BEAUTY SECRETS

HANG YOUR CAREER ON THE COAT-HANGER 4 ‘Ninety-nine out of every hundred women are interested in romance—and the other one isn’t telling the truth! *' So said Cecil DeMille. To this day no one has ever seen a De Mille-directed picture without love interest, and so successful has his policy been that every producer in Hollywood has followed his precedent. The great human tragedy seems to be that romance is not always interested in women. There are dozens of reasons why some women do not enjoy the pc%ularity they naturally crave and deserve, but one of the most vital reasons is that they have typed themselves as nurses, newspaper women, business women, or beauty operator. Whatever your profession is—don’t carry it into your social life! “A man admires a self-radiant, resourceful woman,” says Clark Gable, ‘‘but he prefers allure and glamour for romances.’' 41 A career woman who can be soft and feminine when she is with you is the ideal type.”' William Powell told me. oMany happily married women and socially successful girls are nurses, perhaps doctors, writers or secretaries during their working hours. But they drop ; their uniforms when they go out in the 1 evening, or readily assume the role of wife or sweetheart when they are home. Suppose you are a nurse—you wear a starched, immaculate uniform all day. 1 You are cleanliness personified, but your make-up is strictly conservative and your hair is arranged with neatness, rather than glamour in mind. You even walk in a hurried professional manner. You deal with tho suffering, and quite often the seamy side, of humanity.
