AND THIS is REAL BEAUTY.
An Artist Describes the Cardinal
Points of Pulchritude.


New York, Sept 10.-What are the
cardinal points of beauty?
Albert p. Lucas, one of the most dis
tinguished American painters of por-
traits, undertook to answer the ques-
ton. Mr.. Lucas, who is a pupil Of
Gerome and Herbert, returned not
long ago from Paris, where his pic
lures were features of the salon sew
eral years. His work is represented
in the national gallery at Washington
and his bust, "Ecstase," occupies
place of honor in the Metropolitan
museum.
The essential qualities of feminine
beauty" he said, may, | believe, be
summed up as symmetry, color, length
of line, intelligence, refinement, har-
monious hands and perfect feet.
In many years of study and paint
ing | have seen just one face which
from an artists point of view, | could
pronounce perfectly beautiful ! have
never seen a perfect figure. But l
have used models of all nationalities
and | am convinced the figure of the
American woman most nearly ap-
proaches perfection.
There is pearly Wilderness to the
American skin that | have never
found elsewhere. correctness Of pro-
portion, length of line that even the
famous Italian models do not possess.
The Italians are too heavy in the
limbs, their ankles and wrists lack de-
finition.
Il will not attempt to pronounce be-
tween the merits of the blonde and
brunette types. Each is exquisite in
its way. The one perfect face | have
seen belongs to a blonde, not the
cold, steely variety, but a mellow,
golden beauty with brown eyes. The
brunette with black hair, shading a
warm pallor, is an equally beautiful
type, but is have never seen it in such
perfection.
art knows no nationality, perhaps,
but after years of painting in Paris
from models of all nations, it pleased
me to find on my return to my own
/ country the most beautiful face and
the most perfect figure | have ever
seen. The face belonged to a young
girl who sat to me for a portrait. Her
/ family has been American for 300
years, so she is certainly an American
| type, and yet so classical.
THE nearly perfect figure | speak
of belonged to a young woman who
posed for a picture l call Twilight.
| II is a figure round, suave strong, yet
utterly feminine. You know the out
door sports our women have been 60
ing in for so much tend to mascu-
linize the figures, to square the shout
ders, for instance. While the result
will eventually not be so artistic, |
suppose the hygienic benefit will be
more than compromising.

WE ALL sMUGGLE. SHE SAYS.
Hiding Jewels in Hat Bands Common,
Declares Mrs. Adriance.


New York, Sept. 10.-Nearly every
woman who returns, from Europe
smuggles jewels in with her, accord
ing to Mrs. |. Reynolds Adriance, VINO
was arraigned on charge of having
attempted to smuggle jewels worth
$4,000. Mr.. Reynolds is a million
aire manufacturer of Poughkeepsie.
Il had no intention of smuggling
the jewels" Mrs. Adriance said. But
| had already made out my declara.
ton when | bought the jewels and
saw | would not have time to add to
it before | went to London to take
the ship. So just put the necklace
in my hatband, just as 500 other wo-
men do on every ship that comes in.
The concealing of jewels in hatbands
is quite common trick.
For five years Mrs. Adriance said
she had her eyes on the beautiful
pearl necklace which led to her un-
doing. 1t was in the store of jewel
er in Geneva, The pearls were held
at $4,000. Mrs. Adriance wanted
them for less. Mr.. Adriance said the
price was too much. Year after year
Mrs. Adriance, who has travelled ex,
tensively, went to the shop with the
hopes of getting a reduction in the
price of the string of what she consid.
cred perfect pearls.

Three Drowninqs in Two Years.

With the arrival of autumn weather
and practically the end of the bath
ing and boating season, north Nebras-
ka and southern South Dakota may
look back upon summer that has
been a particularly happy one in its
lack of those tragedies which so often
mar the heat period of the year.
There has been but one drowning in
this whole country during the past
year. that of little Gayl Reed. aged
4, of Norfolk who fell off boat near
his fathers home on the river bank.
And within two years there have been
only three lives lost in northern Ne
braska and southern South Dakota
Besides Gayl Reed the only other two
drownings within two years were
those of the two sons of Anton Hanson
near Creighton, July IS, 1908.

NEW YORK GROWING BETTER.
City Statistics Show Churches Have
Grown Faster Than City.

New York, Sept. 10.-With all the
talk about New York's wickedness fig
ures compiled by the city statistician
show that the percentage of increase
in church membership is greater than
the increase in population in the last
ten years.
Figures for church membership in
Greater New York show that the num-
Der of church members for the five
boroughs is 1,31O,42l. or 372 percent
of the new population figures. In 1900
there were ,233,677 members of Chris
tian churches. This was 1873 percent
of the population.
These figures show that the growth
in church membership is 1853 percent
ahead of the population growth. This
growth, it is estimated, is divided
about evenly between Professionals and
Roman Catholics. At present it is cal
Cuated that there are 440,7S3 Protest
ants to 500, GAS Roman Catholics.
From an economic standpoint there
Is much significance in the figures of
the city budget, which shows that the
percentage of increase III expenses is
about double the percentage of in
crease in population.
The census returns show an in
crease in population of 3S7 percent.
In the same 10-year period, the city
I budget has grown from $90,77S,972 to
1853, 030 ,270-an increase of more than
| "a percent. The increased cost is
partly accounted for, according to the
budget officials, by the widened scope
of municipal enterprise.

which he has conducted into the seri-

which resulted in the shooting of sin

Potter. Major Mauldin declined to

The shooting of the soldiers greatly
stirred the garrison at Fort Fremont.
and extraordinary efforts have been
taken to prevent any of the men leav-

being maintained day n night.
Some of the comrades of the wounds

some have openly made threats against
