Pay Attention to Grooming Details and Earn Friends
By Ertta Haley
T^O you have as many friends as
you’d like? Would you like to
make a better impression on more ■
people, especially when you meet
them foi the first time?
If you answer in the affirmative,
then your wishes can come true.
A “yes” answer means you’re
open-minded about your appear-
ance and will do something to im-
prove it.
It’s a busy world we’re living in,
and its people are very busy. Al-
though you may have been told we
shouldn’t judge people by appear-
ances, that remains the way in
which things are done. If you ap-
pear sweet and charming, you
naturally interest people to know
you better than if you are mousy in
appearance. Somehow most people
are too busy to try to find out about
someone they meet casually unless
there’s something attractive to find
at first glance.
Don’t let lack of prettiness both-
er you. Don’t let a lack of many
fine clothes disturb you. These have
little to do with the essential ques-
tion of looking well to people. Basic
clea-nliness, good taste in clothes,
careful grooming and a sense of
what’s fitting for you, all these are
much more important.
True, some of these things take
time every day, and it’s also true
that you'll have to spend some time
studying yourself, admitting your
shortcomings and then trying to
find out what to do about them, but
that can be interesting. After all,
the subject is you!
Start by looking at yourself every
soot or if the hair is oily. It may
mean once a week or once in ten
days. You are the judge of when
the hair is soiled, but do be criti-
cal. There’s nothing so untidy as
lanky, dirt-coated hair. Keep it
full of vitality and rich in color
with the shampoo.
Use Good Sense
In Clothes Selection
It may take you years to learn
how to be well dressed, but if you
try, the results show immediately.
Good taste is a necessity, and you
may have to learn this the hard
way, through many errors. Learn-
ing is, however, interesting, and
when you learn, it will never leave
you.
Good taste in clothing implies
many things. It means something
which fits you, personally, in type
and styling. It points up your best
qualities and hides figure as well
as coloring faults.
Good taste is not dull. It’s dram-
atic, but it’s not being flamboyant-
ly daring so as to offend. Good taste
is subtle, too, and as such may re-
quire thought and study.
Certain things are basic. With
one of the shorter coats, yoii should
wear a narrow skirt, for they look
best. If the skirt shows under your
coat, it must be darker than the
coat or matching.
With sport clothes, one does not
wear high heels, open-toed or open-
heeled models. Have them trim and
tailored. Save the others for dress
occasions.
Try light gloves with darker
clothes, and you may be surprised
how smart they look. If a costume
is simple, add interest with con-
trasting jewelry; if . elaborate,
match the jewelry to the clothes, so
attention is not too divided and
confused. If in doubt about jewelry,

it’s smarter not to wear it.
Here are Good Tips
For the Budget-Minded
When one has something
and fitting and is certain
costume is attractive and compli-
ment-getting, there’s little desire
for a lot of choice.
With a limited budget, choose
clothes that go well together. This
is especially true in the accesory
picture. You may be able to afford
only one set. Select suits and dress-
es which will go with the color.
Forget about buying things which
will go with only one suit or dress
You’ll not get full value in use on
such items. Forget about the most
expensive fabrics and materials in
accessories. Buy quality in less ex-
pensive accessories, like good cot-
ton gloves in place of leather or
suede.
Good Clothing Care
Spells Good Grooming
Many dresses and suits have an
almost miraculous way of shed-
ding wrinkles if they’re hung as
soon as taken off. This helps assure
them of being in condition when
next you wear them again.
Spot cleaning and frequent press-
ing of clothing helps keep them
looking well, and saves the cloth-
ing as well as professional care.
Pay special attention to collars and
cuffs when doing a spotting job.
Other spots should be removed as
quickly as possible to prevent ruin-
ing the garment.
Institute Routine
I’or Cleanliness
There’s something sparkling and
glowing about a girl who’s as clean
as it’s possible to be. Just watch
those about you: see if those who
are immaculate don’t rate more
attention and praise than the pretty
girl whose slightly untidy hair,
nails and unpressed clothes leave
much to be desired.
Cleanliness, then, is attractive.
A daily routine faithfully followed
adds up to more cleanliness than
thorough scrubbing once in a while
“when you have nothing else to
do.”
One bath or thorough shower a
day is an absolute essential. Per-
haps you prefer the shower in the
morning, others may like the re-

Costellos and the Adonises rate an
“assist.” In fact he owes a lot to
them. Their attitude in the Ke-
fauver telecasts played into his
hands and made a hero of him. It
was the fuss raised by Costello and
others over being televised that
made the hearings a big show, with
Rudy the top star. They made Hal-
ley look good, and while they didn’t
realize it, started him on a career
that put him in public office and
that can make him Mayor of New
York. Rudolph Halley owes his
election, more or less to two short
sentences, “I decline to answer”
and “I don’t remember.”
— By H. I. Phillips
•pUDOLPH HALLEY, Kefauver
*■’ Committee quiz-master, asked
the voters of New York for a
straight “yes” or “no” and did
not get the old “I refuse to answer
on the ground it might incriminate
or degrade me” routine. It was as
though he pointed an accusing fin-
ger at Civic Conscience, after a
little fencing, and gave out with
the rasping, “Now then where ‘were
you on November 6, 1951?” Little
did the Senate Crime Committee
think that its agent, the arch foe
of gambling, would become one
of the biggest gamblers in political
history, entering the game as a
longshot and winning pulled up.
The sensational victory of the boy-
wonder who has the facial expres-
sion of an olive with eyeglasses, the
voice of a bullfrog and a mind of
a two-pin Phi Beta Kappa scholar
was a standout among the election
results, it was the first big test
of video a? a campaign influence.
Halley shapes up like a combi-
nation of Fiorello LaGuardia. Ned
Sparks, Tom Dewey, Captain Video,
Sherlock Holmes, Diogenes, Ted
Atkinson, Jack the Giant Killer and
The Boy Who Stood on the Burning
Deck. Kefauver wrote a book. Hal-
ley may be writing a saga. The
Senator merely embarrassed Bill
O’Dwyer, but Rudolph has almost
taken Bill’s old job. LaGuardia was
“The Hat.” Halley is already being
called “The Headlight.” Anti-
crime marches on! And the latest
diagnosis of the Tammany Tiger's
trouble is “Halley-tosis.”
Every time a witness gave
out with them at the Kefauver
telecasts he shoved Rudy a step
nearer the mayoralty and may-
be the governorship. If he had
a personality smile, looked
good in a Rough Rider suit and
showed an interest in African
hunting, well, who knows? Ted-
dy Roosevelt got his start in

