Answer: Well, girls, let's begin with
your personal appearance. since that
is what strikes people in the eye, and
by which they make their first snap
judgment of you.
Don't dixie yourself out in cheap
finery. That is always a dead give
away of lack Of judgment and taste.
A plain frock of good material, spot
lessly clean and well-pressed. COM
mands respect wherever you go,
whereas sleazy silk and coarse lace
and imitation jewelry gives you that
all-dressed-up-and-nowhere-to-go ap-
pearance which make you figure
Of fun.
nON'T use too much cosmetics. It
O Is all right to help nature out
with little drug store complexion,
but don't daub on powder and rouge
until your face looks as painted up
as a barn door, and for mercy's sake
don't lay on the lipstick until your
mouth resembles a cut Of bloody meat.
1t makes delicate people squeamiSh.
Don't buy a gown or hat Just
because it Is the latest fashion re-
gardleSs Of whether it is becoming to
you. Think Of your nose and your
jaw when you buy a hat, and of
your weight when you buy a dress;
not Of whether it is the newest model.
Find out your colors. Study your
lines. And dress accordingly. A
girls clothes make or mar her.
Don't dress above your means.
Many a girl loses'a good husband be-
cause she always looks like a million
dollars and he figures that on his
salary he couldn't pay her shoe bill.
Nor does he want a wife whose soul
Is set on millinery and whose brains
are cut on the bias and frilled in
the middle.
DoN'T be artificial Don't put on
airs. Nothing is so attractive as
simplicity and sincerity. Nobody is
fool enough to be taken In by pre-
tense. You only make yourself re-
diculous If you talk about your butler
and your Rolls Royce when ony one
can see with half an eye that you do
your own housework and ride in a
bus. Nobody is fooled by your insist
ing that the reason you stand behind
counter is because you got bored
with society.
Don't copycat other girls. Get your
own line. II you are quiet, don't
jump around and scream because
some other girl is the life Of the
party. You won't be funny. You will
look like q case Of Mysteries. II you
are a big girl, don't try to be cute
and curl up on sofas. You will look
like q performing elephant. Just be
yourself and make hit of your own
bat.
Don't be loud. Don't wear clothes
that shout at people across the street.
Don't yell at your friends in public
places. 1t always rates you as COM
mon and vulgar. Refined people put

Don't be ashamed Of your Job II
you work. Be proud Of it. Put your
heart as well as your back into your
work and try to make 1t the kind that
Is worth while and worth paying for.

nON'T dress for the ofice as If you
were going to a party. Try to
look like competent business woman
who could run the whole shop by
herself instead Of understanding a
debutante who has just dropped into
the Office on her way to o cocktail
party.
Don't spend half Of your time re-
pairing your complexion. Do your
dressing before you leave home. And
don't think you can make sex appeal
a substitute for good work. 1t isn't.
Don't run after boys. Meet them
halfway, but don't chase them down
Be friendly and cordial to boys, show
them that you like them and that you
appreciate their attentions, but don't
look overjoyed when they notice you
and do f1ipfops of joy If they dats
you. The harder a girl is to get, the
more q boy values her. Don't tele.
