XIIHEN Peggy was five years old.

uaL She had definite ideas as 10
the colors she liked best, the way
she wished her hair cut, the length
OF her socks and so on. What Sis
ter Jane or Cousin Helen chose
didn't matter. "Why must | do what
they DO. or wear what they wearT'
she would say.
AS she grew older. more and
more people would say: There's a
person. Interesting. individual"
Very suddenly something hap
pened. Some one made the mis-
take OF telling Peggy that she looked
very much Ike one OF the prominent
screen stars And Peggy was six
teen then. and self-conscious. She
started an intensive campaign OF i'm
ltation. AS :he screen star was re-
ported to wear her hair. Peggy wore

From another source Peggy learned
that her lumlnary liked extreme
gowns. which was all very well for
the screen star. but quite otherwise
for young Peggy.

she chose, the powder she pre-
ferred. the style OF her gowns, the
arrangement OF her hair: all these
Peggy not only knew. but initiated.
Study your own possibilities. not
your neighbor's or your screen
stars. IL is fine to initiate a shin

sufficiently similar and that a full
measure Of success may be expected.

without being eccentric. Study your
