REGAL BEARING
BECOMING TO
TALL GIRL
By GLADYS GLAD
“America’s Most Famous Beauty'
As I told you recently, a Broadwa,,
producer who sent out a call for beau
ties for his new revue, chose girls
who were five feet seven inches tall,
or over, from a bevy of more than
2,000 beauties. That is enough to
make you tall girls who are so con
scious of your height take heart, isn’t
it?
I'll say it is. But that needn t dis
courage the tiny girl. There are and
always will be men who prefer their
femininity small, because women of
small stature make them feel big and
manly.
But if, in spite of the Broadway
producer’s partiality to tall damsels
some of you still are discouraged and
conscious of your height, there are
many things you can do to make
yourselves look Not quite so tall. Avoid
straight, unbroken lines in your
dresses. Wear belted cresses, cape
dresses, tunics, jumpers, boleros and
peplums—if ycu'ie slender, of course.
Such frocks cut the long line of the
figure and make a girl appear short
er. The short woman, of course, must
reverse the order and avoid the tun
ics, peplums, etc., for they will tend
to make her look shorter than she is.
For the tall slender girl horizon
tally striped materials and small-fig
ured prints are best. While for the
short one dresses that do not have
contrasting belts, peplums, capes, tu
nics, are best. Her belts should be
of the same material as her dresses,
and the lines of her costumes should
be without break, and of materials
that are soft and large figured, not
stiff and flaring.
The short girl m*y wear higher
heels than the tall one, and tall hats,
not low, wide ones. In other words,
she should do just the opposite of
her tall, stately sister, if she would
appear taller than she is.
But the very best way for the tall
girl and the short girl and the mid
dle-sized one to make the right kind
of impression,, is to carry themselves
as if they were just the right height.
You beauties who are over five feet
seven, even six feet and over, hold
yourselves as if you were proud of
your height. Be regal. Don’t make
the mistake of trying to be kitten
ish. It will only make you ridicu
lous. Play up your good points, but
wear low-heeled shoes and be careful
in choosing your clothes.
And- the short girl can also make
the most of her petite figure. If she
decides it is an adventage to be small,
she will stop worrying over her lack
of height, and, while making herself
look as tall as possible by an up
right carriage and carefully dressing,
she can play her role of “little wom
an” so as to be most attractive.
Cos met ice
Louise: I thnk that a soft ochre
shade of powder, soft orange rouge
and bright, vivid lipstick would blend
harmoniously, with your coloring.

SHOULD HE TAKE
HIS GIRL BACK?
ENGAGEMENT BROKEN,
SHE IS SMOKING
AND DRINKING
By VIRGINIA LEE
B. E. C. and his girl have broken
their engagement, and for sometime
they haven’t been seeing each other
much. He learns, through a friend
of the girl’s, owever, that she would
like him to come back to her, but he
doesn’t know whet-SEr he should or
not, as he is learning to forget heT.
“I have been*going with a girl ap
proximately one year and a half. Dur
ing that time I have been working at
odd jobs up to about four months
ago. I am, at the present time, mak
ing over SIOO a month, and am plan
ning on getting a car within a very
short time. You see, I don’t believe
in buying these things on credit, or
I could have got one long ago. I
tried my level best to take my igrl
to the places she wanted to go, but
without a car you can’t go to some
of those places.
“Miss Lee, I loved this girl very
much. In fact, we were planning on
a June wedding, but when her family
heard about it they talked against it.
A month ago we broke our engage
ment.
“Miss Lee, it may sound funny to
you, but when I was going with this
girl she neither drank nor smoked,
and I admired her more than she will
ever know. During the last month
she has been going out with other fel

I hear she thinks it’s smart.
“A very good friend of this girl
told me the other night that the girl
wished that I would go back to her,
but I can’t see it that way, because
the girl that I go with and marry is
not going to drink or smoke. Should
I go back and give her another
chance, or continue not seeing her?
I’m getting used to not feeing her
now.”
Possibly if you feel you do not care
so much for this girl as you did,
B. E. C., it would be better not to go
back. The fact that she did not
stand by you when you were having
bad luck with johs does not look so
well, although of course, a girl’s fam
ily does have a powerful influence
over her.
