asked Miss VIVA Bailey, who is one
of b f. Keith's stars, and who smiled
at me appealingly from under the
shade Of big green hat as l waited
for an answer. 1t wasn't very long
in coming, for she said slowly after
thinking a moment, "If I had every
thing in the world taken from me

choose strength above all others.
Il don't know why | have always

ably because all the women ] have

in body, but strong in unfolding prin-
Ciple, in fighting down a misfortune.
in really being all the things that go
to make up a universe of right mind
ed people, the kind of people that,
after all is said and done, really
count.
The strong woman is, to my mind,
the beautiful woman. She has
strength OF character carved in her
face. her smile means power her
lessness. There is nothing small or
mean about her, nothing of the cring-
ing attitude Of the coward. And be-
cause she Is strong, she is pure
minded The petty smallnesses of
everyday life make no impression on
the bigness Of her; she is above it all,
and yet she is human, deliciously
human, the kind of woman who
could soothe and help the sorrowful
one moment and the next go out pre-
pared to fight her battles and those
perhaps of her weaker sister with
the calm conviction that right is sure
to prevail
The strong woman must have
physical strength to balance her SUI

everything i'm her power to help her
