Things That
Interest Women
HOW DO YOU LOOK?
BY BESSIE F. BELL

Now this matter of looking ones
best, being beautiful at all times
depends so much on little things
many things, and every one
important.
Your personal grooming, the
way you dress, your manner in
general, the way you talk, your
posture-the way you walk, the
condition of your complexion and
the height of your popularity,
are all important.
To be popular is to be liked by
people, and to accomplish this,
you must learn to like other
people.
Be genuine in your respect to-
ward others. Be willing to listen
when they desire to unburden their
feelings. In this manner the true
YOU will be reflected.
Refrain from making friends
simply to exploit them, since such
selfishress does not contribute to
beauty. If you persist in being a
braggart, or showing off your good
qualities you will find it hard to
make and keep friends. Strive
to lose your self consciousness. A
beauty does not indulge in self
pity. A beautiful girl never over
dresses, instead she is known for
her good taste in the selection of
her clothes.
If you were not fortunate
enough to be born with good taste
in clothes, it's no matter; it can
be acquired, you know.
Never try to pile on every piece
of jewelry at once. To be beau
tiful you'll always use good taste.
When you use good taste, you.
will be gracious, well-poised, and
thoroughly agreeable at all times.
ETIQUETTE SAYS - Never
comb your hair, or re-touch your
makeup in public, retire to the
powder room for this task.
