.HoW would you feel if you we're so
really beautiful that you never
had to think of beautlfers Of
any kind? How would you feel if you
had a skin so soft and flower textured
that beauty specialists marveled at It?
How would you like to be just plump
enough to have dimpled shoulders and
tapering arms and yet slim enough to
dance like a fairy?
If you would be all Of these things
you must study life under the motto
adopted by Miss Frances Glare, one Of
Marcus Loew's stars, who has all Of
these attractions and more still.
Miss Clare is the reincarnation OF

the only way in the world to keep

all that has been written on the sub

there be a better way for US to cultivate
youth than TO have it ever present be-

:. Keeping Young
. . .

The very best thing in all the world
for reducing is to roll. II you have
friends who tell you that it will do no
earthly good, believe me when tell you
that have reduced from s to 10 pounds
week by rolling. OF course it is very
strenuous work and very unpleasant
but many people will sacrifice anything
for beauty. Dieting, too, will help won
derfuliy, and If you are addicted to
afternoon tea drinking you need not
sacrifice that. either. for If you wait an
hour before eating anything. it will have
no effect on the regular diet However,
| really and truly don't believe that It
Is necessary TO do all this to get thin.
If you lead a regular life after you have
lost as much as you desire, and take
plenty of exercise, you will never be
bothered with superfluous fat, but will
be just az nature intended you to be
Rolling and dieting are only for those
who have abused nature to the extent
OF becoming unnecessarily and unbe-
comingly fat.
And SO | am perfectly happy and
contented, because why? Oh. because
l have youth, and because I think l
have found way TO keep youth al
ways with me. II could have my way,
Id like TO live forever on a farm out
in California where the days are all
sunshine and on my farm I'd have a
dozen kiddies or so, that I would beg,
hNF~r 80
pick up anywhere, ana we'd romp in
the sunshine all Gay long. and I'd grow
younger and younger every day.
But I'm afraid my wish wKl not
come true al present, and until II does
I'm going TO work out my IDEAS vher-
ever l am. I am going to keep nv

Cigarette Smoking Under Ban Of Censorship

Mrs. John B. Henderson, who is the

quested fair smoker to go outside.
Lady Alan Johnston, daughter of
Mrs. James Pinchot, is one OF the de-

while riding in an automobile from

Lady Johnston struck the first note
In the battle some time ago, when
she offered her cigarette case to 9TH

was a crusader, and is said to have

Ice Skating Real Fad in Society at CAPITAL

THAT part of Washington society
/ which delights in outdoor winter
sports has started a movement to dis
cuss the ways and means of promot-
Ing ice skating. To that end invita-
tions were sent out by committee
Of interested men and women for
meeting which was held In the ban
uuet hall of one Of the large hotels.
It is hoped the feeble efforts of Jack
Frost" In Washington may be supple
mented and real ice skating provided
for those who wish.
The tidal basin at the foot of the
Washington monument is unsafe at
best. and then there are only a few
days skating on 1t through the win
ter. Last year the time was extended
somewhat because of the almost un-
precedented cold weather In this re-
gion There are many expert skaters
In Washington, who come from all
parts Of the. world. Most of them be-
