when the sun is high because the refraction of light off the water is so intense; I wait until around 4 o'clock. If I do have to stay alone while the others swim, there's always a good book to read, or just time to relax. And real friends don't tease; they respect your problem. No one could be more the athlete, the outdoor type than Lex Barker, but when we go to the beach together he swims when he wants to and doesn't object when I swim later. As for clothes, I don't believe a redhead is limited in colors; she must be more selective about shades and quantities of colors she wears, however. It's fatal for her to wear too many colors at once, but no one should, if she wants to be chic. A redhead should plan a harmonious color scheme to accent her hair and complexion. I count myself fortunate in having learned some of this very young. My mother had the same coloring I have, and excellent taste. When I was quite small and we went shopping if I wanted some dress she knew wasn't right for me she would never say "No, you can't have that," but would explain why it would not be becoming to me. Later I studied color and fashion design which made me even more aware. At the age of 8 I started modeling clothes in my home city of Minneapolis — that was for fun and charity — and much later I modeled commercially, learning more about fashion and color. But every girl who reads can learn from magazines! It's my feeling that redheads can wear green, purple, red and pink — just about any color — but more becomingly if these colors are accents. I truthfully prefer black, brown, navy or deep burgundy for basic colors with the brighter or lighter colors in "touches." One of my favorite daytime outfits is a navy wool suit with which I wear a lipstick red scarf which just shows a bit at the neckline of the suit jacket and a French sailor-type navy blue beret with a red and navy band. I think a redhead can wear that much red. She can also wear pink, if it's a light shell pink and if her skin has a pinkish tone. If her skin is more champagne she should go in for light coral shades. But this isn't meant to be a fashion advice story, so let's get back to the other traditions. Men seem to have a motto about females that goes, "By their hair shall ye know them," and they seem to believe redheads are "hot little numbers." That, of course, is silly, but it presents a problem. Not insurmountable, however. Because of this male attitude it means that our slightest word, glance or action can be misconstrued. So, it's up to the red-haired girl to establish the fact that she isn't going to accept the slightest smattering of disrespect. And how she is treated does depend on the girl. Such demand for respect can have the added advantage of taking a man by surprise — which is a handy weapon. I remember doing that with one "Hollywood wolf," who naturally will remain nameless. A couple, who are my friends, Look your prettiest — feel your loveliest in Drexel 60 gauge beauties . . . the mirage sheer stockings with the long life expectancy.
