Last Conference Given by Miss Helda Saturday Morning
"Appearance is one way to express your personality." Miss Mauri Helda, chairman of the personal appearance program of Stephens college and former Power's model, told University women in Fraser theater Saturday morning. Miss Helda's talk on "Do's and don'ts of Dress and Manners" was the last in the conference series on "personality for Successful Living."
"Personal appearance improvement is not an end in itself, but a means to enable one to meet daily experiences successfully," asserted Miss Helda. Looks will slip into the background when a woman has acquired the ability to make the most of herself, she said.
"Etiquette is really a matter of being kind and considerate, but knowledge of what to do helps to give one command of the situation," the speaker said.
Miss Helda stressed health, cleanliness, and good posture as basic factors in a good appearance, and suggested that college women should be more careful to get proper rest.
"Being well-dressed is not a matter of money but of intelligence," the speaker emphasized. "Follow the rule of subtraction in using accessories."
Betty Jo Eeverly introduced Miss Holda. Techniques of dress, makeup, and hair styling were demonstrated with the help of Marilyn Carlson, Nancy Goering, LaVerne Keeven, and Patricia Glover.

Battleships, cruisers and other units of the fleet were notified of the enemy's maneuvering by patrol planes soaring over the front. Immediately the men of war brought their naval rifles to bear.
