1T is often said that an outsider can
not meddle in the heart throbs of two
other people. and that only those who
love know what is best for them But
therein lies a fallacy.
Never did see any one who thought
she was as much afflicted with this love
disease as Mary. and the cure 1 pre-
scribed was as effective as it would be
in most cases of the same malady. But
I'll tell you more when l have intro
duced you to Mary.
Mary was the loveliest type of
American girl to draw that one can only
imagine. Not the up-to-date, fsfdish
creature who looks like ten thousand
others of her Sex, but the kind Of girl
whose ancestors from Puritan days
handed down a clean-cut blonde beauty,
SO that to look at her one felt sure of
her sweetness and womanliness.
But fate arranged a bitter drausht
to mar her serenity. For one day at a

affections. His ardent pursuit in true

while the AFFAIR with the foreigner
was going on, Mary's widowed mother,
who was still a young woman, became

in British Columbia, where they planned
to make their home. Mary absolutely
refused to leave the Austrian to go

RACE is at once q supremely
intangible and a supremely
II real attribute of beauty.
Though grace and a good fig
ure are not inseparable. their comoina-
ton is almost irresistible. Grace makes
an especial appeal to male connoisseurs
of feminine beauty. A man often finds
a graceful, well-formed woman attrac-
tive, even if her face is without classic
loyeIincss. So, as every woman is de1
sirous OF possessing the beauty that will
be admired ~ men (whatever she may
saw to the contrary, it behooyes her TO
give serious consideration to the art OF
grace.
TIE graceful woman is primarily the
poised woman. By "poise' l do not
mean stiffness. but rather complete
control Of the body in repose or In ac-
ton. Probably the finest examples of
poise the world has ever known were
not women at all, but men-the attn
leteS of Greece.
But there is no reason why the mod
crn woman should not be we'll poised.
Her clothes are not the hindrance they
once were For several years the most
fashionable women OF Paris, the women
whose costumes are copied everywhere,

er believed in them, and neither do |. In
fact, / have never worn a pair in my
life. and I think all young girls should
be trained to do without STAYS.
If a girl Is taught from the time she
is child to hold herself erect. she will
not need artificial stiffening. The mus
cles OF the torso and abdomen grow
weak and faccid only when they are
given no work to do. That is why il is
so much easier to do without corsets II
you have never depended on them II
you have not to accustom yourself TO
doing without them.
The supremely graceful figure must
be the uncOrsetcd figure, the body which

lightly and easily as a wood anemone.
l do not mean that admire the woman
who is what Americans call sloppy" 4"
The graceful woman Is flexible, but re-
stlience underlies her heXibility.
There is one excellent exercise for a
graceful neck and shoulders. Standing
drect, with the shoulders thrown well
back, bend your head in a slow, steady
movement, first to the left shoulder,
then directly in front then to the right
shoulder. and then backward Be sure
to keep the shoulders down during this
exercise. 1t gives suppleness and poise
to shoulders and to head.
Finally, never even in complete pri-
vacy, allow yourself to assume awk-
ward attitudes. You must always prac-
tice grace.

Much newer and far-reaehing. even.

something that Miss Tyler declares
many women would like to do but no
one yet has had the courage to begin.
Miss Tyler has taken her courage in
both hands, and mas declared that she
intends always to tell her own age.
She told me all about her new idea
when she was in Washington last week.
having come over with her husband, r.
d. MacLean, to make flying visit
to her home in Biltmore street, before
going to New York to begin rehearszis
with William Faversham for the OPEN

This play is to be produced by Mr.
Faversham. with Miss Tyler in the role

promised she will give an entirely new
conception Of the lady-in-waiting to

Wants Every woman To
Tell Her Right Age.
Miss Tyler does not advance a joke
when she declares that she believes the
time has come when every woman
should tell her age without lying
about It,
/ told her that it was impossible. No
woman could be coaxed or frightened
into telling the truth on this subject
Il know it SCENT like an impossible

The suggestion was made that no |
one would believe a woman even III
she did tell her real age.

finally be triumphant. The only thing |
necessary is leader, and I am going

So now it is "Odette Tyler. founder

The idea come to Miss Tyler right
here in Washington. She was being
interviewed. and something was said 4
about plays of years ago. Miss Tyler
mentioned an old one she had seen. and
her interviewer commented on the fact
that she must be mistaken, since she
must have been child in pinafores
AT the time the play was produced
She informed her interviewer that she
was an actress even at that time, and
