The English ideal is tall and slender.
Miss Leila Paget, partly English and
partly American, and Miss Gladys Dea-
con are both of that type. The head
is small and we'll oised, as, for ex-
ample, the head of Lady Curzon and
of her sister, the countess of Suffolk,
who is remarkable for her height. the
length of her neck, and for her beau
tiful little head. well set upon her
slender shoulders, which, though slim,
are wide and elegantly proportioned.
This isn't England's first contest of
this sort. Once upon time Louis XII,
designing to learn the handsomest wo-
man in England, offered a prize for a
portrait of the handsomest of his sub
jects. Two led the contest. One was
milkmaid, who, with butter bowl in
hand, wandered through an orchard.
The other was a court favorite. Clothed
in cloth of gold and gold lace-which

FASHIONS PHASES

When first / whispered words of love,
When first you turned aside to hear,
The winged griffin flew above,
The mammoth gayly gamboId near;
l wore the latest thing in skins,
Your dock-leaf dress had just been
men-cd
And fastened up with fishs fins
The whole effect was really splendid.
Again-we wandered by the Nile.
In Egypt's far, forgotten land,
And watched the festive crocodile
Devour papvrus from your hand.
Far off across the plain we saw
The trader urge his flying camel;
Bright shone the scarab belt you wore,
Clasped with a sphinx of rare enamel.
Again-on Trojan plain l knelt;
Alasi in vain | strove to speak
And tell you all the love Il felt
In more or less Homeric Greek;
Perhaps my helmet strap was tight
md checked the thoughts l fain would
utter,
Or else your robe of dreamy white
Bewildered me and made me stutter.
Once more we change the mise-en-scene;
The white road curves across the hill:
Excitement makes you rather plain.
But on the whole l love you still,
AS wreathed with wells and goggles blue.
And clad in macintosh and leather
Snug in our motor built for two
We skin the Brighton road together.

Delights of an
Average Duke

| The duke Of Alderney and Jersey sat
in his library calculating the total OF
numerous bills before him, when
timid knock sounded on the door. He
bade the visitor enter and an American
girl came shyly in. Without rising he
waved her to a chair. He had seen her
at various social functions during the
London season. but had scarcely given
her a casual thought, as no rumors of
her available wealth had reached his
ears. She was in tremor of anxious
trepidation and did not speak.
"Well?" he said, after waiting half
minute for some explanation of the in
opportune visit. "Well?"
II beg your grace's pardon" she
said, rising and approaching him; II
have come to ask the hand of your son,
Reginald, in marriage"
"Um-er,'' he frowned, hesitating;
succeed to the title some day. His wife,
will be a duchess"
Yes, your grace, but I love him and
he loves me. He told me So" she hur-
ried on, trembling. but with courage.
Twill you give your consent?"
"Tut tut. young woman!" protested
the duke. Love is an antique. There
are modern considerations of more i'm
portance. Can you support him in the
style to which he has been accus-
tomed?"
The haunting fear went out of her
eyes. The clouds rolled by. The sun
shine irradiated her face. She was her..
self again.
"Oh, yes, your grace" she cried joy
ously. IT have a million dollars year
income"
The duke sprang to his feet. scatter
ing the unpaid bills to the several
winds of heaven and the other place.
That's the stuff, my dear young
lady," he exclaimed, taking her by the
hands. "Of course you have my con-
sent, also my blessing and my thanks.
If you can pay his bills it's more than
! 1 can do Blessings on you'll"
| She didn't wait for details. Joyously
confident she ran out of the library
to her automobile. where Reginald
waited impatiently, grabbing up
ducal coronet she found in the grand
hallway to be sure she could show
something for her money.

VANILLA CULTURE IN HAWAII
Experiment That May Mean Much to
the Islands

From The World Today.
The vanilla plant is grown in Bour-
bon on the east coast of Africa, in the
Seychelles islands, Tahiti, Fiji and
Mexico. The Mexican vanilla bean is
the best and the Tahitian the poorest
product, the former fetching from 81 to
500 a pound, while the latter does not
bring more than half dollar a pound
in the market.
E. H. Edwards, a planter of long ex-
perience in the Seychelles islands, while
on a trip to Hawaii. was impressed with
the suitability of the region near Kona
to the culture of vanilla, and deter
mined to introduce the plant. Going to
the Fiji islands he brought back about
II, 900 cuttings, but one-fourth of these
died on the way to Hawaii, from being
placed in the hold instead of on the
deck of the steamer. Though the cost
of labor in the Hawaiian islands is
high, as compared with that in other
countries in which vanilla is produced.
the bean can be marketed at about $1.50
per pound. AS vanilla of the quality
grown in Kona fetches $5 pound on
an average and an acre yields from $50
to 300 pounds the crop is highly profit
able.

mostly young matrons, for in England
the unmarried woman is still a girl,
hardly worth considering from social
standpoint until she is married. and,
in the contest, the votes are about
evenly divided between American and
English matrons. At one time the de-
cision stood like this:

Who pauses, and thereby wins fame,
A vast inheritance to claim,
But keeps on dancing just the same?
The chorus girl.
Who calmly shows a courage rare?
The chorus girl.
Who rescues people here and there?
The chorus girl.
Who in brave deeds finds so much bliss
That Joan of Arc, compared to this,
Is but shy and shrinking miss?
The chorus girl.
Who smiles whene'er such things she
reads?
The chorus girl.
Who's most astonished by the screeds?
The chorus girl.
And who as homeward she doth go,
F;xclaims, with just a tinge of woe,
my! Don't I wish these things were so?"
The chorus girl.

Just between you and me I'll tell you
the secret. All the manuscripts sent in
keep. 1 answer the contributors and
tell them the stuff will be used as soon
as available. That makes them sub
scribers for life. e.'-Indianapolis Star.
