he looks for first. because these are
the first things that an audience
will notice. They are SO important

sonally he feels that everything
else should yield first TO hair. 1t is
the easiest thing TO see from a dis

color and texture and becomlngly
dressed. 1t appeals most TO the

He likes simple lines with a mini
mum of detail to distract attention
from lines of the figure. His first
choice Of color for a woman is
black with little or no jcWelry. Un-

ant color If you are tired or not

effectively your skin must be its
best, smooth. fine. fresh in texture
