Beautiful women are a staple of Ken

clusion, and feels an aggrieved surprise at
any deviation from the generally accepted
law-fine women, fine horses, fine whisky,

the linking OF the three may be all but a
profanationl
Yet the focusing of all these goodly
things is found best in one wide, fertile
spot-the Blue Grass region. SO, at any
rate, her people think. An unhandsome
Blue Grass woman is an anomaly.

while her sumptuous hair, when unbound,
falls about her in a veritable golden
shower. The contour of her face is slightly
Romanesque. Another charm belonging
to her IS a rich meZzo-soprano voice. Both
