Mems Tastes Vary

And 1t isn't only the alternative
between beauty and brains. How
about playing up the domestic viz.
tues, nearly always appreciated and
admired by the male? Or how about
cultivating charm which bowls
them over like so many ninepinS
and has beauty setting them up In
the other alley?
There are men who admire the
outdoor girl. And there are men
who detest strenuous females. men
whose idea Of companionable wo-
man is one who will sit quietly by, q
rapt audience of one, while they ex-
pand their theories or recount the
story Of such parts of their lives as
they consider fitting for her to hear.
Being pretty as picture, or beauti-
full as a dream. helps, but 1t isn't
everything. A girl has to be clean
and neat and smartly dressed. Men
are funny that way. they scorn that
thing called fashion. but did you
ever hear Of one paying marked at
tention to girl who was completely
oblivious of the march Of time?
No girl can hope to attract all
men. The best she can hope for Ia to
attract those whose type, or ideal.
she represents. Ever notice how
true men are to type? How one Of
their girls usually bears Q resem-
blance to another, and how when
they marry more than once they
nearly always marry women Of the
same type? All Of which indicates
that a girl must not only know her
type but the type Of man she just
naturally attracts.

The moral then is that II lack Of

that transcends beauty. A girl who
has great beauty and nothing else
isn't as blessed by the gods as the
plain girl imagines. Even in Holly

Is not enough. Good direction. ex-
pert makeup and all the profess
sional assistance Hollywood has to

dumb type anywhere.
The competitive spirit among
girls Is keener than ever, SO that the
girl who flnds out her strong suit
and plays 1t should win. The moth
eaten theory that men run away
from brainy women isn't nearly a.
true as 1t was. Men don't like wo.
men who know more. or think they
know more, than they do, but there
is many a girl who needn't worry

Broomstick Skirts

you've had the slightest notion that

you're wrong.
AS one expected, the crinkly

made the grade at college. It's head
OF the daytime class, while for even
ing the full skirt, pleated or gored,
remains first. Girls at Smith, for

remains in good standing. So do
most peasant types.
The peasant square. gayly flow

draped bra-like bodice to be worn
with contrasting skirts. Please re-
member that the newest full skirts
are given to hem ruffles, or one
wide ruffle sometimes banded with
ribbon. Among the campus set
there is insiStence on the full-skirt-
ed peasant dress, usually in cotton,
which. being the case. argues for

throughout the casual or summer
season.
Bodices are cut either round or
square, or sometimes with the deep

and gathered into a wristband. or
pulled half way to the elbow. Rib
bon slashes are appearing on lin
gerie dresses and striking belts turn
