(By Sophie Irene Loeb.)

Some women are born with beauty
some achieve beauty, but none ever
has beauty thrust upon her.
The dictionary defines beauty thus:
AN assemblage of graces pleasing tc
the eye, mind or moral sense" And
the woman who seeks thus to he
beautiful is not to be despised. 1t is
the most natural thing in the world
First, last and always it is absurd
not to recognize the fact that beauty
has power, attraction, influence. Since
the days of Mother Eve, the days ri
salons where beautiful women held
sway, to the present day beauty has
been a dominant factor.
But the standards of beauty are
changing with the times AS prom
inent New York artist said the other
day, Almost every woman can cult
vate beauty. The beauties proclaim
ed such today contain on the whole
the strong character traits of Venus
de Milo rather than the fluffy. eth
ereal, dram-like creature that has Of
ten been painted as the beautiful
type. She is strong in body and
clearly shows the continued use of all
her mental faculties"
This artist has been borne out in
his statement by several poignant ex-
amples. For instance, take Bernhard
the Divine Sarah. No woman has
been called upon to develop her in
tellect more than this remarkable
person. Perhaps therein lies the
secret of the lasting qualities of her
beauty.
That is to say, the woman who is
feminine and nothing else, and does
not gain strength of character, hay-
ing nothing to recommend her except
perchance beautiful eyes and hair,
and has no thoughts to illuminate the
other features that expresses beauty
fades rapidly and later loses out to
her palmer sister with some feature
expressing character.
To be exact, the woman who would
be beautiful through the years is not
always she who is slave to creams
and lotions, but rather to thoughts
and actions. This does not mean one
must be a bookworm or a student %
higher philosophy or a crank on ply.

But rather the moderate sister, wAC

And right here, on the other hand
this matter of adornment-the cloth

much to be considered.

brain, yet the more overwhelming
and practical truth lies In the saying,

CHANGED CONDITIONS
OF LIFE IN THE SOUTH

Washington, D. CIV, July 1S.-One
of the most recent acquisitions to the
summer contingent in the senatorial
set is Mrs. Nathan Philomen Bryan,
wife of the statesman from Florida.
Mrs Bryan was detained at home in
Jacksonville, and she arrived too late
to participate in the pleasant White
House functions at which the neWcom-
corners formed such an interesting
group.
81 am, as it were, studying names
and states and political affiliations as
diligently as though l were taking a
college course" said Mrs. Bryan, "and
find it a fascinating pursuit which
has some dangers. AS for politics, l
never breathe the word except in the
privacy of my room when l cross
question my husband The women at
Washington whom | have met seem
astonishing politicians, but then | am
realizing how much can be learned
just by listening. | have not a deep
interest in women obtaining a voice m
public matters.
My home city, Jacksonville, in
many respects offers parallel sugges-
tons to Washington. 1t is in so many
ways city of transients. Nine months
in the year the streets are filled with
people with all the paraphernalia Of
travel just as here and the vans are
rushing to and from hotels and depots
loaded with trunks. Those who are
not permanent dwellers in Jackson
vile imagine that it is a vast resort,
where tourists from the four quarters
of the earth come to bask in the sun
shine and to admire the glories of the
tropics. | cannot state exactly what
number of strangers visit our city
yearly, but the total makes a big fig
ure. These people are generally just
passers-by going farther south to the
fishing and orange-growing country
Few remain long with us, but so many
come that it seems a mighty army Of
invasion. 1t makes a pleasant and en-
livening feature and gives us a reason
always to look our best, just as the
good housekeeper puts on unusually
skillful touches when she expects com
pany. Jacksonville is one of the love
liest of cities with a picturesqueness
all its own, and yet modern and pro-
gressive in every essential.
In our residential section is all the
space and leisure and air of repose
which is always associated with a
southern town. Our homes are in the
midst of flower gardens and we possess
La delightful climate to raise the most
snowy and satisfactory of roses and
ornamental plants. We have a large

side over for a visit. 1t was genuine
patriarchial hospitality which exists
now only in tradition. After tasting
life in the city, | think the monotony
of rural lifepalls somewhat. The Sout

