Dear Readers:
AS We all know, beauty begins in
babyhood. Stage mothers know this
too-film mothers know it even
better. And so you find Holly
woods brightest, newest young star
Joan Carroll (aged nine and one
half years. is already an expert on
her own beauty care.
Joan's beauty regimen is simple
to the point. Cleanliness is the base
-scrubbing she does herself.
She doesn't have to be urged for
those so strokes of the hairbrush
either. In fact she has to be re-
strained If she weren't watched
she'd brush all the curl out.
Little girls everywhere have hair
ike Joan's. Not fine and not coarse,
it's a good American color, med
ium brown with a reddish tint. And
there's only the slightest natural
curl in it. Joan's mother, Mrs.
Wright Felt Joan picked her own

Society

For long exposure to The sun ana
winds, Joan pats in little SUM-
tan oil. But other creams and To-
tions she leaves alone in private
life. Naturally for screen and stage
makeup, she uses cold cream for
removal. While she was making
"Obliging Young Lady, her first
starring picture at RKO, friends
and relatives used to flock to her
dressing-room at the end of the day
to watch her slathering on the
cold cream. To Joan it's like play
ing with mud-pies.
Joan is particularly conscious of
her hands. No sissy, she constantly
gets them grubby. Already she has
learned to care for her nails, to
push the cuticle back every time she
dries her hands. And she loves to
fiddle with manicuring tools, is
adept with the emery board.
Because it has proved to add to
her pride in well-kept hands, Mrs.
Felt allows Joan to use colorless
liquid polish, which is removed and
redone at the first sign of chipping.
And if Joan is naughty, this privi-
lege is taken away, pronto!
Joan Carroll is one baby beauty
who knows her beauty A-B-Cs.

I name from the phone book, has
found the secret of curls for Joan.
Every Sunday Joan has a sham
poo-Castile soap, three rinses,
plus lemon juice. Her hair is hand
dried, fluffed in the drying. Then
Mrs. Felt dampenS the ends curls
them up and bobbie-pins them flat
to Joans head. A wide veil covers
them for sleeping. During the
week the same curling process is
followed, but the curls are not
dampened first)
The next morning, Joan brushes
her hair out. Mrs Felt wraps each
curl around her finger, making a
soft, natural effect. The sides are
pulled up off Joan's forehead from
a center part, held back with small
Imperial Valley press., 1941-09-08

combs. Her ribbon bows are stuck
to the combs with bobbie pins.
But if Mrs. Felt takes a hand in
Joan's hair, the rest of her groom
ing is her own. Just before bed and
just before breakfast she attacks
her teeth with a round and round,
up and down motion. Then she goes
after her hands, scrubbing them
from fingertips to elbows with a
firm-bristled brush and warm,
soapy water.
For her face, she pins her hair
up, takes a rough face cloth and
more warm soap water. And getting
behind the ears and the back of
the neck spotlessly clean is a sport
with Joan. After that, quick rinse
in cold water and her face is
finished.
