any means. Irregular features, tall
ness and shortness are not the insur-
mountable barriers to beauty that
some girls imagine them to be. What
is essential is a certain poise and zest
in living which is magnetic.

If you have allowed yourself to fall
into this class and want to snap out
of 1t here's how to begin. You can
bring out the latent charm Of your
personality If you will plan systema-
tically for it. Concentrate first on
building up abounding health and
vitality. You may have to neglect
some of your usual duties and give up
some long-cherished habits, but if
you will make the necessary sacrifices
you are sure to win out in the end.
Your renewed physical force will make
all your old tasks lighter and you will
have energy to spare for those stim-
ulating. extra activities and hobbies
that you now lack the strength and
enthusiasm to pursue.
Begin by taking enough time for
sleep. If you are thin and below par

pep without regular exercise of some
kind to stir up your circulation. Five
minutes in the morning and 10 in the
evening should be given to exercises
for stretching and limbering the mus

organs. Deep breathing will come
naturally with brisk exercise.

essential. Eat intelligently. Most of
us know better than we practice when
it comes to eating. Think of your
meals as means of building a radiant
personality. Don't clog your system
with rich, indigestible foods. Don't let
an uneducated appetite ruin your
beauty. Learn to like spinach if you
haven't already done so.
