HOW DO YOU LOOK ...
. . . After you have washed your hair at home? If you don't want to look a perfect guy, wear a pretty wrap, and when your hair is almost dry tie it up with a piece of ribbon to match the wrap. Don't be careless of your appearance when washing the hair at home—you never know who might pop in!
. . . In the morning'.' Are you one of those women who go about in any old thing up, to mid-day, or do you go in for some of the very attractive overalls one can get these days? The really smart woman can make herself look just as attractive in the morning as she does during the afternoon and evening.
. . . When you're motoring? By buying the right kind of clothes, particularly coats, one can manage to look quite tidy, even after a long drive. Keep a spare powder-puff and lipstick in a pocket of the car.
. . . When you're shopping? Never go out to buy clothes unless you look your best. And you cannot possibly choose a new hat if you've got to guess how you'll look in it when you wear the dress it is to match. And it's nr> use buying hats when you've a splitting headache or when your hair needs attention.
. . . .When you're angry? Try not to look too fierce and horrible, or whoever you want to impress will only laugh, and your righteous wrath will be wasted. Don't pull faces, stamp your feet, and gesticulate. Keep calm, and, if possible, wear an earnest smile. Strangely enough, few people seem to realise the value of an earnest smile that says such a lot in such a nice way.
. . . When you're cooking? Don't look flushed and flustered, but keep the kitchen tidy, know what you're going to make before starting, and work methodically.
Hold an invisible mirror up to yourself occasionally, and you'll be surprised at the reflections you'll see; reflections that can be altered considerably after—well, a little reflection!— Home Chat.
