What Makes Pretty Girl?

There never yet has lived the woman
who did not crave beauty. Some girls
are not made actively unhappy by the
lack of it; Others really suffer.
More consciousness comes from
painness than from beauty.
The beauty grows to take her good
looks as matter of course, but the
plain girl is always thinking miserably
how ugly every one thinks me-
As Il matter of fact, expression is the
greatest Of all beautihers, as well as
uglitiers.
A girl may have quantities of golden
hair pink cheeks, regular features but
if she has silly, self-satisfied express
sion, no one will consider her beautiful
Or a girl may have very few claims
to regular beauty but be glorlhed by
Il beautiful expression of face, and every
one viii think her lovely.
1t is sweetness, goodness and intelli-
gence that make the highest type OF
beauty. Those qualities last much lon
ger than colorIng; the older their possess
sor grows the more lovely she VIII
become.
There are many ways in which you can
improve Yourself, if you wish to become
better looking.
Take your figure. for example If you
are fiat chested and round shouldered,
take simple exercises and develop the
one and straighten the other defect.
Hold your head up; don't poke it for
ward. If your hair is lanky and oily
wash it frequently and dress it becom-
ingly.
Don't sit down, tamey, and whine:
ooh, I'm so hopelessly ugly" but do
your best to improve yourself.
If you have a sallow skin, choose your
colors carefully; let them be clear, not
dull and cloudy and see that your eyes
and clothes match. Blue won't so with
brown eyes. nor brown with blue. With
gray, you can wear either.
Remember that a peeyish expression
will mar your looks more than anything
else.
If you strive to make yourself agree
able and obliging, you won't think much
about your looks; but other people will
soon find that you have very sweet
nature, and that it is reflected in your
face.
And they'll like you and they won't
stop to think about your pretty or plain
face; they'll merely know that there is a
beautiful soul shining through your eyes,
beatrice Fairfax.

PUT SPIDERS IN
HIS ROQUEFORT

PARIS, April l6.-Audre Laturbe, a
young Partisan. who thought he had
solved the problem Of living at other
peoples expense, was arrested today
for most ingenious fraud.
His method was to go to fashion
able restaurant and dine well. When
he got to the cheese stage he produced
from his pocket little tin box full
of spiders. To execute a couple of
spiders on the plate from which he was
eating his cheese was the work of an
instant Then he called the waiter and
protested loudly against the flthiness
Of supplying food with spiders in 1t.
On the arrival of the manager he pro
tested still more loudly and the ruse
| invariably ended by the distracted
manager hushing the thing up by in
viting the outraged customer to take
a glass Of old brandy and rendering
profuse apologies. OF course, the
waiter was instructed to present no
bill
But Laturbe, in choosing a restaurant
where he had not been before, hap
pened to pick out one that employed
a waiter who had seen his trick at
another establishment. This man quiet
ly sent for the police, and when La
turbe had been arrested and was
searched the box of spiders was found
in his pocket.

WAIKIKI
TO ROSE CARNIVAL
Paul de Longpre Turned Down a
Flattering Invitation to
Come Here.

The presence of Paul de Longpre in
Honolulu at this time is as sincere a
compliment to Hawaii as man could
pay, because to come here he was OBJ
| liged to refuse an invitation sent him
by the committee in charge of the
great Rose Festival of Portland, who
wished him to be one of the three
guests of honor during the festival
week in that city. The other two espe-
cially invited to Portland are James
Wilson, secretary of agriculture IN
President Taft 5 cabinet, and Luther
Burbank, the wizard.
NJ. de Longpre, however, having only
! limited time to spend in vacation
this summer, could not see that Port
land offered the attractions for him in
an artistic, a climatic or a pleasure
seeking way that Honolulu did. even
when lac could be a guest of honor with
a secretary of the United States and
the horticultural wizard. Consequently
he is now at the Seaside with his wife
and youngest daughter, taking his daily
seabath and reveling in the delights of
having time to spare at Waikiki.
The celebrated artist is looking ex-
tremely well, although he states that
he has had plenty of hard work to pull
him down since he was last in Homo
lulu, He is enjoying himself thor
