While we think of makeup as
synonymous with all Hollywood
beauties you will not see even
a suggestion of it worn for these
sports. There is, you know, a
translucent delicacy about the
skin when it is wet, and every
girl looks years younger and
more attractive without make
up in the water. The eyes take
on a new brilliancy and wet
lashes are always dark enough.
We might take a leaf from
their book when it comes to
sports makeup. They do use a
bit of lipStick when around the
clubhouse, but the strenuous
exercise will insure a natural
radiance we cannot expect from
the artificial kind.
There is something about
activity whether physical or
mental that stamps one with a
special poise, and charm and
their constant alertness helps to
give them incompatible appeal,
sometimes lacking in the mobile
types; besides their kind of
activity is always such fun.
There are many exercises to
keep one fit and, when you
come to think of it, no one ever
saw a fat Hollywood beauty.
The fine thing about the
beach sports is they will reduce

Makes for
Reckless Behavior

Here's another extract:
Excessive drinking goes with
reckless behavior, although it Is
caused by some personality diff
cultieS. Chief among these per-
sonality difficulties, one gathers,
is that sense of inferiority which
leads a girl into reckless paths"
The pitiful youngster will pet
because she imagines that will
make her popular. She will go
out with any man for the sake
of having & date. Tangible re-
suits of such petting parties
leave the man more often than
not "disgusted." He is furious
over an implied sense of respon-
Sibility.
The modern code of man in
regard to the ultimate break
down on the girls part is, why
worry, the girl knew what she
was about"
PaWned Possessions
To Keep Up
In some OF the case histories
related in the book already re-
ferred to. girls pawned their fur
coats, borrowed money from
their friends and did typewrit-
ing to pay for debts incurred in
seeking popularity. Certainly,
this is romance reduced to its
dreariest prose. A few Of these
girls hope eventually to find
stability in marriage. Surprising
is the fact that these emotional
vagrants desire to have children
If and when" they marry.
One confesSes to deep sense
of curiosity regarding the kind
of children such mothers will
produce-theSe girls who have
no more will or direction of pur-
pose than Seaweed awash with
the tide. If they should marry,
we may look for a hardy crop
of wilful youth in the next gen.
Grafton, and the psychologists
will have their hands full un-
raveling inherited tendencies.
You'll Be Regarded
AS Quaint
To suggest restraint or moder-
alton would be regarded as i'm
posing upon the privilege of
these youngsters. Or to suggest
that, in the interests of their
own health and happiness. a
sane direction of the life forces
is only common sense, and if left
blindly to chance-but one must
stop short of moralizing or be
regarded as quaint.
There are, however, available
statistics concerning the waste
of life, wrecked health and
morale, brought about by casual
petting, which did not mean, at
first to either the boy or girl
much more than a little adven-
turous excitement.
