Edwin Blashfield mural decorator, says:
There are four types or ages Of beauty-chil-
dren who most handsome; youth, between
the ages of sixteen and nineteen; middle age,
ranging from twenty-five to thirty, and women
who are mounting the ladder OF time toward the
halfcentury mark.
Il have seen many handsome women at forty
Ave and fifty. Sometimes wrinkles exceed
ingy beautiful in women of that age. Persons
who use their brains great deal in after life
generally are exceedingly attractive, Wrinkles
enhance this type.

CARDS age. / models from nineteen to thirty,
but by do consider they are the en-
bodiment of all that is beautiful
Harrison Fisher illustrator, has his personal

Il prefer the beauty Of woman from sixteen to
twenty-eight" he says. Between those periods
of life consider her the most charming because
she embodies ali the spirit of youth the innocence

I have them at thirty and thirty-fve and

may have lost some Of the fairness of their girl
hood days, but they have made up for 1t In physi-

woman of thirty has developed She has learned
the value Of dress, how to attire herself in

The woman beauty at fifty is less in evidence
