Acquire Good
Habits
Certain Beauty Aids
Are Essential to
Your Happiness
BY PATRICIA LINDSAY.

We 60 to school to learn more than
the three RS. The girl who goes to
college today, to finishing school or
even to high school is given the
opportunity to learn how to adjust
herself to that portion of society in
which she will find herself immedi-
ately after graduation.
During these formative years our
personal ego with all its eccentrici-
ties) is mellowed. We learn we are
but tiny speck in life's scheme of
things, and we must learn also how
to best sublimate ourselves to live
harmoniously, yet constructively,
with others. knowledge gained and
habits formed before we reach ma
turity usually abide with us for life.
And the young girl who grasps the
essential rules of life at an early
age is more than likely to be an ad-
mired, loved, happy woman of
charm in later years.
To most freshmen at college Cor
boarding school it will be difficult
to determine just when casualness
OF manner, dress and grooming ends,
and when sloppiness begins. But
there is a definite borderline-and
she who steps over it is never
among the popular girls OF her
group!
1t is perfectly natural to want to
be comfortable in easy clothes at
school and to wear ones hair simply
and to go without makeup. You are
young, you are carefree, you want
to be healthy. All well and good.
But II your casual easy clothes are
unclean with perspiration or food
spots and II your hair is untidy
and in need Of a shampoo and if
your skin is blemished through in
differentness to skin care and cor
rective menus-then you have STEP
ped over the border and through
being Indifferent to the necessary
details of good grooming you sacri-
feed your right to popularity.
The girls who are truly the lead
ers are usually meticulous in their
personal grooming. They may brag
about their indifference, but behind
the scenes you will find them caring
for their skin, brushing their hair,
keeping their clothes in good order
and taking every precaution that
no day will find their personal
daintiness in question. Those are
the girls who are popular on campus
and of campus! They cherish the
knowledge that proper menus keep
skin clean, that sleep is required
for developing beauty and certain
beauty aids are necessary-even for
the blessed young!
No girl should pack for school
without including these aids. Her
beauty, health and happiness will
depend greatly upon them. No lux
uries are included (other than per-
fume) and as many may be added
as the individual desires:
Brush, comb, mirror.
Three tooth brushes and cleanser.
Small bottle of antiseptic.
Pure cleansing cream and face
tissues.
Weather protective cream - to
serve all months.
Hand lotion and manicure aids
(also used for feet.
Good lathering soap for type Of
water.
Deodorant or anti-perspirant.
TweeZers.
Powder to match skin tone and
npstick Crouge If desired).
Cologne or perfume of good quality.
Several powder puf1s Ito be sham
pooed frequently.
Hand brush or bath brush.
Reliable shampoo (tonic If hair
needs it,.
One-haH dozen rough Turkish
face cloths (washed often).
Razor or depilatory.
Every girl knows which handbag
accessories she needs, such as a
small comb, powder compact, eye
cosmetics. Those are for parties
and week ends.
With these at hand there Is no
excuse for any girl being other than
well groomed, and good grooming
habits should be acquired during the
first week at school and continued
throughout the year.

Cost" tells girls how to groom
