Beauty or Style ?

Eyes, she's pretty. but she's short on

That's a straight tip, take my word for
TT, and, by the way, I've got date with
"a perfect peacherino, so by-by."
He's right, I'm sure. but the leading
feminine question of the day neverthe-
less IS whether style or beauty gives
more distinction to a woman. There
is much prettiness In every commu-
nifty. but the prettiest woman OF them
all is apt to be miles removed from
beauty Beauty is like genius-one
to a generation or less.
But to come back to our original
proposition, whether prettiness with
out style is the equal of style without
prettiness.

Even on Indictment days the girl of
today wants to look her best She
does not wear any old hat and froclS

herself from head TO foot in costume

It is now her custom to save her
good and expensive fish net wells for
dry weather so on wet days she wears
a close face veil Of deep rose pink
chiffon and over this thin veil OF
gray sewing silk
These are snugly pinned over her
