screen's most beautiful beautiful beautiful ful stars gives her opinion on the subject For good measure she adds a few of her own practical methods for keeping fit and beautiful By Hope Hampton I T DO not believe that exercising the face would prove very satisfactory in in bringing o one e up to the American standard of beau beauty y It might do very well weIl for women who are content to be beautiful merely from the neck upward though I doubt even that for several reasons The instructions attributed to the Mayfair specialists moreover are rather lather indefinite Under the eyes of their experts it is possible that certain exercises would do wonders in developing developing developing develop develop- ing the facial muscles but I should imagine that practiced by the uninitiated uninitiated uninitiated they would do far more harm than good In giving my opinion as requested I Iam Iam Iam am not posing as an authority Frankly I dont don't know very much about beauty treatments but there are one or two things that must strike any anyone one who regards these Mayfair 1 beauty exercises seriously Just what do they mean by pouting Ask the various members of your family to pout for you and just see the variety of grimaces they'll offer you I know F that when a director in the motion pic ture studio asks one of othe the cast to pout he gets a multitudinous assortment of expressions which runs the whole gamut of melancholy THE HE dictionary describes the word as meaning to be sullen protrude the lips in ill humor When I think of pouting I always conjure up the image of a young pursing her lips and instructing her offspring to say pease and the bored infants infant's response Instead of banning the ugly lines which run from the nose to the mouth I should think that pouting in its technical sense r of the lips in ill i i. i e e. e the protruding humor would develop them Frequent y 1 po pout pouting 11 instead of keeping the lips young and fresh would v tend to give the the mouth a permanently sullen expression Apart from the deleterious effect it r would have on the muscles around the mouth just figure out the depressing effect it would have on your friends friends- not to mention the very possible influence influence influence ence it would have on your own spirits It is a well established fact that by forcing a mechanical smile upon our lips lips lifting lifting the corners corners we corners we we obtain a decided mental stimulus Unless they are the result of some really serious cause our blues vanish like mists mists mists-be- before before be be- fore the morning sun when we bring a agrin agrin agrin grin to bear on them Just t take ke careful note of the cheerful old ladies you meet They have kept their lower face muscles from sagging through the simple measure of always keeping a smiling upper lip Doesn't it stand to reason then that the pouting if persisted in would have the opposite result As for smiling whenever you have a spare moment V Well ell you cant can't smile and pout at the same time And just how you can smile but not on any account allow the eyes to smile is quite beyond me Just baring the teeth isn't a smile and when our lips smile our eyes eyes mechanically follow suit Just try it in your own mirror I have read descriptions of villains and villains who smiled only with the lips while the eyes remained cold but butI I have never met this phenomenon outside outside outside out out- side of the printed page I should call such an expression a grimace Roll the eyes There I am glad to find something that I can really eally mend Rolling the eyes if this exercise is not practiced too strenuously is excellent excellent excellent ex ex- ex- ex for the muscles Though it will not of course make the eyes larger larger- it will certainly make small eyes look larger It will make them more brilliant brilliant brilliant bril bril- and effective However I dont don't think I need caution girl readers to be a little discreet The rolling roIling of the eyes in public is likely to have a rather devastating effect If you were in the omnibus s the train or the car you would have to be very careful to obtain a window seat so that you could roll your eyes in the direction of the passing landscape Otherwise your fellow passengers passengers male male and female female- might misunderstand the single males might regard your rolling eye-rolling as encouragement encouragement encouragement en en- and the married females as encroachment t But roll your eyes in the privacy of your bedroom or boudoir and you will be bewell bewell well repaid To 10 sniff A sniff What's that exactly Again I had recourse to Dr r d l i i i j 1 f j J I g American ican Girl says j That simply making faces is

lexicographers lexicographers lexi lexi- have itA itA it A short jerky inhalation or the sound of such an inhalation often regarded as asa asa asa a manifestation of contempt disdain or incredulity is his way of regarding it It looks to me as if sniffing is rather a disagreeable price to pay for the development development development de de- de- de of fine sensitive nostrils Also though as I said before I am no expert in these matters it seems logical to suppose that while so much sniffing might benefit a very thin nose and tend to make it broader you would be likely to get yourself heartily disliked by the time you had sniffed enough to wear down thick nostrils As As for myself I can sniff a rose for hours hour without consciously moving a muscle Biting and chewing are excellent

ears just over the hinge of the jaw Let the jaw drop as far as it itcan itcan itcan can go Work it up and down until the face feels perfectly relaxed You will notice that you look very dumb and stupid while you you are doing this but in time you will find that it not only strengthens the muscles around the jaw itself but will improve the whole contour of the face Relaxation is of great importance

