when he had grown a little tired ;
of the sport he sat down to rest
and eat his lunch. A rocky cl'ff,

Beauty Resolutions
for Nineteen-Thirty
I
T HAS never been my lot in life '
to have my teacher give me
list of new resolutions to abide i
by without thinking that maybe
teacher needs make some for her
own good. So l am going to start
out to tell my readers that among
my resolutions on behalf of my
I'risdlla friends 1 am going to In
clude in my talks this coming
year a number of personal Inter
views with some of our famous
;iuiy specialist. They may seem
to dil'IVr at limes in their theories
but often we find several roads to
one place, indeed tho ancients
avowed that all roads lead to
Home. So, there are several theo
ries ami practices discovered by
beauty specialists that ultimately
arrive at their goal Heauiy. 'My
chief warning is . . . if you begin
with one theory please carry It out
to its conclusion for though I may
send you to China by way of San
1'YancIscn or in tho opposite til-;
reel Imi through New York and
across the Mediterranean and
around the Kastern Seas, yet In
both cases you will get to China
unless you decide to turn north
befoiv yni reach your destination.
N,ov here we are facing a brand
new year whh all its hopeful pos
sibilities, and in every woman's
heart is the desire for an added
quota of beauty to gladden the
eyes of those she loves as well ns
the satisfaction of knowing that
she had glorified the gifts given
to her by an all-wise law of na
ture. One cannot gain more henuty
however by a quick and easy
road . . . we have many natural
enemies to personal beauty; even
our own dispositions rise up and
menace a smooth skin, n sweet
face, and clear eyes. Anger will
disturb your stomach, prevent !
feet digestion, apd bring about
headaches nnd other Ills. There
fore, one ' really important step
toward beauty is to "keep calm."
Another nnd this is an often
overlooked fact Is the wearing of
comfortable clothes, nnd adequnto
ones for the season and occasion.
Do you know that uncomfortable
Ill-fitting shoes enuso as many
wrinkles as "a woman may 'have?
Or, shivering In clothes that nro
not sufficiently warm for the
weather Impedes the natural func
tioning of some of our most Im
portant secretions? You cannot
have u clear skin nnd silky hair
If the circulation of the blood Is
impeded, or the oil duets nro dried
up, or the sweat glands do not
function. Theso are all ns es
sential to your outward beauty as
tho sap is necessary to the tree.
And then! oh, tho Indiscretions
of eating! No, 1 don't believe In
starvation rations hy any means,
but I do believe that every person
edd enough to select the fond they
eat should give some thought to
what they are putting Into their
bodies.
Again, do you Itnow your body
Is ono of the most perfect of ma
chines? Divinely endowed, It is
true, yet working much the same
as machines that create tho ne
cessities of our rtnlly lives. And
would you permit an expensive,
valuable piece of machinery to
disintegrate through neglect? You
must keep It clean, yoimust use
It, nlve It activity , . . for only
by these steps can you preserve
Its usefulness. This, then, Is true
of your body . . .'the dally bath,
the dally cleansing, tho dally ac
tivity are . of the greatest Impor
tance. Rvery woman has her own per
sonal problem uboitt this question
of dally exercise, yet each woman
can so arrange her home or busi
ness activities ns to combine phys
ical exercise with her essential
duties. The simple act of going
up and down stairs ran he done
In n manner that contributes to
poise and stimulation of blood
circulation.
You can make the common
place action of going out Into the
street, getting on a surface car,
or picking up n parcel, contribute
to the well being of your body. In
stead of the reverse. Tho great
thing Is to make these self-duties
become automatic, it would be a
sinful waste of time to say, "now
I must do this nt elght-thlriy for
my hair, nnd at eight forly-flve
Homethlng else for my eyes," et
cetera, etcetera, but when you
