BY LOIS LEEDS. SOME ONE has said that a woman's personal attractiveness is made up of one-quarter beauty arts, one- quarter natural beauty and one-half personality. Classic perfection of face and figure is not necessary to charm by any means. Irregular features, tall- ness and shortness are not the insur- mountable barriers to beauty that some girls imagine them to be. What is essential is a certain poise and zest in living which is magnetic. It is this radiant quality that your favorite movie star fosters most assidu- ously. She had natural good looks to begin with and uses makeup skillfully just like thousands of other girls, but it is her vitality, her surplus physical energy thet has carried her to star- dom. The cultivation of this vitality, this dynamic health, is just as worth while for you as for her. There is, of course, more to an attractive person- ality than mere animal spirits—there | is the emotional and mental side—but | for those who lack personal magnetism [ the most practical approach to it is through the physical. A great many girls and women never know real physical fitness. They | are not really sick, but they have only enough physical energy to get through their daily routine. They don't carol in their bathtubs nor run lightly upstairs. As children they were full of life, but now they plod with little enthusiasm for anything. These are the people who complain that no- body notices them nor finds them at- tractive. If you have allowed yourself to fall into this cldss and want to snap out of it here's how to begin. You can bring out the latent charm of your personality if you will plan systema- tically for it. Concentrate first on building up abounding health and vitality. You may have to neglect | some of your usual duties and give up some long-cherished habits, but you will make the necessary sacrifices you are sure to win out in the end. Your renewed physical force will make all your old tasks lighter and you will have energy to spare for those stim- ulating. extra activities and hobbies that you now lack the strength and enthusiasm to pursue. Begin by taking enough time for | sleep. If you are thin and below par physically, be in bed for nine hours |out of each 24. This may include | eight hours at night, with a one-hour nap after luncheon. Sleep in a quiet, dark and well ventilated room without a roommate if possible. You need to gather vitality from sunshine and outdoor air, so plan to | spend at least two hours every day in the open. Even if it rains, go out and take a walk. Business girls can get in their two hours out of doors by walk- | their work, spending half their lunch hour outdoors and taking advantage of the long Summer evenings. You can't keep vital and full of pep without regular exercise of some kind to stir up your circulation. Five minutes in the morning and 10 in the evening should be given to exercises for stretching and limbering the mus- |cles and massaging the internal organs. Deep breathing will come naturally with brisk exercise. The right kind of diet is, of course, essential. Eat intelligently. Most of us know better than we practice when it comes to eating. Think of your meals as means of building a radiant personality. Don't clog your system with rich, indigestible foods. Don't let beauty. Learn to like spinach if you haven't already done so. H. E.

HIS is the moment when Sum- mer bachelors take precedence over feminine kitchenette housekeepers. These poor helpless souls (that is what they call themselves, but I don't believe one word of it!) find out © that the little woman has not been making ‘a “fuss about noth- ing,” and that there is some- thing besides ease and comfort in running a house, after all. Dishes have a dramatic way of piling up; beds, no matter how carefully made, inevitably get at sixes and sevens three minutes after the occupant has turned in; rolls of dust accumulate with horrifying rapidity, and the gold- | fish or canary birds left in the mas- | culine hands invariably sicken and die.

The much-overworked “feminine touch” is | definitely an important factor, and | no matter how scientifically a deserted | husband tackles the job of keeping house, things always seem to go wrong in a big way. Even the laundry | gets mixed up, and the collars come back with a nice saw-tooth edge, the | socks are shrunk to infants’ size, and no one has any record of that last pair of white flannels that went to be cleaned. My advice to the abandoned gentle- | men, in this case,is to invest in solid comfort in the form of a competent | household assistant. The extra ex- | penditure balances itself in the end | by saving on materials, general wear and tear, and the employer's nerves. Chalk it up as “Summer expense” and proceed to reap the benefits there- from. A “scrub lady,” or chore man, will come in for a few hours every morn- | ing, and reduce chaos to order in a | remarkable manner. Dishes will be | washed, laundry will be sorted and | sent out, telephones will be answered, beds will be made properly and floors will be innocent of dust.

A | | GIRL thinks about marrying | pretty much as & man thinks | about retiring from business. Getting to a place where one has achieved one’s objective, where one has secured a livellhood and where one can sit down and rest and take things easily. She thinks that she will no longer have to wear herself out weaving | spells about a man that she has al- ready caught; that she will not have to primp and powder and paint and doll herself up so that she will look good to a mere husband; that she will not have to flatter and cajole him and labor overtime, as she did in the days of courtship, to keep him interested and amused. In short, she | looks upon marriage as sort of Ely- sium in which a woman can throw all her tricks out of the window and eat all she wants to and let out her corset strings aud discard all tact and subtlety and just let Nature take its| course, This mistaken theory concerning the privileges and emoluments of matrimony is one of the main reasons why there are so many wives beating their breasts over husbands who are lost, strayed or stolen, and why there are so many divorces. For catching a husband is easy enough. Holding him is the thing that takes per- petual vigilance and keeping on the job. And so those ladies who hold to the faith that marriage gives them the right to slump are headed for much grief. IT IS the greatest pity in the world that women do not realize that marriage should not be the end but the beginning of a woman's attrac- tiveness, and that she should put forth a thousandfold more effort to be fascinating to her husband than she was to her suitor.

