THE thrilling baritone of Nelson Eddy reaches out to you, quickening your heartbeat. Romantic, handsome Tom Waring closes your eyes in secret dreams. Frank Parker sings and you long to know and speak to him. Abe Lyman lifts his baton and sweeps you off into a land of make believe with the magic of his music.
But in that land of make believe, how do you picture yourself? As
the girl you really are or as the heroine in a book of fiction? And how much difference is there between you as you really are and as you picture yourself?
Probably the difference is so big, it doesn't occur to you to try and make yourself over. That is your mistake. If you want dates, if you seek popularity, if you want men to call you, to come and see you, then you should learn what they expect of you and what they don't like about you.
That is why I have gone to ten of radio's most attractive bachelors, men wealthy in good looks and in actual bank balances, and have asked them what they would seek first in a girl and what faults would be most apt to turn them away. Virtues and faults which are within your reach and which can be eliminated, if you really want to make yourself into the kind of a girl most men admire.
Their answers represent the desires, likes and dislikes of the most attractive men, men who have found success and, through experience, know what they want most. Here they are speaking their minds for your benefit. Check up on yourself. It's the chance of a lifetime really to hold a mirror up to yourself and, having examined, go out and face

the world of men, secure in the knowledge that you have a darn good idea of how to attract them.
"In ten easy lessons" — one really — see how you can double your popularity in your own circle, wherever you may live, and make your life happier since you can free yourself of nagging fears and doubts as to how to act where men are concerned.
The young men I questioned, Nelson Eddy, Frank Parker, Abe Lyman, Vincent Lopez, Jerry Cooper, Jimmy Farrell, Henry King, Tom Waring, Richard Himber and Igor Gorin, agreed almost to a man on what they would prize most in a girl and what they'd object to most. The first thing they would expect of a girl is so small, such a detail, that many of us are apt to overlook it. But it should serve as a lesson in how observant most men actually are to points we think of as too minor to be worth worrying over. These ten radio bachelors warn you, "Always keep the seams of your stockings straight."
Next, and this may surprise you — it did me — when you are out on a date, don't disregard your father's and mother's orders. The man you're with might try to talk you into staying out later than you were told to, but he'll respect you more if you refuse to listen to him. That's what Nelson and Tom and Frank and Abe and Igor and the rest of them told me.
Here's something else very surprising, but it is a pleasant surprise. The next time you're challenged, just refer to what these bachelors say. They all agree that a girl has a perfect right to demand that her escort be a good dancer. Score that up as one for your side.