Southerners seem well satisfied with
their new way of living, and one good
thing which it has produced among
hundreds of others which | might en-
umerate is to cause the roads to be
well taken care of and the general as
pect of the country be made trim and
practical. The farm owners use autos
almost exclusively, and each country
takes vast pride in it's reports on good
roads,"
First Political Experience.
Mrs. Bryan met her husband during
a trip which she made to Jacksonville

quaintance terminated in a wedding
which occurred II years ago at her
home, in Mount Pleasant, in Martin
county, East Tennessee. Mrs. Bryan
is essentially domestic, and disclaims
any sort of fad, besides taking deep
interest in all that concerns her hus-
band. This is the Senator'S first eX-
perience in politics with the trihing
exception that he held the chairman
ship of the Board of Contarol of High
err Education in Florida for several
years before he entered the race for
his present Office.
. Mrs. Bryan possesses a charming
personality and an attractive appear
ance. She is of fair complexion, with
soft golden hair which she wears sim
ply in coronal style. She is yiyacious
and friendly, and will certainly be-
come an immediate favorite with her
associates.

ARE THE STANDARDS
OF BEAUTY CHANGING?

| less, slovenly creature, though she
may have the mind of a mighty mon
arch, it is seldom she holds our IN
terest. We must recognize this fact.
1t is human nature.
In this age, with beautiful wearing
apparel displayed everywhere, there
is no such thing as beauty unadorneG.
However sensible" we may be, we
must realize that clothes play
prominent part in the making
or unmaking of beauty in all strata
of existence.
As Evangeline Booth says in speak
ign of the bread winner. "Of course,
why shouldn't girl, any girl, want to
have nice clothes and look pretty? She
sees it all around her, every minute,
and it's immediate effect. Even though
in her struggles to initiate she may
seem tawdry; she is not to be con-
demned.'
So that, on the whole, it is getting
to be not a conceit, but approaching a
matter of duty to herself and her fell
low creatures for a woman to try 20
make herself as interesting as posi-
BILE. In a word, it may be almost
deemed selfish not to do so.
The days when it was a virtue to be
prim, plain and precise is thing of
the past. There is no reason for the
unattractive daughter of Eve. For
wise Providence has, along with this
evolution, arranged things so that
even very pleasing adornment may
come within the means of each if she
would but wisely discriminate.
Moderation and consideration of self
is the keynote And even though
Queen Mary may dictate long sleeves
and high collars, or Paquin may de-
cree bob-tail skirts and apron effects,
the truly beautiful woman will, both
for brain and eye choose that for
which she is fit and fit into that which
she chooses.

Changed Conditions.
81 was born and reared in Eastern
Tennessee in a region which is as
beautiful and picturesque as any spot
in the world. 1t is a renowned wheat
belt and the farmer is a prosperous
man Whereabouts. The mountain ranges
are filled with cattle and bIooded stock
and it produces as famous specimens
as the more talked of Blue Grass sec
ton of Kentucky. The old Southern
/ families still own their ancestral pos
sessions, but only in rare cases do
they reside at the farms. This condi-
/ ton interferes greatly with the ancient
customs of hospitality, since in the
cities all social intercourse assumes a
more formal aspect The most val
liable wheat lands are divided into
small farms and are managed for
their owners who have moved into the
cities The same is true of its stock
farms. The owners take up other ayo-
cations and keep up their interests at

casional visits | have heard various
reasons for this departure from their
ancient country seats assigned Oy

none seem to touch the real reason

ern life, and has effaced the leisurell

kind. Life was a struggle in the earl!
days after the civil war; and then there
were urgent reasons for men who hat
to seek other employment than afford
ed by the farm not to leave their Wo
men in isolated communities. This
think was the first cause for the South
ern landowners to depart from his fin
