Every now and then some one writes
an article about the ten or the twenty
or the nifty most beautiful women in
New York. and Invariably the names OF
the poster beauties of society and OF
the stage appear. Because these are the
beauties that advertise.

Probably the Broadway restaurants

know that have seen unknown
faces OF women and girls in street
cars that were much more beautiful
than anything the society or dramatic
pages have to offer. Not long ago in a
Madison avenue car a girl Of perhaps
sixteen got aboard with a giant hatbox
which she was evidently on her way to
deliver to some fashionable woman.
POORLY DRESSED BUT DEZ.
ZLINGLY BEAUTIFUL.
She was very poorly dressed and her
gloveless hands were red and needed
care. But she was the most dazzling
Irish blonde I have ever seen. golden
haired with eyes OF the dark VIVID
blue Of the fr!nged gentian and fuli
yet beautifully chiselled mouth. This
girl would have laughed had anyone
suggested to her that her appearance
might compare with the fair self-adver-
Users of New York's restaurants. but
as a matter Of fact. she was much
lovelier.
But the Broadway type is such an
artist IN advertising. her clothes are

no ono looks. no one cares what her
face Is like. In truth her face Is
often as round and vacaa: and inane as

even the young millionaire grub who
has taken her out to supper and who

creates does not look at her face.

Is that what beauty means TO you?
FACES DON'T SEEM TO COUNT

Maybe you won't be able to find any
