and homemaker and still
finds time to look like q
movie star.
Being well groomed hasn't
come easy for me-" Hope told
me. when I was younger.
there were so many other
things I enjoyed doing that
I would often dash out Of
the house feeling ashamed
Of the way I looked.
But almost every time I
would run into someone who
shouldn't have seen me that
way. I finally resolved to get
with it and be well groomed
and well dressed"
We were lunching in a chic
new French restaurant, Au
Petit Jean, in Beverly Hills,
and Hope was beautifully
dressed in a beige suit which
almost matched the color of
her hair.
I complimented Hope on
her coiffeur. recalling how
she'd complained the first
time we met about not being
able to do a thing with it.
How did you lick that prob
lem?" I wanted to know.
Her Hair
ut was a combination Of
patience. trial and error"
she said. There was no one
dramatic thing, Just a COM
bination Of many small ones.
I couldn't handle my hair
when I was modelling in New
York, and I almost had to
live in the beauty salon. But
now, with all the new prepa-
rations. I've learned to keep
my hair looking nice between
weekly appointments.
I'D be lost without those
gigantic rollers. I buy the
largest they make, for they
give my hair body without q
curl and without having to
use a quick-set lotion. I spray
it just a little after I put up
my hair, and in a very short
time it's ready to be combed.
After I've arranged 1t, I
cover my hair with a loose
fitting net cap and play the
waves into place with a rat
tail comb. Coaxing my hair
Just the way I want it is a
trick I've recently learned.
"Permanents and I never
got along. and I finally gave
them up. Too much curl is
not at all becoming to me.
Now they can be controlled so
well that a permanent can be
used for body and soft waves
without curls.
Il suppose we women all
resent the time we spend in
the beauty salon. I used to,
but I don't fight it any more.
I've learned to make my visit
q time to read and relax. I
sit under the dryer in an air.

book. and I leave the shop
refreshed.
Our talk turned to clothes.
"All my mistakes came from
shopping in a hurry, and
there were plenty of them.
But I've been helped to be
organized about my ward
robe-to be an opportunist.
When I see something I
know Is right for me, I buy
1t, even If I don't need it lust
then. And when the occa-
sion for this type of dress
comes up. I'm prepared. I
even do my Christmas shop
ping this way. I see some
thing appealing, and I buy it,
knowing I'll find someone
who will like it.
Know Quality
"It's fun to take advantage
OF sales. But you must know
quality and discriminate be-
tween what has value and
what has been reduced as a

I'm proud to say I've never
fallen for a style just because
it was the fashion of the mo-
