Every girl wants to be attractive.
We all desire beauty even when we are
very young. and as we grow older it
becomes more and more precious to us,
And any beautiful woman will tell you
that 4 girl must take proper care OF
herself when she is young If she wishes
to make the most Of herself later on.
OF course. all OF us can't have per-
feet features or gorgeous hair or
peaches-and-cresm compilations, but
all Of us can be attractive and comely
by following certain simple rules. and
the. first of these Is the rule Of health.
To be beautiful you must be well. and
that means that you must take all pre-
cautions to avoid sickness. More than
that, you must shun too much rich
food and too many sweets, which not
only add to your weight, but which
may cause digestive troubles that will
harm your complexion.
A pure and delicate soap should
be the main beauty preparation of
the young girl. for cleanliness is surely
next to godliness in matters OF health
and beauty. The soap should be made
Of gentle vegetable oils. and should be
used with warm water. All traces of
soap should. Of course, be rinsed OF
with cool water after washing Your
face needs absolutely no cosmetics.
which only hide the clear, transparent
RkiyS that is t,,r "a
In case your skin becomes chapped,
4 mild oil or cream may be used to
cleanse it.
A girls hair is one of her most i'm
portant assets. 1t should be washed
regularly with q pure soap, melted If
you prefer. Never curl it with heat, for
this will only make 1t look stiff and
unattractive. II you have straight hair
you can easily discover way OF ar
ranging it without an iron. Setting
curls with water should not be harmful.
Proper care OF the hands also is Of
the greatest importance When dirty,
they should be scrupulously washed
with q brush If necessary, and always
thoroughly dried. Keep the nails filed
fairly short and without points, and it
goes without saying that they must be
clean. Push back he cuticle each day
with soft stick of orange wood. II
your hands have tendency to become
red and rough, good lotion may be
used to soften them.
Very few bottles OF medicine" or
antiseptic preparations are needed on
the young girls toilet shelf A bora ted
talcum powder may be handy at times,
and 3 weak solution of boric acid can
be employed as an eye wash OCCASION
ally, but do not use it too often. You
should have two toothbrushes, 80 that
one may bs used in the morning and
one in the evening while the other
is drying. and a good dentrifrice, which
your family dentist will recommend
A plessant-tasting mouth wash also
Is good thing to have, as well as
\ bottle Of some good antiseptic for
use on the little cuts and scratches
that seem unavoidable.
Finally, no matter how beautiful
your face. hair and hands are. you
will never make a good appearance
unless your posture is correct. Learn
grace in standing. walking and sitting.
Regular setting up" exercises are a
help in this respect, and walking and
participation in not-too-strenuou
games will make you erect as well as
healthy.
Be careful not to slump into a chair
when you sit down. Sit easily erect,
with your feet on the floor, and not
curled around each other or the chair
legs. Try to stand as tall" as you
can, so that your spine is straight, and
walk naturally. BY all means avoid
slouching. 1t is possible in this way
to cultivate grace, in all your move
ments, and grace Is one of the indis-
pensable elements Of beauty.
Every girl has right to take pride
in her personal appearance. Vanity is
unbecoming In any one, and most OF
all in 4 young girl, but knowing that
you look your best at all times will help
you act your best and be your best.
