THREE TYPES
OF LONELINESS
The Promenades Which Their
Beauty Glorifies.
Fifth Avenue in New York the Lake
shore I'm Chicago and COnnec-
ticut Avenue In Washington.

The United States boasts three beauty
promenades of special prominence. says
writer in the Chicago Times-Herald.
These are esplanades along which fashion
disports itself in remarkable raiment and
notably on Easter Sunday. They are
placed in New York. Washington and Chi
cago and are named Fifth Avenue Con-
necticut Avenue and Lake Shore Drive.
OF the three the last is incomparably the
handsomest. On one side curl the blue
waters of the lake; on the other Is the
bosky wealth of Lincoln Park. pale green
in the early Spring. On Lake Shore
drive the air Is sharper and better. Sweep
ing over the miles of Lake Michigan it
brings a deeper color to thin-skinned
cheeks. 1t adds quickness to gesture and
silver to laughter. 1t is good for wo-
mems lungs. 1t is good for the lungs Of
men who line the edges of the broad
pathway. 1t helps to disarm criticism.
In looking at and judging a pretty wo-
man the best thing to have is good hui
NOR.
The women who frequent these display
grounds are markedly different in type.
The New York woman will be recognized
as New York woman on State Street. A
Chicago woman is unable to hide her
birthmarks upon Broadway. A Washing
ton woman ought to be known anywhere.
In painting their several portraits it is
necessary to use only coarse brush.
They lend themselves readily to delinea-
ton. Each of the three cities furnishes
individual types of extreme beauty.
Preference is largely a matter of taste.
which itself is matter of education and
early surroundings.
The New York woman is well-built and
Carries herself well. She is apt to be long
legged and has long stride. She Is
taught to hold her shoulders back and her
chin high. She looks straight ahead. and
a gaze that apparently takes in nothing
takes in everything. This has been bred
in her by life in a crowded town-a town
to whose crowd Chicago's crowds are
mere handfuls. She Is graceful, with
cultivated grace that smacks Of Deisarte.
Her hands are large and well formed. as
are her feet. The latter are large because
she does much walking. She Is apt to
be narrow hipped and fiat chested. She
Is big boned, and. If spare Of flesh. the
bones are prominent. Her lower limbs
are thin, but the bicycle has done much
for them. For three generations and more
her waist has been too much pinched.
She is apt to be blonde or an approach to
blonde.
One of the rarest things in New YORK Is
a genuine native-born brunette. By gen.

healthy brunette-surely one Of the most
beautiful women. The New York wOm-
an has a good complexion and, almost
without exception. sound and brilliantly
white teeth. Her mouth Is large, and good
teeth are a necessity. Her eyebrows are
thin. but distinctly pencilled, and her nose
tends to the aquiline type. As general
thing the lips are thin and the ears small.
She Is not a woman in whom the animal
masters the mental. Her manners. when
she wishes them to be, are perfection-re-
fined, gentle, cordial, frank and modest.
The female aristocrat of New Y0rk-and
only aristocrats frequent Fifth Avenue at
Easter-is high bred. Her behavior with
the other sex shows II. There Is nothing