In all good truth, marriage is the turning point of every woman's life. It is then that she begins either to peter out or to make something of herself. Up to then she has had the freshness and beauty and allure of youth. She has had the animal gay- ety, the high spirits, the playfulness is ¥ § i | i E £ : ks 4 i D.

Dix Says Mean Woman Can who look as if they need to be run ! through the laundry. | Every woman when she gets married decides for herself whether she is going to degenerate into a bore, or keep herself interesting. She decides | whether her husband will get tired of her and lose his taste for her or not. There are plenty of women who, | as soon as they are married, give up whatever accomplishments they have had. They never touch the piano | again or sing any more. They never read a new book or even the news- papers. They give up their clubs and drop out of society. They never have a new thought or a fresh idea and they get as dull as dish water. * x % x T IS no wonder that the wives who make no effort to keep up with their husbands mentally and socially and who never try to be bright and entertaining and amusing and sym- pathetic drive their husbands to other women for companionship. The wives who pal with their husbands, who are always ready to grab their hats and go when their husbands want to step out, who are good listeners and who always have something interesting to talk about, never have to complain that they are left to spend lonely eve- nings at home while husband diverts himself elsewhere. And women decide when they marry what kind of wives they are going to be; whether they are going to be help- mates or parasites; whefher they are going to be peevish and fretful and complaining or good sports; whether they are going to take matrimony on the chin or go down before the first blow. For marriage isn't the end of things to a woman. It is just the beginning, where she starts out to make what she will of it. And there is no place in it where she can sit down and fold her hands and take it easily. DOROTHY DIX. (Copyright. 1935.) Style Trend.

Hettie looked up from the castle she was building and said, “Margie's hein’ bad.” “Why, I wonder?” “I don’t know. Guess wants to.” Margie’s screams grew louder and people looked in her direction. “Hush, Margie, hush! Everybody's looking at you.” “I don't care. I don't care. Let me go. Let me go. I wanna go-o-o!” Norah set her jaw grimly, tight- ened her hold on Margie’s arm and hustled her toward the cottage. Mrs. Witherby was at the door to meet them. “What is it? Anything hap- pened? Is she hurt? Margie, stop yelling!” “Nothing in this world the matter with her, madam. She just up and ‘cause she ill I brought her in before she dis- | graced herself forever.” | Margie, angry to the roots of her | hair, stamped and screeched.

No sound came from the upper regions and mother sighed in relief. “Nothing happened to her, Norah? You're sure?” | “Certain, madam. Just the badness in her. That's everything that's the matter.” After a time grandma came down | the stairs leading a lovely little girl | by the hand. This little girl was | dressed in a pale blue organdie frock. | Bare legs, white sandals, short socks | with a blue line at the ankle. “We're going to call on Evelyn and her mother. We will be home for tea, please,” said grandma, with a touch of dignity and formality that was charming. After bedtime, when Margie was asleep and the two ladies rocked on the porch, grandma sald: “I put that dress Margie had on_this morn- ing in the waste bag. It was inp possible.” “Her dress? I didn't notice. Was it soiled, or torn, or what?” “It was impossible. Orange and red and green stripes, and an orange- red hat. She looked like an awning out for a gallop with the wind. No wonder she had a temper spell. Who in the world bought the thing in the first place?” “Katherine made it for her birth- day. I thought it very gay for the beach. You think it was—" “Impossible. It made her feel loud | and vulgar and rebellious. The child takes the mood of her dress quickly.

Dress is dramatic. That is why we have uniforms. Children are espe- cially impressed by clothes, so choose them for the occasion and the mood. They are very effective in influencing manners and behavior. (Copyright. 1935.) Cook’s Corner BY MRS. ALEXANDER GEOR AN AUGUST SUNDAY DINNER.

There must be dresses that are not too elaborate nor too fussy, in detail to make her appear at her best. But she should have things that are soft and graclous in line and are quite different from the sports dresses, | in which she spends most of her days. This season the gracious afternoon frock is more apparent, where smart women gather, than in many sea- sons passed. There is a tendency towards the wearing of dressier cos- tumes for leisure hours, which is wel- comed by women who tire of the sim- ple, straight-lined frock, which had become almost a uniform in years gone by. Capes are important in the mode. They appear on every sort of dress and are particularly at home 4in the | afternoon dress of sheer fabric. Fur- thermore, they are unusually becom- ing to the older woman, for they | tend to make hips slim, in contrast, and as there is no necessity for sleeves | when they are employed there is the | advantage of coolness and comfort. | The cape in today's illustration reaches | almost to the waist and quite to the | elbows and is edged with a wide band | of net or any transparent material. | It crosses, surplice-fashion, in the front, and is adorned with two huge | flowers.

Others are permanently barren and might as well be ripped out. They are usually plants grown from seed. Grafted plants should always be demanded, for they usually bloom when only 3 feet high. They may cost a little more than kinds grown from seed but are worth the difference. Much can be done to make wis- tarias bloom better by cutting the long straggly canes back to within 4 feet of the old wood. August is the time to do this work. New spurs will be developed and flow- ers are likely to appear on them. (Copyright. 1935.)