Rudy’s face had become as

millions through the Kefauver
telecasts. His voice had , be-

known as Bobby Clark’s. H* is
not a warm personality; he
doesn’t suggest friendliness. But
on the video he had become a
symbol of virtue over evil, a
sort of White Knight in Ke-
fauver clothing. Rudy conveyed
an indisputable “I ain’t fool-
ing, bub” impression in his war
on crookedness. In the public
reaction to vice and corruption
in government, he was a na-
tural.

“But do what we will, there are
times, a good many of them, when
our girls are off with their friends,
and nothing would seem stranger
than for me or any other adult to
go along, sit through the awful
shows, yawn at the “table in the
candy store, accept the youngsters’
forced politeness. Long ago, when
mothers chaperoned their girls, life
was quieter, parties few and far
apart, movies and night clubs, soda
counters and motor cars and tele-
phones unknown, youngsters didn’t
expect to be amused all the time.
“Now do advise me. I want my
girls to be happy. I don’t want them
to be the freaks whose parents
lock them up in high towers. They
love me, they trust me and con-
fide in me completely. I’m never
shocked, never affronted or sur-
prised. Help me to do the right thing
in these all-important years, be-
cause so soon they’ll step into lives
of their own, and understand bet-
ter what is going on now, and what
the values of home guidance and
influence are.”
This letter made me think pretty
seriously, for no one knows better
than I if a mother attempted to
chaperon one girl today she would
have her time completely filled.
No, Madeleine, you can’t do it.

demands a harassed mother, Mad-
eleine Thorne of Evanston. “I have
three girls and two boys, and we’ve
always been proud of our beauti-
ful family,” the letter goes on. “But
for the last few years the situation
has gotten pretty well out of hand
and neither Lane nor I know just
what to do.
“Our oldest girl, Susan-Lee, is
18, Sally-Ann is 16, and Mab, who
follows two brothers, only 9. All
three girls are pretty, with the red-
blonde hair and brown eyes of
Lane’s folks. Both older girls are
popular, and they have been dating
boys for some years. At first that
was simple; they moved in herds
of six and eight, and after school

up at 10:30.

Packaged Trees
Ready for Yule
Minnesota Factory
Ships Over World
p Y CHRISTMAS. Roy Halvorson,
known around Duluth, Minn.,
as “the Christmas tree king.” ex-
pects to have shipped about a mil-
lion and a quarter trees all over the
world. Each of the trees—swamp
spruces. 32 to 40 inches tall, treated
with green, white or silver preser-
vative and having metal bases with
sealed-in formulated sap—comes
in a special gift package, wrapped
in tissue paper, tied with ribbons
and containing a box of 24 orna-
ments.
Halvorson caters to companies
and individuals with large gift
orders—all the donor has to do is
fill in an order form, listing each
person to receive a tree. The trees
are packed in white corrugated car-
tons and mailed direct from the
factory with gift cards.
So far he has orders for 20.000
gift packs. Mr. Halvorson says
Christmas trees this year are 15
per cent higher in price because of
increased cost of labor and materi-
als. His factory operates from the
first of September through Christ-
mas, rests until February, runs
until June and stays idle July and
August.
Trees come from Halvorson’s
10,000-acre forest, or on state-owned
forests. Each year, Halvorson crews
cut over 10,000 acres of swampy
wastelands. Minnesota’s school fund
gets two cents for each tree.
Conservation officials commend
Halvorson for his part in clearing
the swampy muskeg that covers
much of the northern part of the
state.
Only swamp spruce, which grow
to a maximum of about 20 feet high-
er, are used. Woodsmen cut off the
top four feet of the tree and load in
bundles of 10 on sleds drawn h/
tractors.

But once or twice lately the near-by

and others further away. And
once when Lee was alone on the
trip, it was a nice girl’s voice at
two in the morning, explaining that
there had been a bump, no one
hurt, nothing to worry about, they
were being brought home.
“Nothing to worry about! What
do they know of the agonies, the

sitting down to wait again! It isn’t

It isn’t as if there weren’t danger-

“How can Lane and I keep an
eye on them? We’ve tried to raise
our own with high principles, but
other families don’t. We’ve tried
to warn them of the dangerous and
stupid things that can happen but
when did youth ever take that se-
riously!

“Being friendly with their friends,
letting them have friends in their

ies after school—we do all that!

superintend pencil games, keep
