman
with no particular good features or
even with bad features need stay
at home and mourn them, accord
Ing to Luza's opinion.
The vogue Of smartness came as
their salvation. Today the woman
who causes the most futters Of
envy in feminine breasts when she
enters a room Is not the pretty
one, but the smartly gowned and
groomed woman!
Faults Can Be Blessings
II you have too heavy a face, too
high a forehead, too large a nose
something can be done to counter
balance the faults or even make
them blessings of individuality, in
disguise, LULA thinks.
He has seen too many ravish-
ingly smart women and knows too
much about fashions not to appre-
ciate how some Of these smart wom-
en- got so chic!
Here are a few pointers he re-
luctantly gave, for he believes no
woman can arrive at smartness by
set rules but by individual expert
ment.
If you have a big nose, don't
wear the small, smart, back-on-
the-hair hats. There are plenty of
other chic shapes that will become
you and not high-light your nose.
If you have ugly legs, wear dark
stockings, good ones; wear your
skirts longer.
Use Caution With CoI0rs
II you haven't any idea what
colors to wear, stick to black or
white or black and white, if you
would be wise, because, "You have
no idea how predominating these
color combinations are among smart
women on the continent" he added,
for they are so universally be-
coming"
But-why not try to analyze your
coloring, your figure, your type?
Save a nest egg and go to some re-
liable couturier and get one per-
feet outfit, one that is absolutely
hattering, one that you feel at home
in.
Use it as a guide until you dis
cover other lines and combinations
Of Colors that bring out your eyes.
Show Your Hair
If your forehead is high and not
lovely, show your hair. If you have
large ears, cover them and don't
wear jangling earrings. Above all,
1t is a mistake to wear a gorgeous
pair of earrings that add nothing
TO your appearance, just because
they are heirloomsl
AS a little help In selecting COL
ors with which to experiment Luza
gives these hints:
Dark women, brunetS, can wear
strong colors, red, orange, black
white combinations, oriental de-
signs of gold.

white, silver, black and white and
white. Red-haired women are the
easiest to pick things for, because
the odd greens. the lovely blues,
often certain pinks, are daring but
tremendously successful.
Men Notice Hats Most
Sometimes women with little |
money know what to buy and what |
to wear and they are successes"
LULA explained. ut is mistake to
buy pretty things just because they |
appeal to you. 1t is much harder
to pick up clothes that make you
look your best self.
"Since women dress for men, I |
think most men pay attention to
hats and the way a woman wears
her hair almost first of ALL" he ex-
planned. Therefore the choice of |
Coiffures and hats is very impor-
tant to a woman's whole line of
beauty Of smartneSs."
Last, but not least, Luza would
advise women in quest of chic to
so easy and carefully on accessor-
