\ BLACK IS BEAUTIFUL Hi! Anyone lucky enou th to have had the chance to meet the charming Miss Black America {Miss Gloria 0. Smith) will agree that she is the perfect example of all the qualities that today's lady should possess. Her lovely appearence enhances her personality and intelligence.

Remember to feature boots with this length in a coat. Today's fashions have very little hanger appeal, and you can't really tell how it's going to look on you without trying it on.

THE REFERRAL SALES RACKET Referral sales schemes are a deceptive gimmick used by many door-to-door sales outfits as a means of inducing people to purchase often unnecessary products at outrageous prices. The referral were tired of them. Today we all are confused .... ! still say thatwomen are safer with the styles that fit their personality and shape. I have heard people say that anyone can wear the mini ... not true ... and the same goes for the rest of today's fashions ... including the see-through blouse if you have nothing to see. My point is this: Wear what you please, but remember that you might not be pleasing the people that are the closest to you and who care about you.

The buyer will often reply, "It certainly sounds good, but I just can't afford it • II The salesman will say, "That's the beauty of this plan. You may not have to end up paying anything!! We will give you a $10 commission for every person whose name you give to us who agrees to speak to me and hear my sales pitch. They don't have to buy anything.