suc success ess What is one mans man's meat is Another nother mans man's poison is a very true adage It is necessary y to experiment in order to discover exactly what suits our individual needs n T TWO WO things however I believe can be universally recommended to all who are seeking beauty First proper breathing second quantities of water In my opinion those are the greatest beautifiers in the world Deep breathing is a very very valuable t muscular exercise it stimulates the liver the stomach and the heart There is an art in breathing and the control of the breath as it is taught to singers ought to be taught in all the schools I drink quarts of water every day whether I am thirsty or not and I practice practice practice tice deep breathing regularly I dont don't smoke or drink coffee or alcoholic bev bev- Quantities of fresh fruits are supposed supposed supposed sup sup- posed to be great beautifiers I have found that uncooked fruits contain too much acid for my system so I have my fruits stewed When I am not working on a picture my life follows very closely the following follow follow- ing regime I rise at 9 o'clock and go for a walk around the reservoir in Central Park which is just a couple of blocks awa away from my home On my return I have breakfast consisting of stewed ved fruit a cereal and tea After breakfast I go oV over r my mail and write my personal letters I prepare for my singing lesson and at noon my teacher arrives In the afternoon afternoon after after- afternoon noon I have hav one hours hour's strenuous dancing lesson At 4 o'clock I have tea and sandwiches At I eat re real l dinner with quantities of vegetables I dont don't care much for meat and chocolate is just as stimulating to me as coffee is to most people WHILE RILE I am making a picture I rise v at in order to have my morning morning morning morn morn- ing walk in the park and arrive at the studio at 8 The remainder of the regime is the same except that I never go out in the evening while I am working and go to bed in time to get in nine hours' hours sleep which is for me absolutely essary I learned what suited me best by ex ex- ex- ex For instance I was was was' very fond of fresh fruit and every everyone one seemed to think this was a very good and healthful thing for me However I suffered suffered suffered suf suf- a great deal from colds and this interfered with my singing Finally I discovered that my system was receiving too much acid from the fresh fruits I tried substituting stewed fruits and my colds disappeared Another thing I have eliminated is sweets Too much sugar ruins the di digestion digestion digestion di- di and when the digestion is out of order orde all sorts of other ailments arise Since ill health is the greatest foe of beauty anything which in any way threatens to foster it should be carefully guarded against All freakish diets which are recommended recommended recommended mended for persons who wish to reduce their weight are very dangerous if continued continued continued con con- for any length of time without medical supervision Lack of exercise and too much sweet stuffs is the combination which usually leads to

keep keeping ing the the face immobile is one sure way to avoid wrinkles even unto old age At the opera in Cairo Egypt I had hada a glimpse of the ladies of one of the great harems They were hidden from the regular audience by a screen which was raised occasionally during the per per- I was simply fascinated by them and instead of keeping my eyes on the stage I glued them to that mysterious mysterious mysterious mys mys- curtain These beauties were enormous I understand that their ages ranged from 15 lb to 17 yet not one of them could have weighed an ounce under pounds That hideous avoirdupois was considered beautiful in the eyes of their owners and they gained it by eating eating eating eat eat- ing quantities of sweets and taking absolutely absolutely absolutely ab ab- ab- ab no exercise It is very easy to lose a few pounds by dieting or eating virtually nothing for three days but when a woman has allowed al allowed allowed al- al lowed herself to become very much overweight she ought not to take chances by indulging in the lamb Iamb chop and pineapple pineapple pineapple pine pine- apple or baked potato and milk diets without first consulting her doctor dodor By simply omitting luncheon I keep my weight down and I know many other picture motion-picture actresses who do dothe do the same Nibbling bet meals is the She he very best way to put on w weight ight if you are underweight therefore the girl who wishes to retain or obtain the fashionable fashionable fashionable fashion fashion- able boyish form ought to avoid this Plenty of water sipped slowly not only will dispel any possible hunger pangs but will al also o give her the schoolgirl complexion which is so much desired Walking dancing and rid horseback ing big are arc my favorite forms of exercise i For the girl who goes to business I 1 should think walking tennis and swimming swimming swimming swim- swim ming would be excellent Since her oc oc occupation c. c keeps her indoors s so so many hours of the day it would be well for her herto to put in as much of her free time outdoors as possible I wish I could send out a brief formula for the achievement of beauty but I have never discovered one myself The best advice I have to offer is that each one should study herself If she isn't feeling perfectly fit she can painstakingly painstakingly painstakingly investigate and find out what the trouble is and eliminate that Though I have mentioned several things which I have eliminated froth from fro in my di diet t I know others who indulge in all of them and are both beautiful and perfectly perfectly perfectly per per- healthy I need nine hours' hours sleep but many of my acquaintances get along err very well on seven Finally I want to suggest that the r habit that many American girls have of making faces is contrary to the ex experts experts ex- ex of Mayfair fatal to beauty The Chinese and Japanese women are M. M supposed to have the most immobile faces in the world They are singularly free from les even even- evenin in old age A friend of mine who lived for many years q pe in the Orient told old me that it was considered con con- Fe very ill-bred ill and bad form to register any sort of emotion in |
