Today Janet Gaynor looks like q

Yet she graduated into movies 10
years ago. And at that time she was

with brown sugar and little molasses
and run them in the oven for a few

Easy Task
BY EMILY POST.

nEAR MRS. POST: We are two
girls who have a dear friend in
common who is very careless about
her appearance. She is extremely at
tractive except for number of mex
cusably slovenly habits. We have been
wondering if there is nothing we can
do to change the worst of these with
out sacrificing the friendship Of one
whom we love so dearly.
Answer: This is something that has
too many personal equations to permit
giving definite answer further than
TO remind you that no matter how
loyal your intentions there Is always
danger of smugness in setting yourself
up as mentor to your friends. There
are, however. several methods Of max
ing people aware Of their shortcom-
tngs, one Of which may perhaps be
practical in this instance. One meth
cd is to yourself do in her presence
whatever it is you object to most and
let another criticize you. Keep this
up long enough to make an impress
sion. Perhaps finally drag her into
the culprit class with you by protest.
ing to your mentor, why do you fnd
fault with me? Am any less care
less than jenny" Then they so,
mo; Jenny does the same thing"
Perhaps better method is to tell her
frankly-and alone-that she is in
every other way such a lovely person
you just can't bear to see her do
whatever it is. If she has complete
faith in your affection she will prob
ably take it in good part, but from q
less devoted friend this method has
about one chance for success against
nine for estranging her friendship.
The cleverest method is frank ridicule.
1t must be lightly and impersonally
but ruthlessly done. This requires a
very definite talent on your part and
unless you are naturally wit, mimic
and tease the chances Of failure are
at least 90 to 1.

- the most lights and causes the
most tears to be shed is not our for
eign policy or how to balance the bud
get, but whether 15-year-old girls
shall be permitted to have dates.
Every day the postman fairly stag
gers to my door under his load of let
ters which importune me to help set
tie this burning question. Mothers by
the hundred write that they don't
know what to do with their Sadie or
Lily or Gwendolyn. She is only Is, a
mere babe in mothers eyes. yet she
wants to step out with the boys. And
when mother won't permit it, she re-
CARDS mother as a grinding tyrant
and goes about with the air Of q
martyr.
Mother considers Is entirely too
young for a girl to think about boys.
Nice girls didn't go out alone with
young men in her day until after they
were 19 OF 20, and what the younger
generation Is coming to, wanting the
privileges Of grown-ups before ever
they have cut their wisdom teeth,
goodness only knows. Nor does she
know how to stop Sadie or Lily or
Gwendolyn from going out when
Maud and Susie and Polly are OF to
the movies with Tom, Dick and Harry.
Il \
A ND Sadie and Lily and Gwendolyn
write, with the paper blistered
with their tears, of the cruel and in
human way their mothers are treating
them in depriving them Of all of the
joys of life for no other reason than
because they have the misfortune to be
only Is. OF course, poor mother means
well, but she is terribly old-all Of Al
or 42-and she Is old-fashioned and
behind the times in her ideas, and she
Just doesn't know how things have
changed. She Just isn't modern.
Maybe, writes Miss Fifteen, girls
didn't have dates until they were old
maids of 19 or 20 when mother was
young. Maybe girls were so dumb
then that they didn't know how to take
care Of themselves and had to be kept
at home for fear of getting lost, strayed
or stolen. But, gosh! things aren't
that way nowl A girl Of Is knows her
way about, is perfectly capable of
taking care of herself and there isn't
any sense in a mother not letting her
go to places with the boys and have
some fun while she Is still young
enough to enjoy herself. Anyway, "all
the girls are doing 1t and it makes a
girl look ridic" for her mother to keep
her tied to her apon strings.
So the argument goes. with much to
be said on the mothers side and some
thing to be said on the girls side.
Naturally, those Of us who belong to
the older generation will agree with
the mother in principle. Fifteen Is too
early for q girl to "set out" as the old
phrase used to 60. We feel that her
thoughts and interests should still
be those of childhood instead Of be-
ing preoccupied with matters Of sex
and sentiment. And we know only too
well that in spite of Fifteen's boasted
sophistication that she is in reality as
ignorant of the world as a babe un-
born and as little equipped to protect
herself as a lamb In lions den.

~RUISES being the order of the
day, we thought it quite apro-
pos to take a beauty cruise,
stopping to explain the points
of interest along the way.
The Port of Hearts Desire is the
fresh, natural loveliness that every
woman treasures and that every man
admires. Fortunately we have left
forever the ''pretty-pretty" shores of
doll-like beauty once popular. Since
the turn of the century intelligent
women have charted a new course
true beauty based on radiant health
and proper care of natural complex
ions.
Thirty years ago two now-famous
beauty counselors pushed aside the
drab artifices of the 1905 and tried
out their own ideas. Their contribu-
ton to a true science of beauty has
been rewarded by grateful public
of appreciative women everywhere.
Their beauty aids have pioneered in
the field Of newer, scientific types of
preparations. Today in spotless re-
search laboratories, skillful specialists
help develop new contributions to
beauty lore, creating preparations for
convenient home use, reasonably
priced.
Join the thousands of women who
have found that the beauty cruise"
leads to a land of imagination, new
courage, new youth. 1t is easy to re-
tain your natural lovelineSs and create
new beauty, according to these two
clever women, so let's go through a
day with their regime.
A FTER a refreshing shower or bath
- apply their cleansing cream to the
face (not forgetting the throat). This
marvellous fluffy cream, created for dry
skins, delves to the depths of the pores
Perhaps you have what specialists
call the combination skin (dry skin and
shining nose). In that case you use
an ultra cleansing cream-a new proc
ess double whipped cream. This cream
is recommended for the very dry skin.
If you have an oily skin you use the
same treatment, applying a melting
cream. Now for your most vital step.
After removing cleansing cream with
tissue or soft cloth pat on texture
cream. This contains rich natural oils
that lubricate every type Of skin. It
takes away appearances of age, leaves
face and throat satiny smooth.
Now those of us with dry or COM
bination skins are ready for the skin
freshener. Pat it on lightly. Your skin
begins to tingle and glow with natural
animation. Almost miracle worker.
An herbal tinctureis used in place of
the freshener for oily skins. Pat it on
generously wherever pores are large.
