~ promoting health and beauty
26o This is the conclusion Of Della
Austrian, who proclaims her discovery In
tho Chicago Tribune In these words:
A visit to the factories in the United
States and abroad, and a careful study Of
the girls found there, reveal the fact that
although many Of these lack in bloom and
care enjoyed by girls Of leisure, this alb
sence Is compensated by strength Of char
acter and an intelligence OF purpose. 1
never had any idea how many pretty girls
are working in factories until l visited
several New England cotton mills and shoe
factories. In Italy, whenever l was in
search of a beautiful girl, made visit
to the silk factories.
Girls who 60 into domestic service and
pass their time busting, washing and
making beds are even comelier Many Of
our best looking girls are found among the
parior maids. A physician told a patient
who asked him how she could retain her
youth and beauty. Dust and make every
bed in the house" They all believe that
housework offers the best kind Of physical
culture. The country lassie always Is
portrayed as being fair but usually they
have not the good looks belonging to the
girl OF the factory. This cannot be the
result OF hard work. because the factory
girl has longer hours and is more closely
confined. It must be because there is a
lack Of purpose and monotony in the life
of the country girl that makes her grow
old before her time. If intelligence and
definiteness Of purpose help to make
women more attractive, then beauty ought
not 10 be rare among those busted with
affairs.
In visiting business offices I often have
been attracted by the good looking girls
employed as secretaries. Did 1 not know
that these positions entail responsibilities
I should be led to believe that these women
were hired for their beauty more than for
their intelligence
Some months ago I was at a summer
resort, where a crowd Of women were
living and they held responsible positions
that took them TO town every day. One
morning a well known man of affairs
grew interested in them and said to his
friend: There's an attractive lot of
girls. They don't look as IL they made
this trip every day and worked all sum-
mer. They certainly are better looking
than most of the girls you see on the
beach and around the tennis courts. How
do you account for it?"
IT'S pretty hard to explain" said the
other man. That's what l asked my sec
rotary a splendid looking girl last week.
She said that she did not know, unless It
was that she enjoyed her work and did
not find time to make mountains out Of
mole hills. Her eyes really sparkle and
her smlle-well, it's better than a tonic.
We all know that many of the beautiful
and attractive girls in the great cities are
seen In the shops. They make an effort
TO appear WELL study how to wear theii
clothes and handling their goods helps to
improve their figure. They wear the most
becoming smiles on their faces and II they
have any cares they guard them we'll. A
beautiful shop girl, speaking of her occu-
patton, says: Yes, love my work those
beautiful textures and wonderful shades
OF color make me so happy. l never Sc,

I wore a gown made OF the material.

musician gets from sound"
Many people in Europe, and in England
more, especially, are engaged in Horticulture
