Cupid artistically matched off the

Only q little while ago the society

The gallant skipper compromised
the suit for $1,000 or so Just before he
| married another girl who consoled
him for his breach with Miss Macfar-
lane
Two years ago calm seas and the
summer moon DER the Pacific led to
the engagement of Miss Macfarlane
and the skipper. Two months passed
and blitheIy they went to the mar
rage license bureau. But the bride
elect disclosed divorce papers which
shocked the skipper and he pinned his
loves mitten to the license.
Then Miss Macfarlane sued. The
skipper fought and when he had his
say he settled. His fractured romance
was soon repaired with another love.
The portrait painter then entered
the scene and willy Cupid gathered in
the remaining ends Of the shattered
romance Of the sea.

San Francisco Athletic Women Refue Eastern Experts
Origin Of Wrinkles

Athletic or beautiful? Or can it be
both?
Championship or charm? Or are
they compatible?
Must women give up their beauty
to win cups at golf, tennis. horse
shows or on the water7
One Doctor Shaw of London has
started the question by declaring that
hardened faces and yet again
more wrinkles" come to the woman
of athletic habits, which must destroy
her looks.
He has aroused storm of criticism
In reply. He is fatty contradicted by
physical culturists, golfers. women
who ride. women who walk and
women who play tennis.
Beauty is in the eve of the be-
holder some one said a long time
ago. Modern developments do not
seem to have changed it much.
Just what Is the ideal of woman's
looks? Some of the San Francisco
opinions are as follows:
Miss Alice Hager, golf champion
Whether a woman loses her good
looks depends on the care given her
appearance. OF course, If she takes
no care of her skin or her figure.
she will go down frightfuIiy. Let
her take some thought of her ap-
pearance, and there is no reason
why she can not keep her looks and
be athletic as well.
Miss MOllfe Sidebotham, who rides
It's perfectly absurd. A woman is
much better looking ii she's athletic.
She keeps her youth and color.
don't see how an Englishman can
make such q statement as that when
one sees the wonderful old ladies in
England You see women in the
hunting field who are 60 years old,
with good, fresh color and graceful
figures. OF course, they are wrinkled.
but think what they would be in
any other country, where they didn't
take so much exercise. Staying in
the house makes one shrivel up and
wrinkle much worse. Lack of exer-
else makes the muacles drop. and

Miss Helen Hinckley, who rides-I
don't think it's true at all. People
1 know who ride a lot look all the
better for 1t. If proper care is
taken of the skin 1t makes it much
prettier because 1t gives such a
good color. Riding is good exer-
else. and think that must neces-
sarily make ones looks better.
Mrs. John Rogers Clark. golf cham
pion-Athletic exercise improves
the looks and health. 1t really
makes the skin better because of
the fresh air and exercise. IT
makes woman more graceful and

tendency to make the hands larger.
OF course, 1t does destroy the pink
and white prettiness which the girl

skin which, to my mind, is more
attractive
