TAKE THESE
WHEN YOU SHOP

THO her ideas about not looking
1 like a one-woman fashio n
show, Miss Knoll adds these rules
for smartness to her list:
Don't neglect your feet. They,
and the shoes you wear on them,
must be comfortable and beautiful.
Don't tolerate posture defects.
Any woman can achieve good
posture. Unless she does, no dress,
however expensive, will be becom-
ing.
Don't allow yourself to become
thick through the waistline or,
worse yet, hippy.
Don't let anyone else decide for
you what your skirt length shall
be. There's the right length for
every figure.
Don't forget the back view of
yourself. See that all of your
clothes, from girdle out, fit as well
across the back as they do in
front.
Emphasize waistline and bust in
natural way. Don't wear cor
sets or brassieres which distort
rather than flatter the figure.
Have confidence in your appear
ance before you leave your room,
then forget about yourself. The
woman who is worrying about her
hemline or whether her clips have
worked around to the wrong side
of the collar simply can't keep up
her end of any conversation.

A Beauty Quiz

Question: Ny hair doesn't seem
to be too dry or too oily, but it
certainly is stringy and dull look
ing. Will you recommend treat
ment?
Answer: Brush your hair Wig
orously every single night with a
roll-wave hair brush using upward
and outward strokes, of course. If
the slightest bit of soap is allowed
to remain the hair won't be bright
and shiny.
Question: Polish won't stay on
my nails for more than a couple
of days. Please tell me what to do.
Answer: Be sure that your nails
are absolutely clean and quite dry
before you put on polish. Buff
each one lightly. rinse in warm
water, dry with a clean towel,
then apply a thin coat of clear
polish or coat of wax. Let the
clear lacquer or the wax dry be-
fore applying colored polish.
Or. if you prefer, use two coats
of colored. instead of one of clear
and one of colored. Don't touch
anything or move your hands very
much or put them in water for at
least Is minutes after application
Of the second coat.
Question: have a small, dark
ish red birthmark on my neck.
What should l do to conceal it?
Answer: You might get a jar of
one of the creams designed espe-
cially to cover birthmarks and
minor blemishes. Ask your drug
gist to show you preparations Of
this type. Be sure to follow print
ed directions carefully.
Question:: Are rolling exercises
fairly sure TO take inches off the
hips?
Answer: Yes. Simply lie flat
on your back on the floor with
ankles together and arms folded
across your chest. Lifting head
and feet off the floor, roll over
and over to the left. then over and
over TO the right. All of the weight
will be on the hips and thighs as
you roll. Repeat ten times the
first day. Is the second, 20 the
third. and so on until you're rolling
so times a day.

and Mark in order to seek aid, but
returns alone. Steve and Doris
gather firewood for the night and
alternately act rs night watchmen
for two-hour intervals. Doris realizes
she has fallen in love with Steve
when Marx says he Is engaged TO
marry BETH LAMPHERE.
CHAPTER FIVE
There have been fishing expedi-
tons. But never was there more
thrilling, nor a more thoroughly
satisfying expedition than the fish
ing trip Doris set out on immedi-
ately.
The trip was a very brief one,
just to the camp" so yards away.
Here, to her relief. she found that
Mark had fallen back to sleep and
Steve, slumped now into a lying
posture. breathed slowly as one
fairly exhausted.
Intense Activity
Doris was glad. Especially glad
that Mark slept. To have the hope
for food when one is desperately
hungry, and yet be unable to do
anything about it is too cruel.
Doris was glad he slept so that
he could not know the sudden
intense activity in which she en-
gagged.
The net she fashioned was really
expert, especially for girl UNI
accustomed to work with her
hands. First she tore strip OF
towel. then bent a green switch
like tree branch into circle, even
fashioning a crude handle. She
tied this securely with a strip Of
towel.
Around the crude circle she
fastened another piece OF towel so
that it actually made net almost
a foot across and with consider
able depth.
She was trembling with hunger
and eagerness when she made her
way back TO the lake.
But to snare the fish was not an
easy matter. Two or three dips
into the lake produced not single
captured fish. The big white net
frightened them away and its re-

would have said that returning
present at such a time would be
adding insult to injury"
The second letter asks me: viii
you please tell me whether the
gift of a wrist watch Is the same
as an engagement ring. or whether
I may accept a watch from a man
to whom I am not engaged ?"
To these letters. a composite an
swer is that the only definite en-
gagement present from the man
to his fiancee is a ring. A man
might give her watch if she pre-
fers watch to a ring and If 1t is
agreed between them to consider
the watch their substitute for the
ring. For that matter. an engage
ment ring or other gift in its place
is not essential to the validity of
the engagement in the way that
wedding ring is essential to the
marriage service. To the several
young women who do not want to
return watches that were given
them, the answer is: II any of
them were given as engagement
pledges they should be returned
and to the writer's OF all the let
tiers I must add that jewelry Of
value given by a man to the girl,
because he had believed she was
to be his wife, should be returned
if their intention to marry is
broken. Objects of unimportant
value given at Christmas and
birthday presents are kept - of
course.
Introduce a Secretary
Dear Mrs. Post: If a secretary
happens to be sitting, working
with her employer when some one
in the company enters his office
with a prospective buyer and intro
duces the men, shouldn't the secre-
tary be introduced, too, since she
would be sitting right there?
Answer: Ordinarily, no. But If
it happens that she is to be
brought personally into the con-
versation, then yes.

Maroaretta Byers Says
Bright girls sometimes lack
clothes sense!
If our grind at the left put her
excellent mind on her clothes, she
could be mighty attractive. She
would discover swea tiers and
straight pleated skirts need con-
tours.
So, being a clever girl, she
would give herself the curves she
lacks with tweed jackets nipped
at the waist - and swing skirts
that would make a lamppost feel
graceful. OF course she would al
ways wear her plaids diagonally-
never squared away. Then she
would wear fuller hair-and hunt
for low-heeled campus shoes that
would still be flattering to long,
narrow feet. Moccasin types are
grand solution to this dilemma.
Watch for your type tomorrow.

That advice comes from Lenore

knows how TO dress women to

as their figure, ages and types.
There's only one thing worse
than being so drably, unimagina-
lively dressed that nobody even
notices you" Miss Knoll goes on.
And that is being dressed in such
spectacular fashion that your
clothes are noticed while you, as
a person, are completely over

The designer reminds us. that
what usually is said about the
truly chic woman is: 81 don't re-
member exactly what she had on,
but she was simply stunning
Walk, sit and stand around in
the frock you contemplate buy
ing for at least half an hour be-
fore you decide to take it, Miss
Knoll continues. Think about
the number of uses it will have
in your wardrobe, how you would
feel If the wife of your husbands
boss saw you in it. as well as
what kind Of accessories you'll
have to get to wear with it."
