Beauty Routine
Suggested for
Business Girls
BY ALICIA HART


The pick-me-up beauty routine of
Miriam Hopkins, attractive blond
screen star, is sensible one that
any woman can follow It's espe-
clally interesting to the business girl
who dashes home at 5, faced with
the. ordeal of bathing, dressing and
looking fresh as daisy for a din
ner date at 7.
First of all, I get out of my
clothes and put on a warm, COM
Portable dressing gown" said Miri-
am. Then I put a thick coat of
cream on my face and throat, mas
sage it in and remove with soft
tissues. After that, I cover my
face with another layer of cream,
fill the tub with quite hot water,
add a few drops of pine oil and
get in.
when I have scrubbed my body
with long handled bath brush and
rinsed off the soap suds, cover my
eyes with cotton pads that have
been dipped in eye lotion and settle
back to relax for Is minutes. I try
not to think about anything i'm
portant and keep my eyes closed.
"Afterward, I turn on the cold
water faucet, let it run for three
minutes or until the bath water is
cold and I am shivering. Then I
get out, dry myself with a very
rough towel, remove the cream from
NV fono onI 1io 5Ouy1 in q do rL
room for another 10 minutes. When
I get up. I'm quite rested and my
skin looks fresh and clear"

SAAAo. WHICH Ill
crowd they are absolutely indiffer-
ent to each other; but when alone
each is in heaven. Both have told
me this. Is it impossible for this
sort of thing to exist between nor
NAL girls? If not, what is the rea-
son for such a circumstance? II
you can explain it would be a great
satis1s ction. INTERESTED.
AnsWer-These girls are still so
young that we can not interpret
their absorption in each other as
a permanent attitude toward life.
In youth all of us pass through a
phase when we prefer compan-
ionship with our own sex to the
trouble of adjusting to the
strangeness of the opposite. Most
of us have had inseparable COM
Partnerships with our own sex in
high school or college which have
been lightly referred to as
brushes" 1t is part of growing
up which we easily discard when
boys become more important to
girls and girls become more i'm
portant to boys.
Usually these school girl brushes
escape notice. Only the exagger-
ated cases cause any comment of
consequence. If I were going to
worry about the future welfare of
either of these girls, I believe it
would be the tom-boyish type.
When girl is obsessed with the
desire to be a boy it indicates
that she is pretty thoroughly dis
couraged with the feminine role
in life, and since the feminine role
is the only one she will have the
chance to play, she is counting
failure in choosing any other goal.
can not explain her discour-
agement without knowledge of
her family background. In our
society it is still believed that
men have the best of it in life.
The equality of the sexes has not
yet been established in spite of
the steps taken toward it. Many
parents still feel that it is an adj
vantage to have sons. Some care
lessly dropped remarks such as
Il am SO glad my first child was a
boy" may influence the little girl
to feel that her sex is somehow
inferior.
If the feeling persists, she may
take her father for her PERSONAL
ity -.eal or struggle to emulate
her brothers and their friends.
Again no harm is done unless eX-
aggeration occurs. Many girls
Who envy the masculine role
marry men less aggressive than
