ordination. vitality and emotional
awareness that are SO essential to
beauty.
Dancing makes direct contribu-
ton to beauty because 1t improves
and normalizes the figure. It
teaches a woman to breathe prop
erly. 1t teaches good posture be-
cause it starts with the back and
abdomen, not with the shoulders.
The dancer does not recommend
exercises for the beginner to take
at home. because she says that q
movement wrongly learned can in
jure not only the body but also the
emotions.
Has Poised Carriage
Miss Graham herself is a perfect
example of what dancing can do to
give charm. poise, grace and phys
ical beauty. With these. beauty
tricks" are unnecessary except on
the stage.
Feet perhaps get more attention
than any other feature. Martha can
wear high heels with the greatest
of ease, although she usually dances
barefooted or with low sandals. She
finds it restful to change from high
to low heels and back. and she Is on
her feet from 8 to 10 hours daily.
She explains that foot troubles are
not always the fault Of woman's
shoes, but often are due to poor
posture that forces the foot into
bad positions. She says the weight
should always come over the center

she has no complicated routine for
her supple. shapely feet. Her great
est problem Is cracking and chap
ping from dancing barefo0ted.
The dancer uses little makeup
for the street and has one routine
she always follows on the stage.
She never uses rouge because her
face Is long and thin. Instead. she
depends on costume or color about
her head to reflect light onto her
face. She uses light liquid powder
foundation, with white shadow
about her eyes to make them seem
larger. Over the white she blends q
touch Of blue. Cream mascara
darkens her long lashes. and for
the stage she beads them with
warm wax to catch the light and
make her eyes seem larger and
brighter.
Makes Mouth Larger
She uses q true red for her
mouth, sometimes outlining the lips
with a brownish lip pencil to make
the mouth seem large and impor-
tant.
Hair Is another problem. It Is
we'll below her shoulders, and Is
dark and perfectly straight. Usu-
ally, she dances with 1t loose. II she
does wear 1t up. she has something
like maline or yelling to outline her
head. Because 1t Is small. this trick
brings her head into better proper
ton with the rest Of her body. Be-
cause her hair is fine. 1t must be
brushed constantly to keep 1t silky
and fluffy. She shampoos 1t often.
then rubs by hand with soft towels
and bushes until dry. She never sits
under q drier.
The dancer Is firm about having
well-fitted girdles. Although her
figure Is as nearly perfect as one
could be, she wears q dancing girdle
when on the stage because It gives
her confidence and support. and .
light panty-girdle for the street
because she says clothes always at
better with q foundation. She u
equally fussy about bras. getting
perfectly fitted ones for dancing Is
well as for everyday wear.

Persons who felt that a baby had

soon recognize that baby's first at

Some time around the NTH

is not saying anything as yet. He
merely Is exercising his vocal or

Along asout the ninth month, the

AS Is to be expected at this season,
nets, point de'esprite. chiffon and
Organza are crowding velvetS and
brocades of the floor. AS a matter
OF fact. there haven't been many
velyets this season: velvet has ap-
peared more often as a trimming
than as the fabric Of the frock it
self. Now many of the sheer fabrics,
such as those named. are used for
the bodice only. the narrower skirts
being more often Of crepe. If skirts
are slightly narrower than those
worn heretofore. 1t Is possibly be-
cause. being narrower. they are bet

Although there have been some
large weddings. with white orchids
and satin and what-all. these have
been outnumbered by the less for

either suits or afternoon dresses
and show a marked preference for
white hats. They don't look BRIDE

wears. on occasion. white hat.
Curiously. there are more back
of-the-pompadour hats worn this
spring than last. which proves that
it does take time for q style to be
accepted. One is never sure whether
these pompadour ladies are really
wearing bonnets or bouquets.
And speaking Of hats reminds me
to mention shoes. since they are
certainly as gay and as frivolous.
