unison:
A woman can be beautiful at fifty.
Harken to what Harrison Fisher, Irwin Wiles,
Edwin Blashfeld and Victor D. Bremen say.
This galaxy of illustrator, painter, mural deco
rator and sculptor has come to the defense of
physical beauty in woman past the middle span
of life. They've all seen matrons and spinsters
who were handsome when the half-century post
had faded on the ten-year distant horizon.
Cheer up, mothers grandmothers aunts and
ccusins-you whose silver-sprinkled tresses
droop over sylvan folds of face and brow! What
matters it IL nature rebels at the strain of busy
life and sears your velvet cheeks with the In

Victor D. Bremen, sculptor, who knows the
soft and pleasing lines of figure well as he
knows the face, is to the fore the most out
spoken and uncompromising indorser of this new
viewpoint in art. "All women are to be adj
mired," he put It generally. and declares that
femininity IL every condition of servitude and
