Wllady's
Mirror
Style Versus Beauty.

"IIandsOme is az handsome does" Is
q good old fashioned axiom, and beautJ
of soul Is fine thing; so is being good
hearted. Many plain looking woman
has found consolidate in the two latter
attributes. In ancient Greece there
were two kinds Of women, the Venuses
and the Minervas. When Venus frown
ed on one consolation was sought In
Minerva. One Is always Minerva
from second choice. Venus sits back in
q porch rocker, calm, cool and serene
In the knowledge that her hair won't
get out Of curl, her complexion won't
blow off and she doesn't have to talk
Just smile and everybody basks in 1t.
Minerva works hard, her hair is limp,
her nose Is shiny, and she can't keep
cool because she engages In heated ar
guments. Venus marrieS the million
aire and rides in n chnise; Minerva
marries the professor and darns stock
ings. What n giddy world 1t would be
If women were all Venuses, for 1t Is I'M
doubtedly the Minervas who are the
balance wheel Of society.
In modern days the next best thing
to being a Venus, IL ono cannot be n
Minerva, Is TO be stylish.
What Is this seemingly indehnable
thing called style? What is 1t that diff
ferentiateS one woman from another?
Why Is 1t that one woman will be Styl-
ish and the other dowdy, though gown
ed in the same manner? Why will
pretty woman often pale into insignih-
canoe beside her palmer sister? One OF
the first things when the desire is born
to be stylish or smart looking, as the
English say. Is to feel stylish. This is
easler than to feel beautiful, as Is oc-
casionally advocated. The feeling that
one has style Is braclng. UncOnscously
the body straightens, the head goes up
and the step becomes smarter and
brisker.
Another point to consider In this
achievement Is the polse of the body.
She who sinks along and shuffles her
feet will never attain the desired end,
tf style he her desire. Much has been
accomplished when once you have
thrown your shoulders back, your head
up and acquired smart step, for the
proper carriage and walk are the foun-
dalton of style.

Stick Insects, which are so called
Because of their resemblance to dry
sticks, have two forelegs. which they
fold over their eyes when disturbed
and evidently think that in so doing
they are lost to view. The eggs OF
these insects take over six months to
hatch. They are only tenth OF an
inch In their widest part, yet an insect
which at Matching is three-quarters OF
an inch in length is packed into them,
The stick Insects destroy the weak
hngs by eating their legs.
