HEN Betty left the
room after tryhig to get her
mother to explain why she
was unattractive to men, she went
to her own room.
Her mother had tried to tellJ
ber nothing she wanted to know.
but this much,1 at least, she had
learned: She knew the reasons
were physical. Either she was not
pretty, she was not graceful, or
she lacket what she had heard
the girls In high school call "It,
whatever "It" was.
She' thought of Lola Hall, the
most popular girl In her high
school class, the little, sleek-head
ed girl whose every dance had
been cut In on the night before.
Whatever "It" was, Lois had it
plus. Betty determined to cultl
rate Lois and see if she could
find out.
She decided to bathe, dress and
call Lois on the telephone to ask
her to lunch. Like the lilies of the
field, Lois toiled not, neither did
ihe spin, but spent most of her
mornings sleeping as a result of
her numerous dates which kept
:ier up late.
Betty took a shower and a hard
rub-down. Swimming lessons had
taught her the value of a daily
ihower; it had become a part of
her routine.
When she returned to her room
md tossed aside her bathrobe she
rlanced at a statuette on her
lresser; the nude figure of a" girl
supporting a bowl, which she used
for class pins and other small ar
ticles of jewelry.
She 6miled as she remembered
her mother had objected when she
brought it home and spoke of it
is "naked." The statuette was
gracefully rounded. Betty decided
girl with a boy like that would
lie attractive in any aina 01
lothes.
She turned to the triplicate mir-
or or her dresser and began a
joint by point comparison of the
tatuette with her own body.
She laughed ruefully when she
ooked at her copper-colored hair.
It was indeed pretty. It had a nat
ural wave which required no per
manent such as most of the girls
leaded. She had not yielded to the
ashlon and had it bobbed, so it
tumbled, an auburn mass not
thoroughly dry, down her back,
faming her face with ringlets.
There was nothing of prettiness
her face. Patrician possibly,
homely, her nose
mouth full lipped
in size, showing
teeth when she
and her knees were too big. Look
Ing down she realized that her
natural attitude was with toes
turned in. She experimented,
turning them, out: her position
seemed more graceful.
She walked across the room,
watching her feet and legs in tbe
mirror. She could correct her foot
position, but the knobby knees
seemed there to stay. They seem
ed hopeless; with the short skirts
eirls wore it was lmDOssible to
"ms.hide them.
n

and generous
strong white
smiled.
She experimented with the
mile and decided to use it more.
She was more attractive when she
miled than when serious. She
smiled several times to try the
effect.
Her neck was good, slender.
loping into her chest gracefully.
The bones in her chest showed ob-
ectlonabiy. By throwing her
houlders back these disappeared.
however. Here were two things
she could do to taake Iherself
more attractive; throw her shoul
ders back and smile.
She tould see no fault with her
bust. Her stomach was fiat and
her waist slim. Her hips were not
too big and her legs there was
her trouble I They, were too thin
s Recalling Lois silk-clad knees
at the party, she kicked off one of
her shoes, pulled a fawn-colored
stocking up over one leg and look
ed In the mirror. The sheer silk
covered a multitude of knee evils.
She pulled the. stocking to Its
greatest length and put on the cir
cular garter she wore.
The effect was not so good. She
decided to wear a girdle which
would pull the stocking higher
and bring it more smoothly over
her knee. The next stockings
should be extra length, too.
She laughed shamefacedly at
her reflection. Stock-taking of
physical charms seemed immodest,1
but the thought did not alter her
decision. . .
As she dressed she made the lit
tie rhyme:
"snouiaers oactc, mouth in a
smile.
loes turned out, to give me
style!"
She recited the rhyme a time
or two to fix it in her mind, and
then hummed it to a merry little
tune as she dressed her hair be
fore the mirror. Sire experimented.
combing it down sleek and tight
to her head as Lois did. She de
cided her face was not pretty
enough, and let it fluff again.
She changed her mind about
having Lois to lunch today, plan
ning, instead to go down town
and buy a girdle and some long
stockings. She felt Bhe had made
progress In her self-analysis and
might do more studying the wom
en she saw In the streets and
shops.
She pulled a tight little hat
down over her hair, fluffing a bit
of it under the edee. and came
down stairs humming her. little
tune wordlessly, but smiling,
throwing back her shoulders and
turning out her toes.
"Well, of all things!" exclaim
ed her mother. "Girls are crazy!
Here I have been sitting worrying
after your outbursts and you come
down dressed for the street, grin
ning and singing. Girls are cer
tainly a problem!"
Especially to- themselves!"
laughed Betty. "I am going down

morning Betty felt a strange eia-
tion and walked the 15 diocks
Hnwn town, stenoinr in time to
her tuneful rhyme, shoulders back
toes out, smiling steadily.
She met an elderly gentleman
out airing bis dog. As he caught
her eye he smiled good humored

looking after her.
"Was it the smile, the thrown-
back shoulders or Uie unplgeoned

Questions. He was old. but she fell
elated at having attracted his no

She found the girdle she want

shades of 32 inch stockings. With
the small package In her hand she
went window shopping, watching
the women she , met and the ac

times she saw over-painted and

whistle softly at a particularly

Other well-dressed women
caused men to look at them in
frank admiration. These were
fashionably dressed and well

a graceful glide which compared
only with the movements of some
animal of the cat tribe, a puma, a
tiger, or a 4eopard.
Here was spmething she could

grace and figure, a co-ordination

her mind.
Once she looked back' after

of an office building. None of them
were looking at her.
