AGGRESSIVE GIRLS.

DO TITET MAKBT WELL?

"Be yourself!" "With this brief yet pithy retort. Colleen iloore. First National film star, denies the assertions made by Helen Gwynne, retiring president of the Y.W.C.A. National Industrial Assembly, who recently declared in X ew Tork that "to catch a man, a girl meet wear gaudy clothing, have bobbed hair, and cultivate a spirit of aggression."

"The demure, submissive «lrl doesn't go far in matrimony," Miss Gwynne declared.

"and co to attract attention to herself she must dress in bright colours."

"All wrong," avers Fair Colleen, iwho declares tbat the gaudy aggressive girl docs not attract a man matrimonially inclined.

"The modern girl who asks herself 'what kind of a girl must I he to be the kind of girl the boys want mc to be?' often thinks as does Miss Gwynne, that she must paint and powder, wear loud clothes, and "flap" to the limit, in order to snare a husband.

"Don't do it, girls—be yourself! The simple, modest and retiring girl is the kind that the boys are looking for—that is, for wives."
