SUB DEBBDTG IN BEAUTY It's just about the age when young lads firsfc ask to borrow fathen's tuxedo, or snggest that he needs a new one and ihe old one conld be cut down, that young ladies being to want high-heeled shoes and exotie make-up. It's usnally the parents' cue to be decidedly conaervative. In my opinion, however, this */s really the time for both parents and almost-adult children to compromise. No young lady in her ieens wants to go about with a shiny nose, nor does any sensible mother care to see her subdeb daughter looking more sophisticated than a thirty year old screen siren. But there is a middle path, one which will permit fhe daughter to appear wellgroomed and still in good taste. Directors, make-up artists and designers in Hollywood have kept their lands on the public pulse, and they know exactly how far to go along the lines of femimne appeal with such charming girls as Ann Shirley and Deanna Dnrbin, when those young ladies must meet the camera face to face. Simplicity and youth are their greatest charms and must not suffer from artificial decoration. Yet they have the appeaTance of having heen carefully dressed, powdered and comhed. Cleanlihess is a matter of paramount importance to the future crop of debutantes. Their is the age most susceptible to acne, and the' future of their jnltina lies in the care it is given now. Every girl in her teens should wash her face with warm water and soap twice a day. It is her safeguard against skin troubles. Skin and tissne cream will keep her face from chapping and prevent any dry condition that might arise from climate aud exposure. The actual make-up from sixteen to iwenty should consist of nothing more than powder, to prevent that shine which is so destruetive to the pride oi the young lady. Colourless lipstick will keep lips soft and prevent cracking, and in the daytime will be found more becoming to the age than the bright eol®urs. 3Phe .firgt dance, and thqss which eu'

sue, permit milady petite to use just a 5 little rouge and lipstick because artiflcial lights niakc one look pale. Her rouge and lipstick must be chosen according to her colour harinony. Ihe wrong shade of either vouge or lipstick will give an impression that " jeune fille" is painted, whereas if they are nsed lightly and blend perfeetly with her own colouring, she wifl appear natural and naive. The undergraduatc coiffure should Le one that makes no pretenses, and sitggests no gu.il ce. It should be simple &ud »•

suit the type of its wearer so that it will look periectly natural. B'leaclied aud dyed kair are not for the teens. The health and vigour oi youth usually produces hair with its own sheen, but if for some reason the very young girl's hair seems to be dull, she should spray it lightly with brillox. If you have noticed the clotlies worn by the ingenues of the screen you will observe that they are — liko the coiffure — beguiling in, their simplicity. Youth is much too lovely to decto^f, IFitb mundane chavacteius.Ucs?
