BY FRED l.. BOALT.

The most beautiful woman? I
don't believe it. The lips are too
thick. The nostrils are too dis
tended. There is too much of the
animal i'm the face of this woman
who, Harrison Fisher, world-fa-
nous painter of fair women, says
is the most beautiful woman in
America. s
The picture is a reproduction
of Fishers painting of Pauline
Fredericks, the star of Joseph
and His Brethren" the biblical
pageant which is being shown at
the Century theater, New York.
We printed it last Friday. We
make no apology for printing it
again.
The most beautiful?
Take another LOOK. 1t is a beau
tiful face-yes. The most beau
tiful?-no! The most beautiful
face must have spiritual, as well
as physical, perfection. Here the
wide-set, melancholy eyes are the
least bit hard, the droop of the
too-thick lips is too marked.
There is too much animalism, too
much bitterness, too much world
wisdom in this face.

icks is animal-natured, bitter, or
worldly wise. / do not know. l

these qualities. The artist is not

beautiful faces-right here in Ta-

mad when l read Fishers compla-

of his was the most beautiful.

forthwith on beauty hunt of my
own. 1 hope no women readers
of the Times were offended by my
stares. / scanned the faces along
Pacific avenue and @ street and
the short streets intersecting
them. I visited all the big stores.

on whatever pretexts occurred to
me.
And I saw hundreds of pretty,
almost perfect, faces. am not

truly American types. visited

but too big, too blond, too cold.
Finally went to the post
Office. A girl was buying a
stamp. She turned-and we
came face to face.

of Art she had Fishers beauty

er beauty plus. / mean that her
wonderful face lacked those al-
most indefinable blemishes which
mar the face of the stage beauty.
Her mouth, 1t is true, dropped at
the corners, giving her a look of
wistful sadness. Not bitterness.
The eyes, wide-set, were dreamy.
Not melancholy. And back of the

LuCy's Shoes
Cost S23
Now

Lucy Luce of Tacoma pur-
chased a pair of shoes from
the Regal shoe store recent
1y, and thereby hangs a tale.
For Lucy's shoes have cost
her total of 1923 to date,
and the bill is still growing.
Lucy found that her shoes
had cracked open shortly aft
er she bought them, and she
filed suit for $5 damages
against the shoe company on
this allegation. The case was
tried before Judge Westcott
yesterday afternoon. After
$1S worth of witnesses had
been heard, the court threw
out the case, because he
found that he had no juris-
dictiOn over the shoe COM
pany. The concern is incor-
porated in another state, and
suit must be filed i'm the
federal court.
Lucy did not say whether
she would force the case to
further trial.

A searching inquiry into the
causes of yesterdays O.-W. II. a.
N. train wreck near Tacoma will
begin tomorrow morning at 0:3O
under directiOen of the state
railway commission in the north
federal courtroom. Judge God
man of Seattle, chairman of the
commission, and Jesse s. Jones of
Tacoma, a member, visited the
scene of the wreck this morning
and spent several hours obtaining
information concerning the causes.
1t was reported to the commits
siOns that a section gang had been
working on the track at the very
spot of the wreck yesterday, and
that it was believed the rails had
spread because new ties had been
insecurely fastened. Neither of
the railway commissioners would
express their views regarding this
information, but said that all
facts concerning the wreck that
could be obtained would be
brought out at the hearing.

What caused it no one may
ever know.
A broken rail lay in the mass
after the accident. Workmen
putting in new ties and the rails
may have spread.

Turned the Tables.

At Scotch weddings some years ago
it used to be the custom to batter
the hat of the bridegroom as he was
leaving the house in which the Cere-
mony took place. on one of those oC-
Casions the friends of a newly mar
ried couple trelatives of the bride
groom) determined to carry out the
observance of this custom to the
letter.
The bridegroom heard them dis
CusSing their plans, and dispatched a
messenger to the carriage (Which
stood waiting) with his hat some
time previous to his departure. Then
DOMINIC the hat Of the male relative
who had plotted against him, he pre-
pared to go out TO the carriage.
No sooner had he got to the door
than his hat was fuTiOusly assaulted
and almost destroyed He walked
out of the house amid the laughter
of the bystanders and entered the
vehicle, then, taking the battered
hat from his head he threw it into
the hands Of its proper owner. eX-

The Bibles of Presidents
Some Interesting Facts Concerning Them.

pared with the copy Of the Bible, bound
in red leather with silver clasps, on
which Washington took the oath as
first President of the Republic on the
balcony of the old Federal Hall in New
York. 1t was borrowed for the occa-
sion, and the descendants of those who
lent it preserve it as a most sacred
relic.
Americans, inspired perhaps by the
example Of the late Pierpont Morgan,
who included many historic Bibles
among his art treasures. have of late
years exhibited a great passion for Bible
collecting. Bibles belonging to Queen
Anne, George III and Richard, Duke of
Gloucester, are to be found in the
United States.
1t was II. E. Huntington, the railway
magnate of America, who a couple of
years ago paid $50. 900 for a Gutenberg
Bible which was once in the Ashburn-
ham Library. America, however, has
not succeeded in securing a literary
treasure 10 be found among the finest
collection Of English Bibles in the world,
at the Bristol Baptist College. This col
lege possesses the only perfect copy In
existence of Tyndale's first New Tesla
ment, printed at Worms in 1926. The
then Bishop of London bought up and
burned this first edition. and thus pro-
vidsd Tyndale money for an improved
and larger one. The only other frag-
ment of the destroyed edition is now
in the British Museum, but It stops short
at the 22d chapter of st. Matthew
The trustees of the college have often
been tempted to dispose of this unique
volume, but hitherto they have been
proof against temptation, though no less
than $50, 900 has been offered for it.
Another valuable Bible in the collec-
ton is a copy of Coverdale's Bible. pub
hshed in 1885. Lincoln Cathedral pos
sesses the only other perfect copy in
existence, although six other more or
less complete copies are known to exist

bit Jagged" Then she derided Jennie for trying
to take her fellow away from her.
They had a fine row, which made the fellow
who seemed to always pay for their "parties"-very
angry. He told the girl he was tired of her any
way, and she had better get some one else to pay
her expenses.
Then he proceeded to make violent love to Jen-
nie-and poor Jennie didn't know what to do.
The other fellow-the Jennie was with before
didn't have much to say and whatever his friend
did was all right, being how his friend held the
purse strings.
Coming back in the machine they sat on the
back seat and the fellow talked and talked and
tried to get Jennie to consent to let him furnish
up flat for her, and she could have anything she
wanted. But Jennie was crying and all she would
say was "NO-NO-NO!" Her girl friend wouldn't
speak to her, but had vowed to get even--if it was
the last thing in the world she ever did. Jennie
begged the fellow TO take her home-but he held
her all the tighter in his arms, kissing her.

Some interesting facts have also been
revealed regarding the Bibles used by
American Presidents. When Grover

first Inauguration he brought with him
little red Bible his mother had given
him when he was a boy, and which
he had always cherished as a keepsake
on that Bible he took the oath of Of

package, which proved to be a large

they wished Mr. Mckinley to use it.
Their request was granted. and the big
Bible was one of the show objects in

a long time afterwards.
