Two years ago there were two girls--friends--who lived in the same town. Both wanted husbands. The girls were equally attractive, and had there been any eligible young men around, neither would have had any trouble landing one. the case in so many small towns, there was a scarcity of eligible, young men. One of the' girls (we'll call her Sue) after giving the matter considerable thought, decided to do something about- the situation before she got any older.

So she gave up her job, kissed her family and her comfortable home good bye, and went to a nearby big city where she got a job. On that first job, she found she wasn't meeting any- more eligible men than she had met back in Po dunk, so she looked around until she found one that was better from that of view. Next, she realized that her social life would be pretty cramped and spinsterish as long as sht lived in a woman's hotel, with no place to entertain. So she teamed up with another attractive girl and rented rn apartment. Then she put her mind to entertaining the people she met through her work and the few social contacts she had made.

Mary, the other girl, just as- anxious as Sue to be married, lacked Sue's get-up-and-get. She is still living in the same small town, working at the same dull job.

GLORIFYING YOURSELF System takes the "suffer" out of the old adage about one having to suffer to be beautiful, especially where that all-important point, grooming, is So why not try to map out some kind of regimen allowing time for exercise, cleansing and grooming? First, set aside evening a week for self-glorification. It's fun, and every woman deserves at least that much personal care.

It will give her a real lift and a good start on her beauty program, so that thereafter the dajly routines will be performed more quickly and easily. If -your hair isn't attractive unless washed and waved once a week, try a special device for getting to the beauty shop regularly. A standing appointment may suffice.

She knows how important it ta to keep everything she wears, from underwear to topcoats, scrupulously clenn and carefully pressed. She uses a deodorant or anti-perspirant regularly, and she sets aside just ten minutes--but ten minutes of every day--for exercise.
