7 Rules Given As Health Hints It is no secret that this year's glamor girl Is going to be a wellscrubbed and shining beauty. So in making New Years' resolutions, keep in mind that you are going to discard artifical charm for Mother Natures gifts which are at hand for the taking. Here are seven golden rules for 1947, some of which, if observed to the letter, will bring you day-to-day beauty from within that will need less and less artifice from without. 1 Your hair should be fed by proper diet If JTOU keep your body supplied With the minerals, carbohydrates, and proteins needed to maintain Uw health of your skin and hair, you can't help but have beautiful, lustrous hair. Cleanse it thoroughly once a week and when you cant arrange a soap and water shampoo, try one of the dry cleansers. Brush with a clean hair brush every day. 2. If your skin is oily, you'll need more soap and water than your dry-skinned roommates and friends. And if your skin is dry. you will have to use light applicants of dry skm cream after your soap and water scrubbing. Drink noon water, large quantities of milk, and eat green vegetables and watch your skin and eyes sparkle. 3. Eight hours sleep every night is one of the few real eye beautifiers. Those tiny lines and creases underneath and at the corners of the eyes are usually the results of strained, tired eyes. If you get your proper rest, you shouldn't have circles or other tell-tale eyelines to mar your face, and remember, when you are sleeping, there should be fresh air circulating freely in your room. Leave the window open at least an inch or two. Make sure your bed covers are warm enough. And if you want to keep that chin firm and smooth, skip the pillow which can often be counted on to throw your head into a position that will encourage a double chin. 4. Exercise frequently and not Just to the 1-2-3-4 stretch variety Walking is a good sensible way to exercise without too much effort. If you like sports, play tennis, golf and badminton to help whip up circulation to bring the roses to your checks. 5. Make up should be subtle, used only when it is deemed neces-
sary. You don't have to make up to sit home and listen to the radio Take these opportunities to relax and to give your skin a good rest. When you do makeup, however use the lighter shades of rouge and lipstick for daytime wear. Save thfl dark lipstick, rouge, and eye makeup for special glamor dates. 6. Wear clothes that eniphasi/.e the beauty of your figure, colors *hich are flattering to your complexion, and styles which are timeless. Perk up your basic black dresses with glittering accessories. Leave the bright colors to the slender nirls if you are plump. You will look well in the darker shades, particularly if th? lines are simple. 7. Be gay and interesting. Develop a sense of humor. If you can learn to smile, you will never really look old. Be happy and interested in the good fortune of others and you will be loved for your disposition and kindliness and bask in the reflected glow of your charity
STC Alumna Given ASA Annual Award Mrs. Thomas D. Eason was chosen the outstanding alumna of Al- j pha Sigma Alpha for 1946.

Marriage Class Continued from Page 2 able qualities, in order of importance, are economic adequacy, good disposition, equal education, congenial religious views, comparable social status, ambition, sense of humor, appearance, high morals, and congeniality. Other qualities listed include sincerity, understanding, probability of his being a good father, and satisfactory relations with in-laws. Oood health and non-alcoholism were listed only twenty-nine times in all. In compiling this data the class found that, first, most girls will marry for love, but most have a broader definition of love than mere physical attraction. Second, S. T. C. girls desire those qualities in their husbands which have been shown by experience to be most closely correlated with marital happiness. Third, that the Juniors and seniors have, in general, a more mature outlook on marriage than the freshmen and sophomores. Funny though, nobody raised the obvious question. Are husbands really necessary?
