I have been in business for years
and have always noticed that the
women who know how in the
business Of glamor, never have
any trouble in attracting men.
Therefore II is wise for any wo-
man, maid or wife, matron or
bride. to try a few glamor tricks.
A woman should never allow her
husband 10 discourage her by ridi-
Guile or so-called constructive criti-
cism. The male viewpoint (espe-
cially critical husband'sl is not

priety.

for wives.
Don't let what your husband
says he doesn't like-or what you
are afraid he will make fun Of
stop you from trying few glamor
tricks for yourself.
For instance, the woman with
the fading, dingy hair would be
justified in having an expert color

color. she is doing herself. as well
rs those who have TO look at her,
a favor. by the artistic use of
rouge and lipstick.
When a woman allows cow
srdice to prevent her from inn
proving her looks-when she hon.
estly analyses herself and admits
that she needs improvement in
certain respects-then she has
only herself to blame If she never
gets a compliment and is forced
TO feel like an ugly duckling.
have heard women say, "Oh,
I'd love 10 have a dress like that"
or I'D do my hair that way,
too. but I'm afraid John will say
I'm silly and laugh at me"
Such women are the wives
whose husbands say Gee, you
look stunning" when some chic
and expertly coiffure beauty comes
into sight. And. too, those APP
preciative males are often hus-
bands who resent" seeing their
wives look too attractive to other
men, I am sorry to say-but that
Is no reason why woman should
be content to remain plain Mrs.

So let me say to the woman
who knows her hair is hideously
faded-go ahead and dye 1t. You

self to forget fear and get busy
with a bit of "dandying up"

Dear Miss Grey: II amuses me
the way some people take bridge
so seriously You would think
there was nothing else worth while
in the world of divertisement-yet
TO me bridge is a game; that while
1t involves skill and good think
ing. also involves so many stupid
personalities that they have made
the game a nightmare instead OF
a pleasure.
For that reason, my husband,
who is an excellent bridge player,
suggested to me that we "cut out
bridge for awhile and I heartily
agreed with him. So, when we
entertained some time ago we
turned what would have been an
average dull bridge party into an
interesting evening by introducing
another kind of game. We made

think the alert men and women

At any rate, it doesn't hurt to

bridge game too seriously, that
they are perhaps the very persons
who could not intelligently answer
