"I don't object to cosmetics when they are used in moderation. Per sonally, I have never used anything but powder. The skin is healthier and prettier when it has its own natural glow, as it will have if it is given half a chance. As for bobbed hair—I ap prove of it for those to whom it is be coming. "Do you like dancing?" Her eyes sparkled—"I adore it. When not overdone, I think it is a healthy exercise. "No, she replied to the next question, "I don't like the Charleston, it is tiring. "I have no beauty rules, only," she added, "I don't keep late hours, I try to get nine hours sleep every night, I get plenty of exercise, I eat heartily, but not between meals. I work hard, and try to entertain only the highest thoughts. To all gills I would say: "Keep your thoughts clean, for clean thoughts radiate happiness in the face."
