QUALITY OF ATTRACTivENESS
PASSES FOR BEAUTY.

What often passes for beauty. what
practically all men save artists mis-
take for beauty, and what many artists
prefer to beauty Is "A quality of at
tractivoncss which every woman pos.
sesses in some measure and some
women possess to the verge OF carica-
ture. But Beauty--the beauty of the
Venus OF MILO or MacMonnies' Diana

HOPE FOR HEARST'S HELP
Third Termers Think He Should
Support Roosevelt.

From a staff Correspondent % The Trionne' }
Chicago, Aug. 6.-COlonel Roosevelt
managers profess to have no knowledge
of the rumored purpose Of William X.
Hearst TO support the Third Term party
and its candidate in the approaching CAM
paign. but il is obvious thai they sincere
" hope 10 receive the support OF the New
York newspaper publisher. Indeed, they
ask how he can help supporting party
whose platform will provide for SO many
things which he has advocated and con-
denim so many things he has condemned.
Then. too. the recent signed editorial
in which Mr. Hearst demanded that the
Democratic candidate repudiate many.
perhaps most. OF the planks In the plat
form Of his party is pointed to as evil
donce that ne cannot logically support
Wilson. while il is remarked that in
numerous editorial utterances nc has
clearly Indicated his opposition to Presi-
dent Taft.
Under these circumstances II is con-
tended that Mr.. Hearst and his various
publications cannot logically do otherwise
than support ;hc third party candidate
and there is evidently a belief that his
support will be well worth having.
