Making faces Scowls leave wrinkle-scars, and frowns make you frumpy — so look pleasant, please, for prettiness! Cass Daley, Number One radio and movie face-maker, warns against the squints' and scowls that make you look less than your very best. CASS DALEY, radio comedienne, has more funny faces than Toscanini has overtures. And because her funny faces help fatten the fat check she gets for convulsing night club audiences and radio listeners, Cass is more than normally interested in how you and I look in our off-guard moments. What she knows about seeing us as we seldom see ourselves is not flattering. The fact is that we all make faces which smother any good looks we may have. If you play the game that Cass plays and watch women in restaurants, on the street, in social gatherings, you'll be amazed at the long list of unconscious habits and facial mannerisms. You'll see the girl with the lined forehead who can't go five seconds without frowning. Another distorts her face by biting her lips. There's the girl who'd hate to be caught staring vacantly into space, her mouth wide open. Some people can't even eat without going through facial gymnastics. And of course you know the girl who makes a terrible face every time she adjusts her glasses farther up her nose. The girl who habitually squints is probably fooling only herself. She needs glasses but foolishly thinks her squinting is prettier. Lighting and smoking a cigarette can be done without making a face but too few women know it or do it gracefully. Then there's the girl who is too an Radio Romances Home and Reality imated. In a mistaken effort to seem vivacious, she overworks her face. There's the girl who pushes her cheek out of place when she leans her face on her hand. And the one who can't apply powder without pushing her face around. The girl whose eyes close whenever she smiles should practice smiling with lower jaw relaxed and slightly dropped to help prevent deep lines from developing around her eyes. An habitual dead-pan expression is just as bad as the face that works too much, so the ideal to strive for is a soft, relaxed look. A few sessions in front of your mirror can help you eliminate mannerisms and "funny faces" which all of us have in our offguard moments. This way you'll end up looking your prettier self more of the time.
