Beauty and You

by PATRICIA LINDSAY

BOYS MUST GROOM FINGERNAILS

Boys, if you want to catch the best looking girl, you must see to it that your fingernails are mani- cured weekly and kept clean always!

Girls

In a recent letter poll I took (asking girls to list what they liked and disliked about the opposite sex) the answers listed "unclean fingernails," as the one thing which all girls detest about men, of all ages and all personalities!

It seems, my laddies, that broken, dirty fingernails, makes love fly right out of the window if you are married, and they prevent you from getting a good-looking bride if you are not married. In our mother's day the man who drank was taboo. In our grandmother's day the man who smoked was taboo. But in 1939 it's the man with fingernails not manicured, which puts him way down at the end of a girl's preferred list.

Otherwise finitely make you common even the primitive man wouldn't have jumped into the river for a bath and used pointed flint arrows to clean his fingernails and toe- nails.

Of course there is a tendency during the smart-alec age (from fourteen to twenty-one, I would say!) when boys think it is big he-man stuff to go around without ties, dirty fingernails, baggy trou- sers, touseled hair needing a cut, and the sloppiest of shoes. Only sissies, say they, keep themselves nicely groomed. But little do the boys realise that it is during that period of their lives when they the making impressions on girls they meet. By twenty-one they begin to wonder why the girls aren't falling all over them. with ideas of marriage in their pretty heads!
