Of her head. II an upswept Golf
fure isn't fiattering, she wears
some kind Of variation Of 1t that
looks in tune with the mode, but

Her figure is Just right-neither

1t that way by eating sensibly,
exercising regularly.
She files her nails into medium
long, graceful ovals. And prefers
subdued wine-red and purple,
red polish to scarlet shades.
Lighter lacquers with orchid un-
dertones are popular, too.
Her new clothes have a square,
broad look through the shoulders.
She is fond Of boxy Jackets over
slim dresses; simply tailored aft

terials, like lame and velvet; ul-
ira dramatic evening gowns:
small hats that show of her up
swept coiffures; shoes with the
newly important clumsy look
about them; hand-sewn gloves;
sheer wool frocky with ballerina
skirts and trim little schoolgirl
collars.
She Is scrupulously clean, neat
and dainty. She has two baths q

spirant two or three times a
week or a deodorant every day,
keeps her legs and underarms
free from superfuous hair, puts on

She always puts shoe trees In
her shoes the minute she takes
them of, hangs her clothes on
shoulder shaped hangers, appre.

cases for lingerie, handkerchief
and stockings. Being particular
about such small details really
is the secret Of her perfectly
