On Grooming
In Schools
Looks Important
To the Success
OfGraduate
BY PATRICIA LINDSAY.

Inc modern college is Tar cry
from those days when the three r.;
were considered the prime requisite
in the education of young ladies!
What would the deans of yesteryear
think about department of
grooming in the schools curriculum?
Yet there are number of pro-
| gresSive schools at which a course
in personal grooming and adorn-
ment is considered every bit as i'm
portant to the success of a graduate
as is foreign language, history or
economics.
Recently 527 girls from Stephens
College, Missouri. got into the head
lines of Eastern newspapers. And
it was not because they were taking
their annual spring educational tour
of the East. That would deserve a
mere paragraph. 1t was because the
girls themselves rated copy space
AS one Miami reporter put it
Miami has never been host to a
lovelier group of girls in such num-
bers!"
Wherever the girls visited, report
ers from newspapers were struck
with their pleasing beauty and good
manners. More space was given to
the description of the girls than to
the novel educational scheme which
Stephens College sponsors But the
mere fact that the girls were so ap-
pealing is tribute to DR.. James
Madison, president of the college
and one of the foremost educators
in this country.
For DR.. Madison insists that the
student be taught to make the most
of herself. Time is devoted to in
structing each student how to be
lovely, the art of dressing well and
how to use cosmetics to advantage.
Grundies may scott at such edu-
cation and the conservatives may
fear that the girls vanity is being
encouraged too much. But the pro-
gressives can readily see what sense
there is in starting a graduate on
the arduous road of life feeling self
assured, looking lovely and knowing
that good manners and smart ap-
pearance pay excellent dividends.
Unfortunately, Stephens College,
with its special advantages, is not
within the reach of all growing girls.
But it does stand as an inspiration
and example to other educational
institutions. The majority of matur-
ing girls do need guiding hand
when it comes to grooming and
dressing themselves, and in acquir-
ing department which creates what
we like to call charm" And if girls
were taught how to use cosmetics
discreetly to their advantage, we
would hear fewer complaints from
the male sex about powder and
paint" and from others who object
to the obvious hard look some girls
achieve.
So do encourage the proper teach
ing of the cquisition of beauty. The
world can do with many more at
tractive wives, mothers and career
lists. And in the final analysis, the
attractive woman is usually a
healthy woman, both physically and
mentally.

Beauty Culture

To begin with beauty culture, II
we can manage to look at ourselves
effectively as mannequins do, we
need not worry about other people S
assets.
We know we can do a lot with
our own.
When we have finished the requi-
site grooming of hair and hands
and skin, if We have some feature
that is not conventionally beautiful,
we can take the bull by the horns
and stress that feature, make it an
arresting accent more exciting than
static, conventional perfection.
The great sirens of history were
not perfect. Cleopatra's nose was
too short and it proved much more
piquant than the classic nose OF
her Roman rivals.
One of the smartest women in the
international set boasts that she Is
the ugliest woman in Paris.
She swears she looks like mon
key. But actually, she has made her
irregular features provocative to the
point of fascination.
So, you see? The more discourag-
ing your features. the greater the
challenge to your ingenuity and
taste, and the more potential dis
tinction you have to work with.

SeIf-Confidence

Now this state of mind Is largely
self confidence, which is very
different thing from vanity.
Vanity is overassurance-a calm
assumption of the divine right Of
beauty-an attitude that is irritating
to men and women alike.
On the other hand, an inferiority
complex makes others as uncom-
Portable as it does the complexee.
But confidence is something
else again-a feeling of pride in
the job you've done on yourself.
Evening star., 1939-04-04
Corrioqe

And finally, as to carriage, a wom.
ans bearing expresses her state OF
mind more eloquently than any one
thing.
They tell story about Ziegfeld
watching his girls passing in review
He was considering them for a GER
tain bit.
Eventually he chose the least
beautiful of the lot Asked why
he said. "She feels beautiful And
| she did.
She carried herself proudly. He1
gestures were relaxed and therefore
flowed gracefully, one into another
Her state of mind created an illu-
sion of beauty.
Often you can work from the out
side in. A new hat will make you
hold up your head.
High heels will make you walk
daintily. A well-cut costume will
give you something to live up to and
you will stand better instinctively.
But all this ought to be part of
your feminine equipment. You
ought not to depend on your clothes
for your beauty.
Sending girls to dancing school
teaches them to manage their feet,
and gymnasiums help their pos
lures.
We'd like to see every school in
clude course in stage department
to teach little girls what to do with
their hands so they won't be at a
loss later unless fortified with a
cigarette and a cocktail glass.
You may think all this terribly
affected. OF course, it will make
you self conscious until you've mas
tered it.
But you ought to practice deport-
ment secretly in front of a mirror
until it becomes second nature.
To begin with posture, the Army
sums it up graphically in the blunt
words "Tuck in your tail and suck
in your CUTS"
Some one else says raise your
chest and everything else will fall
into line-feel as If you were sus-
pended from the ceiling by your
chest. Theodore Roosevelt told his
children to walk tall"
Our physical culture expert says:
l. Stand up with knees relaxed
and rotate them slightly outward.
Evening star., 1939-04-04
Now the Costume

Next, as to costume; We can ex-
press our love of beauty and cul-
tivate that expensive look that Is
due our well-kept compilations ano
hair and hands and figures.
All this helps to make us feel de-
sirable, and look it.
OF course, it is up to the lndl-
vidual to decide just where to draw
the line; just where rank extrav-
agance begins for her.
But bear in mind that out-and-
out frivolity is not wasteful if it
holsters up your ego.
PSYCHOLOGISTS are beginning to
realize that these things are neces-
sary to feminine mental health
They're much more effective than
tonics and so much easier to take.
Perfumes give you value re-
ceived when they give you a lift
Furs are worth more than the ac-
tual warmth they provide If they
make you feel distinguished.
A bit of good jewelry is worth
the price if it helps your morale.
Even the luxuries that don't show
at all are worth the price OF their
admission into this country from
nations that have better under
standing of women.
A woman's frivolous indulgences-
her bath salts that bubble like cham.
pagne, her body lotion for stimu-
lating rundown. her toilet waters
and sachets and eXtravagant lin
gerie-all give her a feeling of being
rather precious herself.
Such a feeling is her birthright
and the best possible insurance
against neuroSeS.
