Elijah D. j H|''-ak if y°uY Flowers, Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs. 'larefoot sandal: to spring to life and you have one typical American beauty. Clothes are important but the basic foundation is what counts. Begin with your skin—a daily sun bath plus a little effort will give a tan worthy of the time expended. Be careful to take it slowly at first, using olive oil or a lotion to prevent getting a burn, and do be careful to use cotton pads soaked .in oil on, your eyes to keep the lids soft and fife from lines put there from .squinting at the sun. Now to the glow—give your Face a scrubbing every night with a facial brush, or the ringer- tips, massaging upward; rinse with warm then cold water; and pat dry. On your elbows, knees and heels do a good scrubbing job and lather with cream to make them soft. If you just won't tan, without a blister, use the brand of leg make-up to suit your skin end, please, put it on smoothly, brushing off the excess after it dries. There's a new patented device for drawing a seam up your leg to give the real appearance of stockings. If used properly you have a look better than the finest nylons. Now your nails—don't bite them for goodness takes!! Keep them well-groomed by cleaning them; •sing cuticle oil and a buffer to keep them healthy and shining. Pick a polish to blend, not clash, with your costume. And don't toilet a pedicure—give your feet a going to wear Review Of 1943- '44 Student Officers (Continued from page 2) Ensley.

Husband — Don't be silly, my dear. Tbere isn't that much money. As to eyes—the plucked eyebrow — slinky-eyed look is out. The natural curve of eye-brows well groomed above clear eyes— no matter if you have short lashes —is now the code for both coeds and working girls. Getting plenty of sleep—following several simple rules for resting the eyes during a oik or study periods—these are two good rules to follow to look •ally alert in our war-time world. When studying or doing eye- straining work look up, out the vindow, then slowly move your pyes up-and-down, in-and-out. Now lose them, throw your head back and massage the lids and at the •orners gently with your finger tips. See if they don't work better after this brief period.

Using a little soda occasionally and seeing the dentist twice a year will help prevent decay and stains on your teeth. Your posture—or lack of good posture—can either make or break you before the public eye. A beautiful girl detracts from her appearance if she slumps. If you find it an effort to stand erect practice a few simple exercises. Place your feet straight ahead, stand against the wall, tummy flat, shoulders back, fanny in, and head erect walk away from the wayy keeping this posture. There are many rules for aiding in overcoming poor posture, but most of us don't stand up because we forget to. Take a look in your mirror from all four sides and see how badly you look slumped over. Then put on sensible heels for classes and work—walking is the order for today—remember, you are an American with a heritage of which to be proud. If that doesn't make you face the world with erect shoulders and a head balanced to face the world—proud and unafraid—nothing will.
