BY LOIS LEEDS,
DEAR MISS LEEDS-I am 13 years

NEAR MISS LEEDS-I am 13 years
~ old, S feet 2 inches tall. I have
a broad face with a rather. large
mouth and pug nose. How should l
arrange my hair? 1t is inclined to
be wavy and is quite easy to fix in
place. DAISY.
Answer-Try side-part coiffure
with hair combed diagonally back
over the crown, smooth on top with
curled ends and a narrow ribbon
bandeau. LOIS LEEDS.
Dear Miss Leeds-I have blue eyes,
smooth fair complexion, short nose
and light brown hair. What type OF
hats, dresses and coiffure should I
wear? What colors are most be-
coming? My hair is curly and I
have round face which I would like
to make appear more slender 90 I
am Is years old, S feet Z inches tall
and weigh 125 pounds. My measure
ments are: Bust, "a; waist, %; hips,
331a; thigh, 10; calf, 13; ankle, 8. I
think am too large. How can I re-
duce my thighs What do you think
OF my measurements?
UNDECIDED.
Answer-A girl of your height may
wear large brimmed hats, jacket
dresses, cape effects, coat suits, fluffy
afternoon and evening frocks. Sports
clothes are becoming to slim figure
like yours also. AS to coiffures, try
a high side part with hair combed
off your brow and brought in waves
over your ears Dress it rather close
to the sides of your head to give a
slender effect. A girl with your color
ing may wear almost any pretty color
in clothes. Powder blue and Copen-
hagen blue are especially good; also
yellow, dark brown, bright red for
sports, rust, gray, navy. (2) You are
two pounds below the average weight
for your age and height. Your
measurements are good. Thigh and
calf are a trifle thin in proportion to
your height. LOIS LEEDS.
Incorrect Eating Habits.
Dear Miss Leeds: I am 20 years old,
5 feet inches tall and weigh 135
pounds. My measurements are: Bust,
"a; waist, 291z; hips, SO; thighs, %;
calf, 1914; ankle, g. I eat a lot of
bread by sheer force of habit. If I
should deny myself bread, would it
make me lose weight? Is walking a
reducing exercise? ILNA.
Answer-You are about 10 pounds
above the average weight for your age
and height. Your excess weight seems
to be from the waist down. You need
a general loss of weight and I believe
that cutting out the bread from your
diet would be of considerable help.
You also need exercises, however, to
keep you from becoming fiabby as you
reduce. Send stamped (3-cent), self
addressed envelope and ask for my
leaflets, "Safe and Sane Reducing"
and Reducing the Lower Limbs"
Walking can be reducing exercise.
Walk miles a day at brisk pace,
practicing correct posture with abdo-
men drawn in. Take longer walk
once week. LOIS LEEDS.
Plucked Eyebrows.
Dear Miss Leeds: pluck my own
eyebrows, but When ! get through
they look as though they had been
shaved. What's the trouble?
MD.
Answer-The hairs probably break
of at the surface of the skin instead
of coming out bulb and all. Before
plucking the hairs out cleanse your
eyebrows with cleansing cream and
then wash them with soap and water.
Sterilize your tweezers by dipping
them in alcohol before using them and
also touch with alcohol the hair folli-
cleS from which you pull the hairs.
Do this several times during the op-
Grafton. Grasp the individual hairs
with the tweezers and give a quick
pull In the direction in which the
hairs naturally lie. LOIS LEEDS.
