Approximately 110 out of every 1000 babies born in Italy during 1937 died in the first year of life. Men Reveal Their Likes Regarding Women When they learned that the women of the school had set aside a week in which to find out about the genuine what's and how's of personality, the men immediately tried to answer these questions. And here are the answers, overheard and penned, inked and papered as late as yesterday. Norm Bowen Says Men usually pride themselves on being conservative. That is, conservative when contrasted with the opposite sex. Just as their standards of dress and clothes remain materially the same throughout the decades, so do their tastes in charming women. That goes for me. I like the old-fashioned modesty (and try to make sure it's not false). Poise and dignity are also major components of charm. A girl can't remain feminine in the eyes of men and be boisterous too. That hardly means she can't be vivacious or gay, but she certainly can't be charming and be continually heard above the crowd. Eyes remain the index to a girl's personality, and to character in general. The kind that gaze out sincerely and steadily through softly curved eyelashes, and are adorned with expressive, full, natural eyebrows remain exclusively preferred. Of course, they sparkle with the zest for life. Clothes, from the spectator's point-of-view, are appealing if the girl carries herself well has good posture. Even neatness and style without good posture will bring many a shudder from the mascu line element. Bob Peterson Says I suppose that when a boy is asked to list the qualities that he likes in a girl, he invariably starts to think of what a lot of us would term a dream girl. Of course everyone's choice varies, but I pre fer brunette hair; and when it comes to the eyes, give me big sparkling brown ones. As for the features, they must be embossed on a "peaches and cream com plexion and set with a pair of lips that well, need I go further? Of course the above are mere incidentals, for a girl must possess above all else a magnetic person ality and an enthusiastic interest in everything that her boy friend enjoys. She must not be moody in any way, and she should be a girl that gets along with both males and females. The term "beautiful but dumb" has often been used, but any girl I wold - be interested in would have to be the exception to the rule, as anything without brains would be a terrible bore. John Johnson Says Neatness above all other factors is my idea of a charming girl. Variety of clothes is all right, but it is not necessarily what counts The conservative girl is admired by the fellows as well as by her own girl associates. If a girl thinks that by wearing loud nail polish, lipstick and clothes she is making herself attractive to the fellows, she is on the wrong track. She is merely alienating herself. While every girl might not have the most perfect set of teeth, there is no excuse for not having nice white teeth. Her personality is also a great determining factor with her success in making friends. By her personality I mean common sense in social contact. Put all these factors together and you have a charming girl, friendly, neat, sensible and not necessarily a blonde. With me keen intelligence comes before great beauty. You can't Shiela Astley Expert Presents Talk On Beauty Aids Miss Sheila Astley, expert in the field of cosmetics, will instruct Weber college girls on the use of cosmetics next Monday, February 26, at 7:30 p. m., in the Ladies' Lounge. Miss Astley will stress the importance 06 cosmetics in good grooming. She will also discuss the possibilities of cosmetics as a career for college girls. Miss Astley's experience has been varied and extensive. She was born in Scotland and was educated ui the schools of England, France, and Belgium. She came to the United States in 1926. In America Miss Astley has played on prominent stages in New York, and throughout the U. S. for two years. She has received high recognition in choruses and good study parts and has studied under Beatrice Lillie and Dorothy Stone. She traveled with Madam Rubinstein for ten years. During this time she was in charge of sales training and related improvements throughout the department stores of the nation. Before settling in Ogden she supervised the sales training, personality and charm of sales girls throughout twelve western states. Miss Astley is a member of the Business and Professional Women's club, the Soroptimist. This club chooses its membership by accepting only the best in each field of work. Sheila Astley will also be master of ceremonies for the welfare style show to be given by the Women's club of Ogden, February 24, at the Hotel Ben Lomond. carry on an interesting conversation with the beautiful but dumb type. A girl to gain a fellow's respect must appreciate convention, and she should be sincere. Propriety, doing the correct thing at the right time, should lead to popularity. I don't care whether or not a girl dresses in the latest fashion. She should dress neatly but within her means. I can't say that I'd jump at the chance td take out a girl who is loud, backward, brazen or moody. Just give me a sensible, sincere, neat girl. Seaman Mills Says In my estimation a truly charming girl possesses these qualities: poise, character, friendliness toward both sexes, neatness in work and appearance, sound character, high ideals and the willingness to work hard and see a problem through once it has been encountered.She should be able to participate wholeheartedly in two or three outdoor sports, such as swimming, sailboating, horseback riding, or what have you? She chooses her clothes with good taste and tries to wear the color combinations that are best suited for her. She keeps them neat and above (or below) all else, she keeps her stocking seams straight and her slip from showing. She is anxious to make new friends and keep them. She is capable of adjusting herself to surrounding situations. She can be blonde, brunette, brownette. or red head. It really doesn't matter. Confucius say, girl with halitosis better than girl with no breath at all.

Coiffures Follow Trend of Times By EDNA MILLER Post-war style leader, Irene Castle, clipped hair short but wore wore skirts long and buttoned shoes high, while we all danced bo Dardanella and Smiles. In 1922 Colleen Moore and her Dutch bob appeared. In 1925 Wind-blown bobs ala Fifi D'Orsay were popular wibh sarnie, while oth&rs imitated the flapper curls of Clara Bow, the luscious "It" girl. In 1928 "America's Sweetheart," Mary Pickford, cut her famous tresses. In 1932 Helen Wills, 'The Queen of the Courts," adopted the bob for convenience. In 1934 The soft long bob emanating from Hollywood became universally popular, with Greta Garbo as its best knokn" exponent. From the long bob to the "page bay" was a brief step.

Newest Ink Freezes to Speed Press A new kind of printer s ink, which is hard like lumps of coal, was described to the technical association of the pulp and paper industry today. To print, the ink is melted, and it freezes as it touches the paper having the ordinary coolness of a room. Ink and type are kept hot by water almost boiling, circulating in contract with the fountain or "inkwell" and the type rollers of a printing press. The new ink means higher speed and more clarity in printing, regardless of type of paper, said Frank B. Breyer, New York chemical engineer, who made thereport. |
