AND I USED TO BE SUCH A SAUSAGE IN THIS DRESS Look at the Fat I've Now you can slim down your face and figure without strict dieting or backbreaking exercises. Just eat sensibly and take 4 Marmola Tablets a day, according to the directions. Marmola Tablets have been sold to the public for more than thirty years. More than _ twenty million boxes have been distributed during that period. Marmola is not intended as a cure-all for all ailments. This advertisement is intended only for fat persons who are normal and healthy otherwise and whose fatness is caused by a reduction in the secretion from the thyroid gland (hypo-thyroidism) with accompanying subnormal metabolic rates. No other representation is made as to this treatment except under these conditions and according to the dosage as recommended. We do not make any diagnosis as that is the function of your physician, who must be consulted for that purpose. The formula is included in every package. Start with Marmola today and win the slender lovely figure that is rightfully yours. Courage, a Heart— and Brains Continued -from page 64 straight back to the crown of your head, twirling the ends into curls, and catching the hair at the crown with a big, perkybow of ribbon ; or you might like a little one of velvet ribbon, with ends trailing the length of your long bob. Any change in your hair-do may revolutionize the type of hat you wear, and make you altogether different and refreshing. When you get to your face, there is just so much and no more that you can do. You might routine skin care, and thereby, in a short time, see a much clearer, finer skin. If you have a short nose, a young face, try your rouge high up on your face, almost under your eyes, and see if you don't make an impression for radiance. Then over your eyelids, spread a clear oil or cream to make them shine — and your eyes look like stars. This is a great Hollywood trick with the younger players. Try, too, that new fountain-brush to give you cinema lips, so perfectly outlined, so clear, so soft that your mouth will pass for pretty, regardless of its natural merits. I am afraid at this season figures are definitely a matter of concern. You probably know plenty about corrective exercises and diets, or if you don't I'll be glad to send you a very sensible little book. Of course, both exercises and diets take a little time to work, so since we're in the dumps now, let's do something that shows immediate results. So — stand up, weight on both feet, and slowly move yoUr relaxed arms until the thumbs are slightly back of your hipbones. Can you feel a difference in posture? Then look in your mirror and see it. One of the Hollywood training tricks, this, for good posture. Maybe you wish you were taller, so you could wear clothes with the swish of a mannequin. "Carriage and posture are most important if you would appear taller," says Anna Neagle, who knows the queen role well and how to assume the queenly character. Miss Neagle further adds that a lifted chin, squared shoulders, and a straight back take advantage of every inch of you. See the difference this makes, too. When you do your utmost — or upmost — with this posture, you may find your figure isn't so out of sorts, after all. So — up on your toes ! Consider, piece by piece, the rest of you : hands, nails, legs, and feet. Right now, you'll feel better about your feet if you toss off your shoes, arch them slowly and rotate them slowly several times from the ankle. You might also check up on these points : are your legs perfectly groomed for those sheers? Are. your toes pedicured as carefully as your fingertips ? Are your black suedes brushed to freshness and are the heel lifts in perfect condition? It's not time for Spring yet, but brighten up the remainder of your Winter wardrobe. Maybe a bright wool jacket to wear over the black crepe, a dazzling new color in a tiny hat to wear with the black coat, or maybe a lovely new belt to make a new frock out of an old one. Or you might find a pastel wool frock just the thing. Whatever you do now, do It with color in mind, and do it because you like the color. As lovely Gail Patrick once said to me, "I wear red because it makes me happy." A definite taste for a definite reason. If your courage is working now, take heart. Indeed, do something with your heart. And I don't mean wearing it on your sleeve. However, you will find that responsiveness is one of the greatest charms any girl may possess. And responsiveness means kindred feeling — an answer to the invitation. So many people show this quality long, long after you've thought you knew them, and it is always a pleasant surprise. Don't hide your light too far from sight. At least, go half the way in meeting another. The natural ability to do this gives you a surer reputation for charm than any one thing I know. Emotion, pure and simple, when controlled, is that gift, individual in every person. When uncontrolled — well, you know all about that. It's emotion that makes your smile, not merely the stretching of the lips. It's emotion and feeling that give you the ability to excel in and add something beyond to your own special forte in life. You can feel this when Deanna Durbin sings, when Ginger Rogers dances, and when Victor McLaglen gets good and mad on the screen. You have a heart, so use it in the right place. Don't be too brittle. And brains, too. These we scatter over a multitude of things, and have a very good Olivia de Havilland's kid sister makes good! Joan Fontaine plays Laurence OlFvier's bride in the film made from the best seller, "Rebecca." This is the role which all the beauties of Hollywood coveted. Joan won it with her fine acting in "The Women. 94 SCREENLAND
